The following tutorial series is directly from Module 1 of 3 of "Maya Foundation: Home-Study Course" tutorial course.
I've released this entire first Module completely free. It is focused on teaching you how to get started learning Maya completely from scratch in just 4 hours.
The full "Maya Foundation: Home Study Course" contains 3 Modules and 18+ hours of tutorials.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to start, save and open scenes in Maya.
To begin a new scene to work in go to File > New Scene:
There are 3 options for saving scenes.
First you need to save a scene so you can open it later. Go to File > Save Scene As and define a name:
All scenes should be saved into your scenes folder within Maya project directory.
Once you saved the scene, you can save anytime by going to File > Save:
You can also save increments of your scene. This will save the scene as new file save and assign a number to the file name. This allows to have additional version of the scene to be saved. To Increment and Save go to File > Increment and Save:
If you want to enable Auto Save go to Window > Setting/Preferences > Preferences > Settings: Files/Projects and enable AutoSave:
All auto-saved files will be placed inside autosave subfolder:
To open existing, saved scenes, go to File > Open Scene and continue working on it:
All auto-saved files will be placed inside "autosave" subfolder:
Opening scenes will navigate to a scenes folder inside Maya project directory. But you can navigate anywhere else if your scenes are stored elsewhere.
