I have really enjoyed following these tutorials and have learned a lot from them. I wish I had completed more of them by the time of my final animation for Fantastic Voyage, as I expect it would have been greatly improved. My ability to animate and control my scenes in Maya, and general Maya proficiency, has greatly improved over the course of the year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the improvements I'll make from the following years' tutorials as well.
