3D Practice: Bouncing Ball


Maya is a difficult program. New animators, enter at your own risk.

Don't get me wrong, once you know all the controls and methods you'll be able to do it! Just be prepared for the amount of information you have to cram into your head.

The first 3D exercise I had to do was a bouncing ball (of course). Since this is the first time EVER that I used any kind of CG program, the bouncing ball took me a long time to do. In the end, it's not perfect, due to the ball bouncing and stopping too smoothly (bouncy balls go everywhere), but it at least looks like a bouncing ball! The anticipation as it goes up and down is well done and the bounces are nice and quick.
