I want to be modeler. I started use Maya from September last year. And i am doing tutorials, watching techniques. And i am trying to do something without tutorial. I admire Vitaly Bulgarov. Want to become like him or even better lol.
This tutorial gives you a nice general overview about rigging in Modo(learned a lot from this one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5359K46xUo There are also free tutorials about animation in Modo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bimfxNz7bmU&index=3&list=PLi2GhhsPL-Rr4DJY_tJWcsz5R8-_kgZ1_

Do people really need mudbox tutorials? Really isnt that the point, its super simple to use? I can understand why people would want ZB tutorials, because that shit is from the moon. But mud is like, just open it up and work, is there anything more to it than that?
Nice model, and I wait this mod! But, many poeple prefer Material ID based normal and AO baking. With material ID-s the scene parts stay original position, for correct AO and corect normals. (Dozer Part 2 tutorial and 3DMotive Normal Tricks tutorial for more info)
This is a great tutorial on normal map baking. It goes over how to do an exploded bake. Its for 3ds max but the exploded bake process should be similar in other 3d software. http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3d-studio-max/how-to-bake-a-flawless-normal-map-in-3ds-max/
