Exercise 3.2 Applying a Reflection to a Surface
You may sometimes have a project that requires you to use a building, vehicle, machine,
toilet, or something completely different from what you??™re used to working with. This
could be an object that you??™ve created yourself, purchased, or downloaded from public
archives on the Internet. Follow these steps to apply a simple reflection to a surface:
1. Be sure to save any work you??™ve completed thus far. Start Layout, or if it??™s already
running, choose File > Clear Scene.
2. From the DVD that accompanies
this book, load the Basic scene from
the Chapter 3 projects folder in
\Projects\Scenes\CH3\. To load the
scene, go to the Items tab, and then
on the left side of the interface, click
the Scene button under the Load
category, as in Figure 3.22.
Here??™s a very handy tip: You can hide
all the toolbars and menus in Layout
and work with just the keyboard and
mouse. Press d on the keyboard to
access the Display Options tab of
the Preferences panel. Select Hide
Toolbar (see Figure 3.23). Now when in Layout, you can
access the Surface Editor (or any other panel) by Ctrl+Shift
+clicking in the Layout window (using either the left or right
mouse button).
