FREE Ball Animation Rig for Maya

When first learning animation and specifically character animation we need to learn the basic principles of timing, weight, squash and stretch etc. One of the best ways is to animate a bouncing ball. So I have created a versatile ball animation rig for using in Autodesk Maya.

This ball rig has all the controls you need to make a believable animation complete with squash and stretch capabilities and also featuring movable and rotatable pivots.

It even comes equipped with variety of different ball types you can switch between, from a soccer ball, basketball, beach ball and more.

Watch the tutorial on how to use this rig here:  👉  https://youtu.be/RWxsryXXCEM

And there are two tutorials on where I walk you through how to create two bounce animations.

👉 1)  LESSON 01 - Simple bounce:  https://youtu.be/hNUW7mLHr2A

👉 2)  LESSON 02 - Advanced bounce along:  https://youtu.be/YHQCLSrOC1E ;
