Getting ready for classes!
In preparation of classes starting next week I figured I should start hitting Maya heavily again. Since the majority of class 1 is fundamental stuff I started working on bouncing balls. Below is the result.
Hey man, nice start :) What you should pay attention to is that differences between the bounces need to be bigger, and the ball should should come to a stop with an ease. Extend the frame count to a 100, and let the ball roll until 96ish. Keep it up!
The height difference on your graph editor needs to decrease more from bounce to bounce than it does now :) Also, it's always better to upload something to your dropbox account in quicktime format, so people can frame-by-frame your shots - much easier to give advice that way!

Thx! By bounces need to be bigger do you mean spacing wise or height? I'll fix it and repost it in a bit. Thx again!

Ah got it! Thx! Yeah I have Dropbox but didn't think to post it on here that way. I'll post my obstacle course that way.
