BSA326, Environment building in Vue and moving it into Maya, 2 March, 2017

Bullion- where we can add various items together to form one thing.
Create meta blob or hyper blob icon

The mountains look nicer in the other views.  The preview screen shows that they're actually quite blocky.
Final render
Whoa!  htat's so much better than I was expecting it to be.  It looks like my preview screen was close to accurate for the sky and the in progress screens were close to accurate for the shape of the mountain.  A happy surprise is the reveal of the little "pyramids" on the side of the mountain.  I'm going to pretend that they're ant hills or something.
Activate timeline:  click on arrow next to keyframe icon to left of timeline and choose to create keyframe at beginning and end of animation.  Rachel set the camera to move forward, and the cloud to move from left to right.  Upper left screen show that cloud can be set on curved trajectory after keyframing.  This looks pretty cool. 
In maya, windows and preferences, settings, plug in manager, click vue xstream, select loaded and auto loaded.
