Hi, I am a 15 year old interested in Graphic Design . I use to use Maya PLE a lot. If you haven't alrdy, read the tutorials included with Maya PLE. Yes, Maya is very complex, but this is just how any 3d application is. I've tried looking for tutorials for maya a while ago but i found it very hard to find. Most tutorials on 3d i found were for lightwave and 3d studio max. Also, paperback books might be of value even though you gotta pay a little $. Good idea on getting a headstart on college. Thats what I'm doing too

I would sugest going about learning maya in a one step at a time thing, for example start doing polygons and basic modeling, poly is the easyest to model also Ill give you a link to the Maya tutorials.
