today i learnt how to animate using 3D max , amimation on 3Dmax is done by moving a key frame on a time line and then moving an object light or camera, almost every single thing you creat on 3D max can be animated. below is a simple video render i did of a basket ball bouncing and a camera moving.
I aplyed this texture to my ball to make it look like a basketball.
To improve my animation i would have a spot light to create shadows on the ball and i would also add a squeeze to my ball when it hits the ground this will make the animation look more realistic, by adding real world physics.
