MART 420 – 3D Animation and Modeling I

Fall 2008
Thursdays 6:30-9:20 p.m.

Instructor: Paul Naas

Homework assignment #1:

Create an arcing bounce similar to the one shown on the class handout. The ball should strike the ground at least three times on-camera and should bounce out of the shot at the end. Be sure to include squash and stretch at appropriate points in the bounce.

Render a playblast of your animation and submit it no later than the date on the main homework page at the beginning of class.

Be sure to set your Playblast options to save your animation (Window>Playblast>option box>Save To File) and pick a location in your project folder that's easy to remember.

The naming convention for your playblast is:

MART420yourlastname_proj1.qt

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions as you're working on your bounce.
