So here goes. I just joined the list, and am somewhat new to maya, but have plenty of experience with Max.
I'm an illustrator/animator/game artist among other things and some day I'll come up with a title that covers all those discriptions.
Anyway I lookforward to participating on this board, and checking out everyones work.
