well don't worry as part of revamping my site ... currently i'm working on a small selection of tutorials (which i keep getting threatening emails from people to do) but more importantly each are to be written for each of the major programs i use
Maya 4.5 - 3D Studio Max 4 - Softimage XSI 3.0 - trueSpace 6.5 - Lightwave 7.5
basically what'll happen is each tutorial will be written first in Max, but then i'll add a section for Maya users - then Softimage users - etc...
and no matter the 3D program you use, you'll be able to take a look at the tutorials and hopefully learn something new about the program you're using.
Being seasoned or not in a program tends to not matter as there is always a new technique that a certain modeler uses which is just thier 'style' and oftenly others would never have thought of

this is probably a major reason i spend talking alot with other modelers and skinners - we all swap tips and such as a result the base of our 3D knowlage grows and gives us just that extra option or two when we wanna create new things.
so something to look forward to
Tsu'va Oni Ni Jyuuko Fiori Sei Tau!
