This tutorial is amazing! I was struggling with understanding Maya while I'm first learning it, but this tutorial was really easy to understand and to follow! And having each step sort of explained, so I know what each thing does, was super helpful for any work I'll be doing in the future. Thanks so much!
By far the best instructor I've seen on here. You're so easy to follow and understand, and you explain everything as you go. Your tutorials have helped me so much!
Thanks for the endorsement Ashley. I'm glad I could help you. Don't forget to subscribe and share my videos if you think they could help other people you know.
I've used your tutorials a few times, and I really love the idea that there is someone who is willing to take their time to help others... You have earned a Subscriber... Have a nice day!!
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! My teacher forced us to subscribe to you today and I think that was the best desition! :p Awesome turorial, easy to follow up with you. :D
OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! Souns cool! I've never had a youtuber replying to me before, and I am studying in Sweden (The schools name is LBS, I think it is translated Sound and Picture school, it is like a school for those who wanna become a game Designer, Photograph, Programer and it goes on like that). I will try and remember to tell him that. xD
Hey man I really love your tutorials., like you make explaining things so simple and easy understanding in your videos and also showed my professor of your videos and recommends watching your stuff if I run into problems for animation. And keep up the good work =)
I can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner! I also struggled with understanding Maya for animation and now I can go back and rework my bouncing ball. We're also using the 2019 edition.
Thank you so much for this video tutorial, it was easy, interesting and useful! Please, please, make the tutorial about the ball rotation! It's extremely hard to do it in a proper way.
Congratulations on your success with UA-cam. I am a little confused with key framing. In the video you stretched the ball one frame before hitting the ground that was ok but you also instantly(on the impact frame) squashed the ball without it hitting the ground meaning between it hits the ground and is on the air it would squash a bit even though it hasn't hit the ground if my beginner's knowledge get it right this time so would it be ok to sqash the ball after a frame it has hit the ground? Please correct me if I am wrong. Once again congrats. Its long really :D
+Ayush Baral this is how I like to do it you can have 3 frames with the ball in contact with the ground with 1 of them being squashed but I'm not a fan of that method. I don't think it looks as snappy. This is just a guide. You're free to do whatever you feel looks best :)
Great video, finding your videos easy to follow along to and good quality too. I'm having a problem tho with the last part while extruding the edge from the cube. I press ctrl+E and then W to move it and it brings the whole bottom of the cube? any ideas? thanks.
thx a lot for the tutorial, but i have a question, sometimes when i press S entire maya UI changes to sculpting mode or something that removes all the timeline, keyframe UI and replace the sidebar to entire new one, is there any way other than deleting preference file and setting everything all over again?
Has anyone else had trouble selecting the rig ball with the pointer in the tutorial? Unlike with other objects in my Maya files, I can only select the rig ball with the outliner but still can seem to move it and I don't see the XYZ coordinates for it in the channel box. I even tried importing into another maya scene where I could select an object but still no luck.
Maybe for modeling some sort of character creation or for animation a walk cycle such things like that :) obviously there are tutorials on youtube but they have either bad sound quality or are way too long :)
I do have an exercise for a walk cycle that I want to make a video for. To be honest I have a bit of a blind spot with characters but I will research and create some character tutorials in the future.
This is just how I was taught. If you think motion trails is a better way to go I'd be interested to take a look any any tutorials you have found that make use of them.
I don't know if you're still around but I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial! However, I have a problem where Maya does not allow me to group the middle controller of the ball. It constantly says Objects with Read Only parents may not be grouped :( I can't find a solution anywhere, wondering if you have one!
Is there any way to change the materials for the ultimate ball rig not using the ball type function? E.g. just changing the color of it to blue. i've look up other tutorials where people change the colour of an object but i cant seem to select the ultimate ball rig the same way they select a regular object. Really great tutorial btw, it helped a ton. :)))
Very nice tutorial. However one question, I lost my selection on the group_mouvement, how can i select it back, since it is not a visible object it is kinda hard? I am very new in Maya and it confuses me. Thx for all ;-)
+raiderboy012 Unfortunately dude it really is necessary and if you're going to be animating in Maya you really need to get to grips with the graph editor. If you're struggling with animation maybe start here - ua-cam.com/video/A6X3N8ihnlM/v-deo.html
i don t know why when i press ctrl+G the program say "Error: line 0: Objects with Read Only parents may not be grouped" :/ how i can resolve this problem?
Any reason you can think of that when I switch to graph editor it's all triangular peaks going up and down rather than wavy like yours? My arches are pointy I mean rather than curvy. Thanks Hmm I guess I'll try from the start again=
U are amazing thank you very much u helped me a lot!! there is just this one thing, I did see my ball in Maya blurry all the way through the excersice. How do I make it clear?
Hi! Question: we did this, and then put it in a large box/room and coloured the walls green and the floor blue, and put a crate under the ball for the start BUT when we rendered it, the walls and the floor went kind of flickery...any idea what went wrong? When we look at the individual images, there are chunks of a taupe colour on the walls and floor. FANTASTIC tutorial, by the way!
+kalamitycargirl it sounds like a Z buffer problem. It is possible you have models on top of other models? Click on on of the flickering shapes and move it. If there's a copy of it left behind you've found your problem. If that isn't it I'd have to have a more detailed look
I can't download the Ultimate Ball rig, when I click the download button nothing happens. Says the user hosting that file has ran out of bandwidth. Any way you can upload it somewhere?
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! It's still not working, I'll jump over to another tutorial for now of yours. keep up the good work, really appreciate it.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! your tutorial really awesome but its still doesnt work , ı got same problem.Cant download uultimate rigg.
Cool tutorial, but what if we've got the ball with the black line, like this ua-cam.com/video/R5fFdM4M3EQ/v-deo.html than we have to rotate it when it's bounce off a wall, and we can't just put it into a group, because squash and stretch will look incorrect. How to animate that kind of a ball?
Great vid but WHYYY DID YOU START AT FRAME 1.!!! aggg it kills me.... all animations start at frame 0..... It kills me when i have to reset the timeline to 0 arggg are you crazy it must be frame zero...!!!

