Starting Maya: Blocking in the Set

Blocking in the set with simple shapes

I first had to go to the project files and unzip the scenes folder so I could access the camera view the tutor had already set up. I then created a polygon and set the width to 40 ft and the height to 30 ft.

I created a cube polygon and set the width to 14, the height to 11 and the depth to 9. I duplicated the cube using ctrl+D. I then selected top vertices of the duplicate and pulled them up to make the box higher. I duplicated that box as well and tried to move it as equal a distance as possible away from the center line as the other tall cube. I adjusted the third boxes height to make it slightly lower than the second cube. I duplicated the third cube and then made it shorter and slightly wider.
