Grabbing and Releasing Objects the Easy Way

One of the trickier hitches with animating in maya is dynamic parenting, aka space switching. Constraints go a long way but without the know-how it can be very frustrating to animate the passing of objects from one space to another. While there are some great tools for speeding up workflow and easing the pain of space switching (see Hamish McKenzie's zooToolbox or John Doublestein's JTDdynParentUI) if you just need to switch spaces from one object to the world it's fairly easy with the standard maya toolset. We'll start with a pre-existing scene of an animated scooper and by the end it will pick up a ball and release it into the air in a few easy steps.

Modeling a Stair Case

When I was looking for a starting point of a scene, I realized that the staircase is one object which is repeating and is also easy to model. So, I start with the same. Making the stair is dam easy. It is just making polygon objects and placing them at right places. I first create a rough (actually it is much worse than rough, but work for me.) sketch of the stairs on a paper, so that when I model the basic structure, I don’t have to think too much. When you need to add details, you can do that later on.
