Maya Ball Bounce Project Final
In Animation, we worked on following along with a tutorial in order to make a ball bounce in Maya. We used a premade ball with different transformers already on it.

So far, my favorite combination of deformers would have to be Twist and Sine together, because it creates a …
Maya Ball Bounce Daily Post
Today in Animation, I continued working on the ball bounce animation in Maya. I only had a little left to do, but it didn’t go to plan. In the Graph Editor window, I could not move the handles of the tangent lines inward or outward, making it to where I could only rotate them. I …

By moving to a different computer, the problem with opening …
