Preparing for the lessons
 
 
 

To ensure this tutorial works as described, confirm that you have Maya Muscle loaded. The Muscle menu displays in the main menu bar if Muscle is loaded. If you need to load Muscle manually, see Load Maya Muscle.

If you have not already done so, copy the Maya Muscle Advanced Techniques folder from the following location: www.autodesk.com/maya-advancedtechniques.

It is recommended that you save your work periodically and at the end of each section as you progress through this tutorial, however sample files of the finished scene for each example are also included.
