Maya

i have wanted to learn 3D animation software for a long time now and have finally got the opportunity to take part in a Maya workshop, in the first week we got to grips with the controls, something which i am finding to be quite challenging. iv never struggled with a software command system so much, but i am sure i will pick it up over time.
This is a truck, it was the 1st thing i built on maya. the construction took part in the 1st session and i animated it moving along the path in the 2nd.

In the 2nd session i was also shown how to map the movement of an object on the "graph sheet" a line graph which can change the movements of an object on the timeline, changing the curve of the line at the arc of its bonce to be flat and the point of impact to be straight pointed gave the movement of bouncing balls. The green ball i applied a 'squish' movement to replicate the elasticity of a rubber ball.
