hi, ive never done any kind of modeling before (except for that silly donky i made from a plastic cup, straws, elbow maccaroni and glue on sparkles when i was 7) so i was wandering if u guys could direct me to some good tutorials for educationally challenged, and probably bad spelling individuals for maya. or if not any tutorials will do. thanx :)

i cant seem to find anything that will start me from scratch in those links. im looking for one that will explain everything as if u were loading up maya (and ant other 3d package) for the first time in ure life, and will start of by telling u to do somethink like make a simple 3d shape. thanx

read the documentation that comes with the software it pretty much goes over this stuff and some basic concepts...

Yup the Learning Maya books are excellent. The online docs also take you through a few tutorials and explain things like creating a loft, extruding a face, whatever, in great detail. Always start with the docs.
