EDIT/UPDATE: Taking a term off from teaching and going to push hard on upping my skills. Of course in Maya effects, but also in other areas... here's the plan. Right now, 3dsmax, Fume, Krakatoa, Fracture, and Maya are my main focuses.
Nuke :: working knowledge - advanced
currently : none
plan : Gnomon Nuke DVD's or just have some guys at work show me the ropes.
General Compositing, going through "The Art and Science of Digital Compositing" <- great book
3dMax :: general good working knowlage
currently : Got 3dsmax, doing some basic tutorials to learn the interface
plan : Assortment of Gnomon DVD's (not sure yet which ones)
Fume :: advanced
currently : got it, not working.
plan : mess around with it, have my friend Ian Farnsworth show me a thing or two
Krakatoa :: working
currently : none
plan : online tutorials
Maya
advanced lighting; rendering in Mental Ray
currently : good
plan : Gnomon DVD's and read "Introduction to Computer Graphics" by James D. Foley
Fracture (Maya Plug-in): advanced
current : some tutorials
plan : use it at work (got it) and get really good with it.
Houdini :: not actively
current : decent can get around and do what I need to, but I'm slower right now in H than Maya
The overall plan is to get 3dsmax, Fume, and Krakatoa into Asylum so I can use it everyday on shots that would benefit from it. Thats the best way to learn it, but have to start by showing some cool examples of what I can do with it first.

Wow man, I think it's great ur plan of attack..but when will you sleep/wife/kids?
Looking forward to your next tut..
IMO ur trying to do too much. choose one and get really good at it. the expertise you get from that focus will inform all your other work.
i did the same a while back for a year and half way thru i dumped everything and focused on one thing and its really paid off knowledge wise
also if u want to learn TP try cinema 4d. the workflow is much nicer than max plus u get a lot of houdini style juice out of mograph
hey / ive learned a few things from your tutorials...hope u keep em coming...thought id give u some comments since u turned them on...cheers
I should say of that 3dmax is going nowhere! hah. Haven't even looked for it. Don't have it. I'm taking it easy a little, reading a book on compositing, will get a book on fundamentals of cg to learn better lighting. other than that probably all I'll do, in reality. Nuke. I'll learn Nuke for sure, probably in the next month.
learning nuke is pain in the ass :)
Hi,David. I'm Johnny. The same to you ,i've got a plan like you said. First, i would got NUKE and got the book read.And maybe Houdini next. I don't know which do the first ,FumeFX or Houdini.I only have one brain on my neck. I'm doing my FX job in China less than 1 year, benefit from your tutorials.It's great we have the same target.
