To ensure the lesson
works as described, do these steps before beginning:
- Select
File > New Scene.
- 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.
- As you work through these lessons, remember
to save your work frequently and increment the name of the file
every so often (filename1, filename2, and so on).
In this way you’ll have
earlier versions of your work to return to should the need arise.
- (Optional) Set the current project folder
to the Assets tutorial folder by selecting File > Project > Set. Then navigate
to the GettingStarted folder,
select the Assets folder and
click OK.
