Finished animations

After the research that i did in my group and externally through youtube i went onto maya and created the ball bounce animations.



This was as interesting experience for me as i have attempted to animate human rigs before and yet although they weren't brilliant, i found the ball animations harder in a sense of timing and trying to make the balls bouncing motion look fluid and natural. This appeared to be quite difficult even once applying the 'curve' function in the animation graph editor, and performing various tweaks during the animations.


Below are my finished animation AVI's.
