Bouncing Ball

The bouncing ball tutorial is pretty much the standard Maya Tutorial. This tutorial is from the Learning Maya textbook. It helped me get comfortable with all of the basic tools in Maya. It also helped me learn more about texturing/shading, lighting, and rendering. Another useful feature of Maya that this tutorial introduced was particle emitters, specifically fire in this case. This tutorial serves as a good introduction to Maya.
