To ensure the lessons work as described, do
these steps before beginning:
Make
sure you understand the basic concepts of polygon modeling, animation,
and dynamics.
If
you have not already done so, copy the GettingStarted folder
from its installation location to your projects directory.
Then, set the GettingStarted directory
as your Maya project. For more information, see
Copying and setting the Maya project in
the Getting Started with Maya guide.
Select
the nDynamics menu set. Unless
otherwise noted, the directions in this chapter for making menu
selections assume you’ve already selected the nDynamics menu
set.
