Session 11- Maya

I think Maya is a great piece f software and i hope to be able to go further with it in future.

In class I was able to Create a bouncing ball. I did this by setting key frames on a time line of 200 frames. A 3rd of the way through the time line I placed the full height it should reach in the sequence. Another third in I out the ball on the 'floor' and I also manipulated the shape so it looked squashed. Then at the end of the time line I had the ball be the same size and shape as at the beginning. I think the effect was for a first time quite a good one.

I also created a rolling cube using the technique of moving the objects a specific key frames. I then gave it a marble surface.

I also played with some of the different textures you can create I used some of the different fur options on a basic sphere to see what they'd look like. It was interesting finding out about the different textures are created on 3d modelling.

All in all I think from this session I have taken away a basic of understanding of what the software can do and what it can be used for.
