You need to get your key from Autodesk. • Watch the Maya “Essential Skills Movies” (Help->Learning Movies) • Open the videos with QuickTime to hear the correct audio (English, not Chinese) and see the English subtitles. • (Optional) Also watch the movies here: • http://www.digitaltutors.com/11/training.php?pid=512&autoplay=1
TODO: Homework 2 (continued) • Create a Unity project • Create a texture image in an image editing software like Gimp. It could even be your photograph. Save it inside the Assets folder of your Unity project. • Create a textured model in Maya. Assign the texture that you created to the “color” property of the material. Save it inside the Assets folder of your Unity project. • Use the third-person controller to create a game in Unity • Use the model you created in Maya • Place them on a terrain • Collect them (they disappear when you walk over them)
