This module introduces students to the foundational practices of organizing and preparing a 3D interior scene in Autodesk Maya for texturing workflows. Learners will start by understanding how to categorize and manage assets through efficient layer structuring. Then, they will move into the initial stages of shader assignment, texture mapping, and UV correction, focusing on common furniture objects such as sofas, tables, and cabinets. The module emphasizes clarity in scene organization, hands-on familiarity with Hypershade, and the application of surface materials to achieve visual realism.
