1st BnT in Maya (render test)

This small clip was really just a render test. However for my animation im gonna have two cameras and this clip would be for the 1st one.

MORE SCREENSHOTS! TRY OUTS WITH THE TAIL!

OK i have taken more screenshots but there was a stage were i was having trouble with the tail.

(Looking at the image above and below) What trouble i had with the tail was i wanted to lay it flat on the ground next to the tail. I wanted to create a relaxed position for my ball as it moved quickly in the previous fames. I was worried that i had broken the tail because the tail was no longer inside the rings. This was also another issue i had with other parts of the animation cause i wanted to make the tail do certain things ( creat esquirrel sitting. position http://zardoz67.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/squirrel.jpg) but unforantely it wasnt allow me to do so.

This screenshot is more a birds eye view. Also shows some of my graph editor

Here is another renderd screenshot

Ball across the screen (no tail)

OK!!! i should of uploaded this 1st but heck

Before i started my Ball and tail in Maya, i done a very short animation of a ball moving across a screen with a tail. I used a simple flat plane for my background and added a small amount of light so the scene wasnt to dark.
