Week 11 Part 1 (E-learning)

Through this e-learning part 1 lab exercise, I learnt more on how to do animations on Maya. The animation of this bouncing ball became smoother than my previous exercise with the help of the graph editor and tutorial provided. Through controlling the tangents of the key points, I was able to make my ball bounce more realistically in terms of elasticity and the 'gravity' acting on the ball.

At this part, the graph editor and smoothness of the bouncing ball is almost done except for some part where the gradients of the Translate X and Y have to be edited before running the animation. The static channel and others have yet to be deleted to make Maya run the animation run more smoothly.
