"GAUTAM VAID: Hi. This is Gautam Vaid. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to tell you about Maya 2008. Starting from curves, because we have to start from modeling, modeling point of view, we have to start. And there's the circle, circle tool. I have to make a circle, right? I'll just do it like this, pressing the left button on the mouse. And another thing, you should have a three-buttoned mouse with you to work for this software because two-buttoned mouse won't work. Fine. I'll make a rectangle also, like this. I'll make this tool where you can get the curve according to your point. If I want it there I can do this and I want it here, you can directly come onto this and here and like this. Press enter, this is done like this. If I want to make my G, I'll probably just click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, now, my G."
