I dont think the CGIndia site is relevant enough, EL and SPAM issues aside. AREA is far less questionable, but I'm still for keeping it off since it's a portal rather than a specific article or resource. --Ronz 20:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

RonZ - please explain "relevant" ???

And let me tell you something about the point of view from the users side, I am least interested in knowing your 5 pillars etc.... but the link I suggested was totally relevant.....Beside using your moderation power and your pride,… Consider logic and common sense as your first tool......The both the link ( CGIndia and AutoDesk’s “AREA”) are relevant for following specified section - visual effects (VFX), Computer Graphics , Maya (software), 3ds Max.....You may invite Wiki users for voting and host a poll :) ..........................May Be some1 above you look into your matter.....Please stop repeating or may i say pasting same old comments on every once post. --Wiki187 11:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The burden is on you is to demonstrate the value of your edits. Also, your personal attacks against me are not appreciated. --Ronz 15:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Ronz on this one. The CGIndia link is just not relevant enough. It is not Maya-specific. There are dozens of websites that provide content similar to that one. I don't see why it merits a link from the Maya page, unless you want to see screenfulls of links here. The Area is more relevant I agree... Martinpw 20:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias?

The "Select Features" section sounds like an advertisment, in name and content

I swear--It's like reading the back of the box... If no one wants to improve and expound on it, it would probably best be deleted. --DMAJohnson 17:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
The entire article sounds like an advertisement.

[edit] Cleanup

Here's the kind of thing I think needs cleaning up (I didn't add the tag though).

Forward Kinematics
The reverse of Inverse Kinematics.
Inverse Kinematics
The reverse of Forward Kinematics.
Lighting
In the real world, when light shines on a surface, the parts of the surface facing toward the light source appear illuminated, and the parts of the surface facing away from the light source appear dark. If one object is located between a second object and the light source, the first object casts a shadow onto the second object.

These are some of the most pointless examples, but much of the article seems to be nothing more than an enumeration of features with a brief description of each. I don't think so much detail is of general interest and many of the features listed aren't Maya-specific so don't deserve more than a pasing mention. I think most of it could be condensed to a couple of paragraphs (Maya offers the usual features of 3D modelling programs, such as x,y,z and [ is notable for / is unique in / pioneered ] support of a,b,c). Is all this chaff the result of expansion of the "Select Features" as suggested above under Bias? --Mollymoo 15:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maya this, Maya that...

Anyone else annoyed at the amount of times a sentence starts with Maya? Yes, the article is about Maya, we don't have to refer to it every single time; we know it's about Maya.
