Introduction and Maya Overview
• The Process
• User Interface : Menus in Maya, Modules and menu set, User interface sets, The Shelf, Camera Panels, Layouts
• Working with files: files, references, projects, Objects Scene management editors, Viewport selection, using the outliner, Scene hierarchy, Nodes and Attributes, Display layer, Editor Transformation
• Transformation tools, Snapping, Duplicate, Additional transformation, Topics
Modeling with Polygons
• Basic shapes
• Editing, mesh tool, mesh, edit mesh
• Exercise: object modeling: cpu, mouse, flowers, pen, Still Life etc.
In-organic Modeling such as Solar systems, mountain, Prop Modeling for game or films, stage show background, gaming background. Automotive like car, bus and van with reference pictures. To create a model as it is in the picture.