I have subscribed to your channel and liked your video.
Thank you so much for this video tutorial, it was easy, interesting and useful!

Best on youtube might be pushing it a bit! Thanks for the compliment though :)
omg! thanks thanks thanks!
thank you this tut saved my life (and my grade)
Thank you so much for this video. Very easy to follow along!
Thank you, but how do I assign CTRL_Top?
It's not understandable
Thanks..good learning, it would be even better if there was a pendulum animation tutorial
How do you scale the units of the grid in the graph editor? in case I want to measure my curves more accurately?
Very good explained and easy to follow! Subbed!

AverageScotGaming select edge mode. Make sure to select only one edged

Glad you liked it dude
Wow this tutorial made my mind very clear... 😊 thankew😘
This is very nice tutorial. Thanks man
You're welcome.

Thank you so mush gor this video ❤️

I would really like to see some intermediate tutorials from you in the future!;)
What sort of things do you have in mind?
Maybe for modeling some sort of character creation or for animation a walk cycle such things like that :) obviously there are tutorials on youtube but they have either bad sound quality or are way too long :)

+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! thank you very much!:)
Interesting tutorial, but how come you don't use Maya's motion trails?
This is just how I was taught. If you think motion trails is a better way to go I'd be interested to take a look any any tutorials you have found that make use of them.
I spend 16 hours just to understand this and failed. Thank you for stopping me doing a suicide attempt. Great work bro.
Glad I could help.

