2009 Summer Projects

Anyone doing anything interesting to keep your Max skills sharp?
I've been trying to do some modeling. I've spent the last couple days making a human model that has gone so-so. It is only my second character model and is a huge improvement over the first, but still is not correct with anatomy. I think I'm going to focus on animals after this experiment, because I've learned that I'm not very good with humans. I'll give a link to a render when I've spent more time on it.
I also plan to work on rigging and getting walk cycles down.
I'm curious as to what everyone else is doing and any good resources?
I've been liking 3dtotal.com so far and it seems there are a lot more good tutorials on that website that I plan to take a look at.
