Animated Boat Tutorial w/ Mayra (My Friend)

How to make an animated boat using MAYA

     This is a tutorial on how to animate objects like a boat

Step 1: On the top-right corner of the MAYA window, you should see something that say’s either Animation, Rendering, Dynamics, Surfaces, or Polygons. Click on that, and then switch it to Dynamics.

Step 2: At the top of your computer, not the MAYA window, there should be something that say’s “Fluid Effects.” Click on that.

Step 3: Find “Ocean,” then move your cursor over that.

Step 4: Click on “Create Ocean” to make your ocean on your MAYA Scene.

Step 5: Create an object.

Step 6: Select that object

Step 7: Go back to “Fluid Effects,” then “Ocean,” then click “Make Boats.”

Step 8: Near the bottom-right of the MAYA window, you should see a playback/play forward icons. These allow you to play animations (Animating is a whole different story). Click the arrow pointing to your right WITHOUT a line in front of it.
Step 9: Sit back and watch your object float like a boat (No rhyme intended).
