JRA - Bouncing Ball Tutorial

Hello,
Here is a piece of work I created when following the first tutorial in the Character Animation on-line course by Jason Ryan. Here we are taught how to animate a bouncing ball. Starting off in a really cool program called DigiCel Flipbook, we draw images of the ball at various stages of bouncing, first creating the key poses and then inserting frames to do the timing and finally drawing the inbetweens ensuring we have slow ins and slow outs. The second half of the tutorial goes on to add secondary motion to the ball, two pig tails are added and are drawn in at each frame demonstrating drag and weight. The second tutorial takes the hand drawn images into Maya were we use them as reference for animating a sphere bouncing. Attached is a movie containing the hand drawn images and the animated sphere in Maya.

Please take a look and leave a comment. thanks Andrew

Camera Tracking Test

Hello,

Here is a test of a camera match solve I did with some skateboard footage from a Camera Matching course created by Escape Studios. Footage was matched in PFTrack and basic geometry created and rendered with Maya, movie file produced with Combustion.

I will work on adding the jumping lamp to the footage soon.

Rustic Scene

Hi Everyone,

Here is a short animation of a Rustic Scene from a tutorial in the Escape Studios Maya Core training course.

Everything apart from the chair was modelled, textured and animated by me. Hope the quality is ok as this is my first post :-)
