Bouncing Balls And Balloon

sara2006 · 17-06-2012, 01:22 PM

Hi,
This is my first bouncing balls and balloon animation.
From this animation i have learned timing, spacing, arcs, weight, ease in and out, path of action and a little physics.
i also learned that editing the splines with tangents is not way to add breakdowns and anticipations and easing. because it changes the path of action also.
hence i have added breakdowns and easing by adding new keys and editing its values.
i have not added squash and stretch to any balls and balloon since it will be not seen right with this layout.
Please watch and comment on it.
Thanks in advance for commenting.

the walk cycle looks pretty good although the passing pose she may b a little high coz looks like her foot on the ground rises up a little... and her foot slides side to side when its on the ground...
i think the second ball being lighter beach ball comes down too fast... the blue ball looks bouncy in the 1st 4 bounces and then suddenly reduces exponentially... the heavy grey ball rolls too much for how much it moves, u can either reduce the rotation or increase the translation...the balloon i wud say just the last part...
hope this helps

Hi Red_Koala,
This is the second pass of the animation. Please watch and comment. i have made all the changes you have said. i have made a subtle changes in the balloon also. but i cant understand what you have said for it.

the grey ball looks better... the blue ball will need its keys towards the end to b spread out coz the bounces are really fast... beach ball can be corrected in the graph editor, the hold on top needs to be splined... the balloon just needs to have more of an ease in towards to end...
i think in general you need to work with ur graph editor...

Hi Red koala
Thanks a lot for pointing me the mistakes. i have made all the changes you have said. with the blue ball, as per the physics for all the falling objects, the horizontal spacing must be uniform. so i have not increased the spacing. but with animation rules may be broken. so i changed it as you said to look nice and right. please reply to my bouncing ball obstacle animation too. once again thanks.

Hi,
i THINK THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE BALOON ANIMATION AND AND THE BLUE COLOR SMALL BALL WHILE GOING TO STOP ,ITS INCREASING ITS SPEED.tHAT LOOKS LITTLE JURKY...OTHERT WISE GREAT EFFORT AS FIRST BALL BOUNCING ANIMATION.

Thank you
