Open the scene for the lesson |
In this lesson, you work with a scene we created for your use. In the first steps of this lesson, you open the scene and view the various elements that have been created for your use.
- Make sure you’ve done the steps in Preparing for the lessons.
- Open the scene named
IK_MechArm.mb.
You can open the scene named IK_MechArm.mb from the Maya DVD or from the drive where you copied the Getting Started files.
The scene contains a model of a mechanical arm and a cargo box to be moved by the arm. The components of the mechanical arm include:
- A cargo magnet cup on the end
- Three arm segments
- A base for the arm to swivel about
- A four-legged base for the assembly
To work with this model using IK you must create a hierarchy for it.
