How to move objects = By clicking the Universal Manipulator button in the Tools Bar

How to see different views in MAYA = By heading to the Tools Bar and clicking the different view buttons.

How to Scale objects = By clicking the Scale tool in the Tools Bar

How to add Fur to an object = By Selecting the object, then clicking the Fur Tab in the tabs panel, then selecting a fur of your choice.

Goal and Steps

Finish my team's BPA Animation Project.


Specific: Finish the project in time and in good taste

Measure: To study the works and supply the necessary tools to finish

My short term goal, for this moment of class, is to make and finish the Animation Project my group and I are trying to complete. This isn't really much of a long term goal, but a Short term goal. Since, my group and I only have about 8 days left. We'll need to study what our project really is about and how we'll be able to finish with the right tools. We'll have meetings and random discussions when we come to it, as well as creating our storyboard. This'll be a challenge to complete, but with each team member finish to their job and do it well enough to pass. I know it will be a great project with outstanding results. We will finish.

3 problems... may hold me back

The problems I would encounter are many. But, I will only name three for now. For one, timing, this will be a diffucult since I may have not enough time to finish this project. So I'd need to focus and progress. Second, is imagination. I for have none, so, creating or making characters may take longer than usual and may be in bad quality. But, if time allows me, I can make it appealing. Lastly, Procrastination. This is a strong problem for since, I nearly always if not all the time procrastinate. I can not solve this easily, but, once I start a project, I finish it and do my best. We'll need to count on that.
