This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

How to delete gravity?
So I selected the surface of the desk and assigned a passive rigid body. Then I selected the objects and assigned gravity to them. Then I created a keyframe on fr70 (when most of the objects stopped moving) and copy and pasted to the frame to frame one. Then went to the hierarchy editor and deleted the animation pegs. Problem solved!
Until today.. I tried to move some of the objects and I can't. In the channel editor Translate & Rotate info is colored green and Scale, Visibility & Blend Rigid Body is colored red. I know this has something to do with the gravity.. how can I remove it to be able to manipulate the object as before?
Also in my attribute editor for those meshes I have rigidBody,pariBlend,RigidSolver,PairBlend nods.
Thanks!

@stwert: Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about the align tool - had to google it. It won't work in my case (the surface isn't flat), but I'll probably use it in the future - I used vector snapping to align things, but this might be faster

Newton would smack you.Well that is easy. You just make the universal gravitational constant (G) zero.
