Object Placement Tut
again mate Im impressed. Small quick tut with enough info to get the gist of it. I actually pre-empted your selections and was getting them right 95% of the time. So the info from Rain was still in there!! LOL
Just watching these 2 has opened the door a little more, thanks mate.

A little bit of dynamics will take you a long way in a lot of areas of Maya.

Yeh mate it was fun and very interesting! LOL we are thinking along the same lines mate...a ball is my next one...something like a raquet ball animation?? that wouldnt be too hard but fun to do.
Or a pool ball (8 ball) with a cue would be a good little number to have a crack at.

The qball sounds like it would be fun, hitting into a group of other pool balls.

Might help get you started. Animation here https://www.simplymaya.com/daves/playblast.f4v Scene file here https://www.simplymaya.com/daves/ball_bounce.maOriginally posted by Rhetoric Camel
I'm working on my animation in the park with me and my dog, and I want to use dynamics when I throw the ball so it will have a more realistic bounce and roll when it hits the ground.
The qball sounds like it would be fun, hitting into a group of other pool balls.
May be of no use to you but it's real simple to do. The above is by no means perfect just a quick example to show you how easy it is if you've never done it b4
