Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

iam too too sure what you mean? is it that you want to change the background color from the default gray into i.e. blue. go to window > settings prefferences > colors...
there are 3 menus. general, active and inactive. in the general tab go through the options. you should come to "background". then ajust the color that you want.

i think the problem is that you hit the 7 key. this displays how much light you have in your scene. so your work area turned black because you have no lights. press 5 or something to change back to normal.

hope that helped. user added image

about hitting the 7 key. that only makes the objects in your scene turn black (if you have no lights). not the whole work area.

iam glad i could help. user added image
