9/3 & 9/4 Temple!

Today students learned how to find their written tutorials on the Maya website and began building their first project from the tutorials: The Temple.  Students followed along in class with me to learn how to read the directions more easily. 

Tips:  Think about anything with a number as a task and everything that is in bold as a click.  If you come to bold words with a > sign in between, that means it is a series of clicks.

For instance:

        1. Go to your main menu
        2.  Click  Create > Polygon Primitives > Sphere

In number 1 they were telling you where to go to find number two and in number two they want you to click on Create first, then polygon primitives, and then sphere. 

We as a class will build our temple bases together and then students will be reading the directions on their own, at their own pace to complete the temple directions.

Tip for completion:  ALWAYS FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.  It is 100 times easier to follow the instructions AND then numbers they give you rather than trying to put this whole temple together by guessing!  Students grades will be based on correct completion with specific numbers used from the given instructions.
