Lesson 3: Viewing the Maya 3D scene
Lesson 3: Viewing the Maya 3D scene
Camera tools
Introduction
In the previous lesson you learned how to view
your 3D scene by changing between single and four view layouts.
It is important for you to learn how to change your views in a more
interactive manner so that you can: view your objects close up or
far away, select objects more accurately, or view objects from different
angles in your perspective view.
In this lesson you learn how to:
- Understand
the difference between moving objects in the scene and moving the
point of view on the scene.
- Use
the dolly, track, and tumble camera tools to change the view of
your scene in both the orthographic and perspective views.
- Rotate
objects using the transformation tools in the Toolbox.
- Select
objects using a variety of techniques.
- Group
objects together so they can be transformed as a unit.
- Display
objects in both wireframe and shaded modes.
- Use
additional primitive objects and options.
