I want to share with you a rig I did a while ago. This is the Luxo Jr from Pixar. The 3d model is free and can be downloaded from Hum3D.com. Also the scene is free to use as you want. Happy animating! :)
Download the file from here.
NOTE: scene can be opened from max 2016 and above.
Also in this video tutorial i'll show how I did create this rig. This is not a step-by-step video tutorial so some basics of knowledge of 3ds MAX is needed.
Check the video below:
Free Scalable / Squash and Stretch / Bouncing Ball Rig for 3Ds Max
Being inspired by Animation Mentor, I've decided to create a 3ds max ball rig. This can be useful in the trial period of learning animation in max.
Also, the ball has an optional tail. Have fun!
