- If you have access to the exercise files that accompany this course and want to follow along, go ahead and download those now. I want you to place the exercise files folder on your desktop, and within that folder we have one folder per chapter. Now, each folder is what we call a Maya project. So, at the beginning of each chapter, set your project to the appropriate chapter and that way everything will link up and you can follow along.
