Open the scene for the lesson

In this lesson, you’ll work with a scene that we created for your use. The scene contains a human head. In the remainder of the lesson, you’ll alter this into a goblin head.

To open the scene

1. Make sure you’ve done the steps in Preparing for the lesson.
2. Open the scene file named Poly_head.mb.

   This file can be found in the Getting Started directory that you set as your Maya project:

   Getting Started/PolygonModeling/Poly_head.mb

   The scene contains a human head in a visible layer with a hat and glasses on hidden layers.