how can i get all others free rigg of cg meet up ?? i cant download their free stuffs
Very nice tutorial. However one question, I lost my selection on the group_mouvement, how can i select it back, since it is not a visible object it is kinda hard? I am very new in Maya and it confuses me. Thx for all ;-)
You should be able to select it in the perspective view
Select a controller on the ball and press the up key until you have the group selected
Appreciate the tutorial, beginning to understand more. How can I render this into a .gif or other movie format?
ua-cam.com/video/bItMuXdiMFQ/v-deo.html
Why does rolling and stretch and squash not work simultaneously? And is there a way to make this work?
Friendly question here : Is the graph editor really necessary I'm finding it quiet difficult to follow along

bro how do i find the movement group
i don t know why when i press ctrl+G the program say "Error: line 0: Objects with Read Only parents may not be grouped" :/ how i can resolve this problem?
I don't know. I've never seen that error
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! ok, np thank you anyway :D
@@GameDevAcademy i have the exact same problem
Any reason you can think of that when I switch to graph editor it's all triangular peaks going up and down rather than wavy like yours? My arches are pointy I mean rather than curvy. Thanks Hmm I guess I'll try from the start again=
+DanimalLawlz Probably linear Tangents. Change to spline
U are amazing thank you very much u helped me a lot!!
there is just this one thing, I did see my ball in Maya blurry all the way through the excersice. How do I make it clear?
+велимирА кр. it fixed by itself, thank you one more time U ARE AN AWESOME TUTOR
Hmm. I'm not sure, I haven't seen this issue.
I'm glad you sorted. And thanks for the kind comments.
thank you man

+kalamitycargirl I'm not sure without seeing the file I'm afraid
+kalamitycargirl flickery surfaces usually indicates a Z buffer issue. Is it possible that you had 2 faces on top of each other?
You are a GOD!!!
That's what I keep telling people!
SUPER Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know if www.cgmeetup.net is having issues to download the files? I want to do this exercise but can't download the ball :)
thx for the tutorial sir.
Sir, what about the ball's rotation during bouncing ... ???
Not covered in this tutorial. The rig isn't really set up for it.
@@GameDevAcademy Then What should I do in this case ... ???
Hi. What software are you using to record the tutorial?
+Bryan St Marin I used Camtasia for this. I have used Cam Studio in the past though. It's good for free
i cant download it wont let me
I can't download the Ultimate Ball rig, when I click the download button nothing happens. Says the user hosting that file has ran out of bandwidth. Any way you can upload it somewhere?
Keep trying? It worked for me yesterday.
If you don't have any luck I'll post it somewhere in the morning.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! It's still not working, I'll jump over to another tutorial for now of yours. keep up the good work, really appreciate it.
I've just made the rig available via another link. Sorry it's taken a while. You can find the link in the video description. Hope this helps.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! your tutorial really awesome but its still doesnt work , ı got same problem.Cant download uultimate rigg.
thankk uuu!!!
Cool tutorial, but what if we've got the ball with the black line, like this ua-cam.com/video/R5fFdM4M3EQ/v-deo.html than we have to rotate it when it's bounce off a wall, and we can't just put it into a group, because squash and stretch will look incorrect. How to animate that kind of a ball?
This is why I didn't use the line. You can't do it with this ball. You'd need to make a different rig.
what do you mean by different rig?
Great vid but WHYYY DID YOU START AT FRAME 1.!!! aggg it kills me.... all animations start at frame 0..... It kills me when i have to reset the timeline to 0 arggg are you crazy it must be frame zero...!!!
Dope!
my teacher did not use the squash and stretch for the ball bounce
+The Enchantress :( you don't always have to use squash and stretch. I like it though.
great vid shit sound had my pc all the way up and can still barely hear you
I think that's a problem at your end. The audio is fine for me.
😎
nice video.like from me
Imma exaggerate da frick outta this ball XD
This guy is my tutor and he doesn't know what he's talking about XD
Is there a way to scale the ball?
How do I select again the group I made with the top of the ball?
+Alex Tejada use the outliner
the top control doesnt work in maya 2016 ??? how could i fix it ?
Really? It's working fine for me. I'm not sure what to suggest.
thank you . if you get idea for that please tell me ...
