If you have NO idea what Xeniveristy is, I mentioned the Canal Street Loft from their store yesterday!
TOTALLY EXCITED! *giddy*
I will tell you, Xenius is pretty stinkin’ good at this stuff. Being that I don’t know crap about Maya, I can only go off what I have seen of his. He’s a good guy too. :P
that is really awesome.. but too expensive for me :( after you learn all you can, make video tutorial or something lol think of the poor folk!
Any further trainings planned in the near future? Do you provide one on one tutorials?
