Ball Rig

Last year a friend of mine came upon this site and found a great and very stable ball rig for 3ds max. You can either visit Bruce Lin's site to get the file or just download it here. Bruce mentions a Cuneyt Ozdas and says that he is the guy that came up with the script controlling the entire thing but doesen't link to him. The link directly to his tutorial can be found here.

At first it may seem like the ball rotation doesn't work after all, however it needs you to animate it as the script looks for where the ball was in the previous frame and where it is now and from that decides on how to rotate it. More details on how to use it can be found on Bruce Lin's site.

So check it out and have fun with it!
