I have started playing with Maya and I find that it has tons of terms that only someone who has taken a class in it would know. I remember studio 3D had a nice drag and drop feature for where you want to put spot lights. I don't see it in Maya.
And if I want to have the obect have a certain texture I have found the list of materials are seemingly presented in some sort of pseudo jargon or (Mayan?) almost another language.
Let me ask some direct questions. How do I organize spotlights and flood lights in Maya? How would I apply a texture like paper to a surface in Maya? I have gotten pretty far with the tutorials that come with Maya. But I find that they only go so far.
