Join Andy Beane for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the exercise files, part of Maya: Advanced Modeling.
- [Instructor] If you have access to the exercise files, you can download the files from the exercise files tab on the main page for this course. Inside the exercise file folder, you'll see each chapter listed out, and within each chapter, you'll have the images as provided in the course, and if you're going to follow along with the actual Maya files, go to the Maya project, scenes, and chapter, and you'll see the corresponding Maya file per lesson.
One other thing I would like to say is that before you open any of the Maya files, please make sure you set the Maya project. Here in Maya, we're going to go to File, Set project, and migrate your way to the exercise files and choose the Maya project folder and choose Set. This will just ensure that all textures and all image planes will load correctly as you're following along with the lessons. If you don't have access to these exercise files, you can certainly follow along using your own files.
