"But i just cant seem to find any decent tutorials." Try the "Learning Maya 7" series, which you should be able to pick up as a bundle for cheap. It will get you up to speed quickly. If you want to master Maya, you will run into a problem. You've got this amazing Poser Runtime, but you won't realize any of Maya's benefits if you're using DAZ characters due to the density of their meshes. Ultimately if you want to master Maya, you will have to give up DAZ characters and this will be very difficult thing to do because there's so much great stuff out there. Trust me on this. Jessi, James, et al. and P4 and earlier characters perform better because they average 35,000 polys or less. You could try Body Studio or the Greenbrier plugin but eventually you will run into the same problem. A whole new world will reveal itself when you begin modelling humanoids using subdivision surfaces. All of a sudden Maya performs less like a Cessna and more like an SR71. Why? You'll have a 1000 poly character that looks as smooth as a 72,000 poly character. You'll be very excited, you'll want to tell everyone about your amazing new headspace and (no offense to the forum) noone will know what you are talking about. I'm not a zealot, just sharing my observations.
