Week 5: Animating with the Graph Editor & Bouncing Ball Task

Session Review

Resuming my progress with Maya, the class and I simply learned how to make use of the graph editor in order to create a smoothie animation, I must say that the graph editor (figure a) allows more control over the 3d  object.

Furthermore, I prefer to use the graph editor injunction with the channel menu in order to adjust the potion of an object with mathematical precision and ease, Also, it was beneficial to refresh my mind on the human walk cycle since I had focused on 3d modelling for the past year and discontinued my progress of 3d animation in Maya.

However, I will need to continue to render more footage in mental ray in order for me to become more acquainted with the tool and making it easier for me to render high quality scenes for this modules final series of animations.
