Comcast Rules! (Can you smell the sarcasm?)

Well have not been on BuzzNet for almost 3 days now thanks to Comcast. Not sure what they did but they had to re-provision my account and it took three days to finally get someone on the phone who even had a clue that they worked in tech support. But not having access to see the next assignment it did allow me to delete all my animation and start anew.

So now I have sound, and a complete control rig for my little ball and was in the process of connecting transforms in the connection editor with the help of the handy little multiply/divide utility :) Gotta say that I love what I have learning so far and never thought I would be so comfortable in Maya. This class is that damn good! Anyway, I am back online now and will try and post a playblast of what I have done before I go to bed tonight, for now back to work.

Lessons learned.

Name everything right away! In creating the control rig I have three bend deformers, a squash deformer, and a twist deformer all hooked up to custom attributes on my tallentedBall. And when I started using the connection editor it was a nightmare trying to figure out which was which until I went back and renamed them.
