So in this beginners video I will show you a simple way to get started with your animation . Keep in mind that this is technically a simulation but hey, it’s fun

  1. Hi,
    I wanted to ask if you have made any Maya 2015 tutorial video on how to create a simple merry-go-around video. My school is teaching Maya and the teacher want us to make a simple merry-go-around animation.

  2. Hello, I have seen your video and it is great, it helped a lot!
    However can you explain me how to export that thing? I watched couple of other tutorials but it just doesn't work at all.
    I have 200 frames and it is bascially a charcater and a camera spinning around it.
    How can I export it? Also do you have any idea why do I get a blue screen once I try to render an image with mental ray?

    Thank you so much beforehand!

  3. It didnt work on my project, both of the sphere and the cubes drop together. Can you pls help me what to do? thanks a lot its just urgent because i need to pass this project this week

  4. This is not animation. This is adding some primitives into a scene then pressing play with physics doing the work. Why didn't you just drag a cube into the scene – key the frame – move the cube a few meters and then key a new frame?
