September 24th, 2018. Program: Maya

Work Notes:

Stuff Done:
-trying to find the zoom function as well as learn or of the commands
-I got rid of all the panels and looked through the file, edit, create, and select areas of the menu











-found a bunch of shortcuts
-the create area has...
            -access to multiple auto generated shapes


            -an option for poly model text creation
            -also measuring tools

-some buttons will have boxes next to them, which when clicked allow you to access more settings
Problems:
-I still haven't found the zoom function
-I haven't been able to attach new panels to the work space
-there were lots of buttons that I couldn't figure out

Solutions:
-explore more and experiment
-look online
