MAYA Resources:

    PDF beginers booklet - Introduction to MAYA and MEL (Maya Embeded Language)
    Was written for Maya 6.0, but is still valid as a basic modelling and scripting tutorial.

SCRIPTING DEMONSTRATION FILES (as shown in the friday session of the DTS)
    Create simple NURBS cube
    Create and transform a simple NURBS cube
    Copy and move simple NURBS cubes
    Randomized NURBS cube tower
    Create and MANIPULATE a simple NURBS PLANE
    MANIPULATE a NURBS plane as a MATRIX of control points
    Ornamental patterns on a NURBS plane
    Subdivide a NURBS plane and manipulate each sub-component
    PROCEDURE - script a small program to run whenever called
    Simple PARAMETRIC generation - the multisided table script
    Parametric fabrication - creating milling path - spiralling rectagle - "block cut"

If you have Maya installed - open the script editor, copy-paste the script and "cntrl-ENTER" to run it.

    Naughty's MEL Scripts
- Source for sample scripts and some interesting objects targeted towards game design

VRML Viewer plugin for internet browsers (PC & MAC):
There are many VRML viewer available on-line as free downloads, almost all run as a plug-in for your web-browser (iExplorer or Mozilla). Download and install the plug-in. Save your model as .wrl or VRML output - then double click the file and it will open in the viewer. If you have texture mapped images or materials into your model, then also ensure you have saved the .wrl file into THE SAME folder as your texture images.
