First Maya Animation

This is my first attempt at animation in Maya. It went pretty well, although it gets easy to misplace objects. Below is a different view showing how I actually screwed up the first bounce with first the angle and then moving on the z-plane incorrectly. That took me forever and a day to figure out lol.




I had kind of a rough time adjusting keyframes, but finally got it together. I kind of feel the rendering process out of Maya is crazy (really, can't go directly to an .mov or .avi??) but AE easily deals with it of course. Now if I could only manage to make a model that looked half decent...
