Blog Progress Update Week 10

In this weeks blog progress update i follow a tutorial for animating a logo forming from particles. The address for this tutorial is http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-maya/animate-a-logo-forming-from-particles-in-maya/ . I had to redo this tutorial a handful of times as i felt the directions weren't exactly clear for what they asked me to do.  The basic tutorial asked me to create a handful of particles and fade them out and traditional letters in to create a logo. Now it may have been that i was just following an tutorial built for an old version of maya but I felt like some of the instructions weren't clear or made no sense. It asked me to open the preferences several times but i only used them once and to hit a certain key combination then press delete but it had no result on my version of maya.

I ultimately wasn't able to get it working but i understood the general idea it was putting forth. I feel that this tutorial could due with being rewrote for a newer version of maya or just in general as i found it very difficult to follow.
