Hi,
I am new to Maya. I would like to do a short animation showing the connection details of a historic bridge. I imported the 3D model of the bridge from AutoCAD. ...so far so good. The bridge is 130' long. The model dwarfs the grid plane. Should I resize the bridge to be smaller? I'd like to know the scale of objects in case I import other models from AutoCAD. I could scale everything I bring in to, say, 10%.
My goal is to have an animation that zooms into a bridge connection and then all the parts "explode" and then go back together. Lots of tutorials in my future.
Thanks for any help!
