This document discusses animating a bouncing ball in 3ds Max 2015. It covers keyframing the ball's position at different frames, using pivot points, and blocking out the initial animation. It also discusses using the curve editor to refine the animation by adding squash and stretch, forward movement, and roll through adjusting curve timing and values. The chapter aims to teach animating a bouncing ball and refining the animation.

- 3. Bouncing a Ball •Keyframing – setting positions and values at particular frames of the animation • Pivot Points • Blocking out the animation • Adding weight to the ball – Squash and Stretch 3
- 4. Track Editor –Curve Editor • Curve Editor shows the animation of the object as a graph of value to time • The shape of the curves dictate the motion of the object • Parameter Curve Out of Range Types allow you to repeat a cycle 4 Bouncing a Ball
- 5. Refining the Animation •Adding Squash and Stretch using transforms tools • Adding forward movement along the X axis and refining that in the Curve editor. • Give the ball some roll, use the X-form modifier to deal with rotation issues. • You adjust the timings and values of the curve to fine tune your animation 5 Bouncing a Ball
