Maya's Learning Movies and Tutorials
When you start Maya for the first time, you will be presented with the Learning Movies
window seen in
Figure 2.5
.
These one-minute movies cover some of the very basic ele-
ments in Maya, from moving and manipulating objects, to simple keyframe animation.

Maya's helpful Learning Movies take only a minute each.
I recommend that you watch these movies before you proceed in this chapter. If you have
already skipped past the Learning Movies window, you can reopen it by going to Help >
Learning Movies.
If you have time, I also recommend looking at Maya's built-in tutorials (Help > Tutorials).
ThesecovereveryaspectofMayaandgobeyondthefundamentalsintheLearningMovies
to show more advanced areas such as expressions and MEL (Maya Embedded Language).
