6. Workspace Panel Menu Grid Axis Direction Indicator

7. Transformation Manipulators Move : WRotate : EScale : R

8. Selection & De-Selection

9. Camera Tools  Dollying the view

10. Camera Tools – cont.  Tumbling the view

11. Camera Tools – cont.  Tracking the view

12. Primitive Objects  Maya Provides many types of primitive types and shapes

13. Primitive Objects – cont.  Primitive objects Used as a start point for various shapes and forms  To create primitive objects ‘Create > Polygon Primitives >’, ‘Create > NURBS Primitives >’, or Click ‘shelf’

14. Channel Box  Editing panel Object’s transformation information Control the attribute of an object with more accuracy

15. Attribute Editor  Provides attributes for the objects and materials More detailed display of all attributes for selected object

16. Surface Materials  Color, shininess and reflectivity attributes Controlled by its surface material  To assign a new material ‘Lighting/Shading > Assign New Material >’, or Right click & ‘Materials > Assign New Material >’

17. Grouping  Group Select objects  With L-button, shift-click each object, or  With L-button, drag one large bounding box From main menu, select ‘edit > group > ’

18. Practice

19. Polygonal Modeling  Menus used in this practices Edit polygons > Extrude Face Edit polygons > Split Polygon Tool Edit polygons > Subdivide > Polygons > Smooth

20. Create Polygon

21. Extrude & Split Polygon

22. Subdivide

23. Smooth

24. NURBS Modeling  NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) Method of mathematically describing curves and surfaces Characterized by the smooth organic forms

25. Revolving & Lofting  Used Menu Create > CV Curve Tool Surfaces > Revolve Snap to points (Status line) Edit > Duplicate Surfaces > Loft
