Re: Animation basics, expect lots of balls
Sup! Nice to see another user on PC trying out animation! god knows we see enough T-poses up in this bish..:poly127: I have not read through Vig's reply yet, but I'm sure its awesome and I'll give it a read tomorrow, so he might have said what I am about to say (how little it very well may be..). I'm not going to read into… -
Re: Animation basics, expect lots of balls
Hey man, nice start and some good advice from thatanimator. Personally i would pick up a copy of the animators survival kit if you havent already, its more suited to 2d animation but the principles and technicials are the same, and it is very well explained. It has helped me out alot learning at uni. Reference images like… -
Re: Animation basics, expect lots of balls
Cheers Gufufawug! Yep, I have that book. It's awesome, I nearly bought the DVD set too until I realised it's basically a transcript of the book.

The problem I'm seeing is that it's so unclear how a generic ball 'should' behave. I guess my eyes see a… -
Re: Animation basics, expect lots of balls
Can't scrub frames with Youtube, Andreas. Edit: I'll try to give a crit here, but just a disclaimer, I'm not that familiar with animation, so i guess take this accordingly, lol. But like Mark said before, I think the anticipation of the ball hitting the ground is still not reading as well as it could. With the ball having… -
Re: Animation basics, expect lots of balls
Thanks a lot Vig, really appreciate the crits. I completely forgot about including some horizontal forces on the squash/stretch, I'm not sure why but you're right, when it's missing it is noticeable. I've made a few changes as per your suggestions. Arcs were indeed pretty linear on the little ball bounces, I've flattened… -
