This was the first real start into 3D animation so we started with the simple bouncy ball, much like when we started covering 2D animation. We kept it quite simple initially, with having a bouncy ball jump into the frame and hit a wall before bouncing back. This exercise was not too difficult to follow and I managed to get the initial movement of the ball hitting against the wall. Unfortunately, this is where I ran into a problem. Maya suddenly stopped working and would not open properly. I was working from home at this time, as there was a strike and so it was hard for me to get my laptop back up and running for using Maya for about a week. This was quite stressful so I began to panic a little about the animation, however after attempting the exercise’s using the school computers (and the 2020 version of Maya once I was able to get it installed on my laptop) I was able to start learning properly about the processes of 3D animation.
