First 3D animation class

We are not using AutodeskMaya 2019, we are using AutodeskMaya 2018.5

Here are my notes on how to use Maya

First things first,
File - Project Window - Set location to D-drive

Keys I picked up today;

• Alt - Movement, rotate, etc
• 'w' 'e' 'r' are friends (move, rotate, and scale)
• '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' Different view frames
• "7 ways to do the same thing"
• Buttons for everything!
• The line of buttons above the creating screen, these are friends
• UNLIMITED MENU'S
• Right click, hold, different moods, e,g; Edge, Face, Object Mood
• Right screen menu's are key
• 'Shift' select with lasso for selecting more than one item
• Tool setting - to change the transformation default 'direction'
• 'symmetry' menu
• Edit Mesh -Extrude, button - 'ctrl' 'e' to extrude
• 'Extrude' button is friend
• 'Shift' click to select multiple things/faces/items
• BlackBoard is Friend! Use BlackBoard!

Soon, I will play and experiment with the different shapes I can create as blog homework.

I will also, publish the work I complected in the summer break, character concepts, tumbnailing, etc
