Class 2

Ok I just 4 more to go and then I am right where I need to be :)

Class 2

In class 2 we took everything we learned from that class and placed it to a test. Ok now you try! you got five minutes restate everything. Don't worry I can't do it well either. I know what it does but saying it right is hard. I have to study them every time I open the program or am using them.

First off the keyboard commands I know for a mac. 

• Q =Select Tool
• W= Move Tool
• E = Rotate Tool
• R = Scale Tool
• F = Focus
• Spacebar = Switch selecting mood that is when you are on an object. When not then it is a Maya help tool

 Now that we have those in thought, and reviewed the basics it time to move on to the project

Making a Simple House

Make a cube and make sure you understand the Channel Box

Channel box- is located on the right side. This information relates to the X, Y, and Z, translation, rotation, and scaling for the active object. This allows one to input what they want about their shape. Thy can inform how big they want it to how small.

Plus from no on understand GEOMETRY now!!!!! ((But don't let it hurt you or over think stuff))

Start with a cube and this is when the Edit Mesh Menu comes into play. These are the ones we learned to use with our house

• Extrude
• Cut Faces
• Curve tool

Just remember when you extrude or you will get lost and your geometry will fail! I had a lot of problems with cutting faces and extruding, but now that I got the hang of it. It isn't that hard to do. My house has a nice wood door that has nice wood panels on it. Plus my windows look really cool like they are boxed up and all over the place. I want to say it was on purpose, but it wasn't. I was having problems with the extrude... I figured out what I was doing wrong. I don't think I will fix them because they look so cool :) 

Also had to make a fence and a table. First table false because legs are different sizes. Other table work because I pulled them out at the same time.

Fence works to a degree, but I need to remake one now that I know better geometry. Oh before I need this you see the tub at the top. That is my attempt at a gutter. I am working on it still. I will up date you on it as I finish it.
