Bouncing ball


This is my first attempt at the bouncing ball animation. The timing is wrong on this making the video too fast, because it's my first try at using the program. It is testing a ball with the weight of a bowling ball on a grass ground. I'm happy with it as a first attempt, considering I haven't animated anything before.



This was my second attempt at the bouncing ball animation. this time I wanted to test a heavy ball landing in wall, and try to get the splash right. The timing is off again in this unfortunately, because I still couldn't figure out how to make it work, but besides the timing I think I did it well, i'm happy with how it reaches the water and sinks underneath. I do think the splash should be slightly different however.



This is my third attempt, in which uses a tennis ball falling onto a hard surface. i'm really happy with this one because I think i got the bounces right, and the amount of bounces done well. it was also one of the more difficult ones to get right, once I first did the frames I realised I had done several things wrong and had to re-do it a few times.



This was another re-attempt of the first bowling ball animation I did. this time I figured out the timing and re-animated it all to make it look better. I am happy with how it falls this time I think the amount of bounces is done right too.



This is the last bouncing ball animation I attempted. This one is a basketball bouncing, and I think it came out okay because you can see the difference between this and the tennis ball, so the amount of bounces is also shown right for a basketball I think.
