Chris: I'm looking forward for this transition training videos. I cannot find any high quality level training (except few ones from Gnomon) that could speed up transition of senior XSI user to senior Maya user. Please be sure to show us in that upcoming trainings how to do stuff in Maya we are used to do in XSI, in same time or faster in Maya. And show us please also something we cannot do in XSI. Will there be any sneak peek of that mentioned features in Maya? Or they are far away from publishing?
It's quite disappointing that those videos aren't already published, It's almost 10 days when EOL was announced and probably much more than when it was planned and it looks like you started with this transition training idea just now. Please don't take it offensive. Will there be recording of the live Q&A webinar that was planned for the monday (for viewing later on the web)? Thank you very much, P.Z. 2014-03-15 17:37 GMT+01:00 Emilio Hernandez <[email protected]>: > Chris again. Thank you for helping in the transition and you are trying to > do your job.
