Blender has incredibly helpful basics tutorials on their site, which should refresh your memory. As for importing MLCAD models into Blender, BiM user Lechnology has made a great topic about it, as well as other Blender things pertaining to brickfilming. Links to both in just a second.

EDIT:
Blender tutorials, both basics and some more advanced things, right here.

Sooooo, I've been trying to find a decent tutorial on how to make a Minecraft rig in MAYA.

Most of the ones on YouTube are done by people who clearly have very little idea about what they are doing, however, there are a few good ones, but they are in french.

Would anyone happen to know of a good one?

I used to have Maya on my computer. A friend had let me install their family version (which lets you install it on several computers). I didn't really know how to use it, but I was trying to learn. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

No, in all seriousness, I had to wipe my computer clean and start again. I'm about to have to do it again.

I'm pretty sure there is. Not like a PG-13, just a multiple computer version. Most software comes with the option, but it's much more expensive. I don't know if it's actually called a 'family' version though - might be under a different name.

Maybe. I can't seem to find it on the website. They might not do it anymore.

It's actually called a network license.

Okay, from an old side project.

You know, if you hit the spacebar and search for specific commands, the keyboard shortcut will show up. Also, if you go into the settings, you should be able to see all the commands and the keyboard shortcuts for them. I'm sure there are also tutorials for the user interface, and you should know that before you start getting into what you DO with the program.

Or you could just spend a few minutes punching keys and see what happens.

Double post.

As I've mentioned before, I'm getting into MAYA, so here is a test render I did for Eric Fullerton's super-secret project.
