Preparing for the lessons

To ensure the lesson works as described, do these steps before beginning:

1. If you have not already done so, download the lesson files from http://www.autodesk.com/maya-tutorials. Copy the Getting Started with Maya 2014 Lesson Files zip file to your local drive and unzip the folder.
2. Select File > Set Project and set the GettingStarted2014LessonData\FileReferencing directory as your Maya project. For more information, see Downloading the lesson files and setting the Maya project.
3. 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.
