Maya started off as a major challenge to me (and still remains one but that will never change) however, when I look at how far I have come in my abilities across this year I am quite satisfied with what I have achieved. I think my biggest challenge with Maya still remains fixing something when it goes wrong without loosing my patience. I have discovered that I need to go slowly when modelling in order to not make silly mistakes and to allow the best results possible, and the most learned from each tutorial. When we first started with Maya it all seemed impossible, however standing on the other side and looking back at this year, I'm encouraged for what the next couple of years will bring and what I will learn.
