Hey guys! Just thought i post one of my animations i did for school.
This is my first Maya animation done in Maya PLE 8.5.

Thanks to this little 12 second clip, i can hoestly say I would love to become an animator.

You can view the clip here, or download the playblast. I did a short summary of how i made the animation. More info in the site. Check it out!

good work!
there is a point where the rollercoaster just flips to the otherside of the rail.
also, i wouldnt slow or stop it when it's first going up the path or whatever it's called. that's just me.
keep it up.

Ya i did not focus on the roller coaster animation (see the description) I only focused on the chracter, I guss i shld have focused on both. Anyway we were suppose to use a motion path, so i was in fact animating the motion's path U value, and thats insanely difficult!
