He used a program called 3ds Max. (it's not software for amateurs. and it costs about $3500.00.) BTW, really nice job on this one. Did you use path follow for the ball throughout the entire scene?

thanks!

i only used the path deformation modifier on the ropes. i tried using it on the ball, but it kept warping the ball, so i just had to do it all a couple frames at a time.

good job, especially on the models. how long did it take for you to create this?

[bfaulk04]

thanks! i'm really more of a modeller than an animator so this took quite a while to get all the animation finished. i'd say, in total, probably 20 hours over the course of about 3 days from start to finish.

extremely good and it must have taken a while but one thing i found kinda funny was that it denied the laws and gravity and didn't follow proper physics... still a very good job for just an intro in the class

[nuke14u]

the law of gravity and inertia is angry at you

[UtU133]

lol got 1 thing to say, defiying the laws of gravity much

(i dont think i spelt this ^^^^ word right

0:18 is way too unrealistic, you could've done better

[Headrusher001]

the small marble at :16, that is impossible for that to happen, but 4/5 is what ya get.
