Today, I started my first class in Gnomon School of Visual Effects. I will be learning how to create 3D effects in Maya, a skill set I can hopefully use at my work in mobile development.
I was very impressed with the final projects of last semester students, there was a Hobbit house and Star Trek Enterprise command room among many other high quality projects. I was amazed what we will learn in one semester.
My final project will be to create interior of log cabin, I call this project "Log Cabin I would build myself"I will post my progress here.
Take time to browse their website, they are really the best FX school out there:

Example student work (and quality benchmark for me):
My favorite quotations..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein
