Two views of the scene: hierarchy and dependency

There are two basic ways to view your scene in Maya:

• As a hierarchical list of nodes. This shows which nodes are parents and children of other nodes.

  See Scene hierarchy.

• As a graph of connections between nodes. This shows which nodes provide input or output to other nodes.

  See Dependency graph.
