All right, it said you can now extract AO... My prayers have been answered! Thanks for posting this fr0gg1e, I stopped looking at the autodesk site for updates to mudbox long ago. Now I am going to have to write down all those cutosom shortcuts I made just in case :(
Also,. Maya has a really lovely feature. The hotbox. I usually work without any UI piece up thanks to it. Mmm lovely workspace. As for tutorials. Hmm. I don´t know really. I learnt the basics by picking up the autodesk maya beginners book. The quality of that one is... so-so to say the least.

I am looking into optimization and saw your post here, checked out your portfolio and saw the tool you made. Is there any place that you uploaded it? Am trying to bake AO into the vertex color but the conventional way with Mental Ray and Maya 2018 doesn't work right now as Autodesk doesn't give out mirrors anymore.
I spent some time messing around with Maya muscle, and it seems it can't go above skinning about 10 muscles until it starts lagging badly.
