Wk4 - Maya Learning Curve

So, I've been creating shapes for my manually created object/environment:

My idea is that this will look like it is
 taking in the mist.

The arch is featured a lot within the Mandelbox.
This animates up and down whilst spinning.



















I do have a few Maya topics/questions now:
  • Camera angle/focal length
  • Texture of surfaces
  • How to fix a shape, eg. my platform.
  • Mist/Fog generation
  • Mirrored surface to create infinity?
  • Can you have simple animation without keyframes?
