Animating Objects

During this tutorial, we learnt the very basics of creating an animation in 3D Studio. Above you can see some bouncing balls, created by manipulating the timeline through Set Key, adjusting the curve editor to add a sense of realism to how the balls fall (adding a sense of gravity) and also by editing the dope sheet and ranges to make the balls bounce separately from one another different start points) and at different speeds/durations.

I found this tutorial very interesting and impressed at the effect that can acheived after adding only a slight amount of animation. I know the animation above is very primitive, however it has shown me that any object can 'come alive' with just a simple application of movement.

I look forward to generating animations on my 3 models can't wait to have a play around and see what effects I can acheive.
