5-10-2022 UI and basic workflows
We had a few introductions to the course. I met everyone in the class and had my first class about Maya. Friendred told us about the arrangement of our course. Nick gave us an introduction from polygon modelling to basic animating. Since before the class I only learned a bit basic about modelling in Maya, I was excited to learn the animation interface. The comprehensive teaching gave me a lot of insight as a Maya beginner.

6-10-2022 Introduction and reference: bouncing ball
I was sick on Thursday, so I didn’t go to uni. I watched the recording of the class on Thursday. I learned a bit more general knowledge of fundamental animation rules, which was nice since I didn’t come from an animation background. I’m really looking forward to the rest of this course.
My weekly assignment is the bouncing ball animation. George briefly went through the bouncing ball animation during class. After class, I did the bouncing ball assignment myself as practice.
Week 2 update:
On Thursday I went to uni and show George my bouncing ball animation. George pointed out the problem with my animation as shown on the note. I improved my animation according to his advice after I got home.
