I bought a new text book today to help me further my knowledge of 3D Studio Max. The book is 3ds Max 9 Essentials by Focal Press. So far, I have learned more in one day then in five years of use. That's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing. :) Today, I mainly focused on the animation section of the book. It consists of over 100 pages of information, 30 of which I have read. So far, I have been learning about the Curve Editor and track view in 3ds max. By using the trajectory function on the object, I was able to effective edit the trajectory line of the animation.

Here is a short animation of what I have learned. It is a a basketball going through a hoop and bouncing on the ground.
