In-Depth Information
You'll be quizzed in 10 minutes. Do you have it all memorized? Don't worry if you
haven't absorbed all the information in this chapter. Now that you've had some exposure
to the Maya user interface, you'll be familiar with the various windows when you really
get to work.
You can always come back to this chapter to refresh your memory. Remember, you
should learn the Maya program using its default settings. When in doubt, remember to
access the Maya Help system, as shown in Figure 3.34.
To start, concentrate on using the menus to access most com-
mands. After you're comfortable working in Maya, you can begin
using hotkeys and shortcuts, and eventually you may even cus-
tomize them. At this stage, though, focus on getting a clear under-
standing of the tools and what they do. You'll be introduced to
various hotkeys and shortcuts as you work through the exercises
in this topic.
