New Free Tutorial
http://simply3dworld.com/movie_pages...tml?tut_id=183
This tutorial takes you through the process of using Maya's rigid and passive bodies to quickly place multiple objects into your scene. A very handy technique, that could potentially save you hours of work. This tutorial is done in Maya 2011 but you can follow along in practically any version of Maya.
This tutorial is free to all members
