Join Andy Beane for an in-depth discussion in this video Set dressing, part of Maya: Advanced Modeling.
- [Instructor] So, the last thing that we need to do…is to dress our set,…and what that means is to actually take…all of these models and put them in the position…in the overall set, so that we have our completed project.…So, we will start here in 06_03_Start,…and we're going to come over to our outliner…and just start moving the objects around.…Now, we grouped these objects together,…so we'll start with our bookshelf here,…and we can just slide this back,…and we're going to use multiple cameras here,…and we'll just real quickly get this into position.…
Just right against that back wall,…right there will be perfect.…And you can go into wire frame…to help you with this.…Let's grab our chair, and I'm going to hold down X,…which is grid snapping, and snap that…right there to the floor.…And we can just kind of position this.…We're using this image over here…that I have in the exercise files,…as kind of just a base start…that we're going to loosely…create our project to look like.…
So, let's rotate our chair over here.…
