The second bouncing ball exercise incorporates elements of weight into it. Based on the timing and the variation of the bounces when dropped from the same height, there is an automatic impression of different weights and materials in each ball. The heavier one could be made of concrete and the one that bounces could be made of a much lighter substance. The timing in this playblast could be better as some aspects of it look rigid and not as smooth as I had hoped. The bounce and rotations that the force of the impact creates is interesting though. Based on an already rigged ball, i added the bounces and timing in order to better portray the level of motion, speed and impact and in turn add to a better understanding of object weight. This was an interesting exercise as it allowed me to work with the tangents in the graph editor in order to make the timing of the animation run smoother.

There was an issue with the video upload and so I had to upload the edited video to Youtube before putting it here.

THIS ANIMATION USES A RIG CREATED BY JASON THEAKER AND REFERENCES ANIMATIONS ALREADY CREATED BY HIM AS PART OF A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT OWN OR CLAIM TO OWN IT'S CHARACTERS
