2/11 & 2/12

Today students will begin their first reading tutorials.  I will teach the students a few new thing before they began and also how to read the tutorials efficiently.

How to get to your online tutorials:

1. Open Maya
2. Go to "Help" in your main menu.
3. Go down to tutorials and then a website will open.
4. Find the "Maya 2012" version and click on "Getting started with Maya 2012" the first option listed.
5. Then open to whatever lesson you are currently working on.

Students will begin the unit "Maya Basics" today that is located on the left hand side of your online tutorials.  This lesson walks you through the steps of making a temple.  The lesson begins in Chapter 2 (the first chapter is review of things you already know.  If you feel that you need to read through Chapter 1, feel free to do so). 



For the rest of today, students should work on their Temple tutorial.  We will continue with the lesson next class! 


New things to remember:

 

 

Below you will see part of the tutorial dealing with the duplicate special option box:  The first picture is what you will see, the second picture is how you should read the numbers.
