This is a small showing of what I did for my final animation. Since it's a lot of moving, tweaking, and changing key frames, there isn't a whole lot screenshots can show.
This is the rig I'm using, and you can see all the keyframes I have thus far.
This is the shading network for a mahogany wood I used as the stage floor. I'm including it because I think it looks great, as you can see below.
Here's a cube of wood using the same texture as above.
This video shows the animation in action.
I found after doing this project, I enjoyed animation much more than I thought I would! It's engaging and fun to tweak until its as good as you can make it.
