Subject: QUIZ on WEDNESDAY, September 30th, Assignment due October 5th...

Hi Maya students,

     The quiz on Wednesday will cover the 3DBuzz.com CURTAIN videos and the
handouts on those two videos (pages AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, and EEE) from 
Wednesday, September 23rd:

     Creating a Curtain
     Duplicating Curtains
                          http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/m/curtains.html

     If you watch those two videos as well as study the AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD
and EEE pages of the handout, you will be well prepared for the CURTAINS
quiz questions.

     There may be a few other questions on the quiz covering general
Maya concepts, terms or skills that you have seen quite a bit before.

Your next assignment is posted on the web page since last Friday.  It 
requires that you read and do the following online tutorial to learn how 
to use the SCULPT GEOMETRY TOOL.
