The single ball.

Unfortunately, this is my 3rd attempt at the bouncing ball. The first was lost when my laptop had Maya issues which till now I could not solve. The second one was erased within the school system. This is my third attempt hence it's appearance and its well thought out timing. Without further ado:

3 bouncing balls

Backtracking, here is my 3 bouncing balls which i have done guided and based upon my friend's work. I originally had little issue with my balls till i stumbled upon the timing and the force issues where it did not drop properly. After asking my friend to guide me every step pf the way, I ended up with this.

All in all, I learned the importance of timing and that one must be meticulous in handling the timing.

Crane Animation

It started out with a crane and a box. And this this what happened.

part 2:

The last part of the animation

What was really complicated and fun to use was the parent constraint that tripped me up many a time. I quickly learned after redoing my project once that you had to keep checking to make sure that it was placed properly. Another issue that I faced at was the smoothness of the timing due to the readjustment of a few new actions that I included in my animation. All in all, I learned much from this assignment most of which would be gauging the various timings for the emotions that i wanted my crane to have. It was a really fun and challenging assignment.

Animation for the crane (Draft)

This is the latest project that i have for the crane. I was supposed to make the crane 'perform' certain actions. most of them are listed in the draft as shown below.

For some of the more obvious timings in the animation, clear instructions have been decided and written in the panels. As this is my draft my original was fitted towards it but has minor timing issues as seen fit at that time.
