Class 3 Theme 1 Completed

Finally finished my final version for theme 1 (tennis serve) assignment. Turned out ok. It has a few rough patches that if time permits I would like to go back in and fix. The main problem was all the Gimbal lock issues I had. The definition of gimbal lock can be found here. What it means to me in this case. All loss of control over the arms.  It is a but that has to be dealt with in cg. You have to go in to every frame and re-position the arms to where the need to be. Sounds easy but it can be labor intensive. With that said I spent a lot of time correcting this problem rather than polishing it up. Part of this problem is I waited too long to go into spline mode. A lesson learned for the next assignment.

Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
