If your looking for beginner stuff then i would recommend getting the free cd of maya traing videos:
OrestesMantra

Yeah, the cds from 3dbuzz.com or awesome if you have never used Maya before. Very detailed and Buzz is good at explaining things and never rushing you.
And also, they are 100% FREE.No gimics. Type in your address and in a week or so youâll have a cd.That simple.They only ask to join the forums.

Ok guys i went through most of these links, and all im looking for is a tutorial running through the different sub d operations. I am a max user, and know it inside and out, and use meshtools and cspolytools. Where are these tools for Maya and how do i use them! I would hate to think that to extrude a surface i have to enter a numerical number in a window and hope it comes out right. Thanks guys. :buttrock:
edit:nevermind i figured out maya haaahhaaha

AroundTheFur: If you have MAYA, just hit F1 and then look for SUB DIVISION SURFACES. It will tell you everything you need to know about how to work with SUB-Ds. If youâre used to working with POLYs but still want that SUB-D smoothness, look for POLYGON PROXY MODE. It gives you a polygon mesh while viewing a smoothed SUB-D surface.
