I aggree 3D world is not the way to go for maya specific articles. I can't suggest any I'm afraid. But I'd stick with 3D world, as it does give you a wonderfully broad perspective on the industry, and there are some kick a$$ tutorials for the other packages. The more programmes you know the more employable you are, so knowing a bit about them can't hurt

Has anyone every considered starting a SimplyCG mini-e-zine? Just a few articles/ tuts a month on the front page from anyone who has time a bit of time to write short articles. It doesn't need to be a huge endeavour, I think it could work
. Heck if there's interest I'd consider editing it myself
! Unless there's someone more qualified willing to take it on haha!
I think it would be a really awesome community thing.
