Animation Jump ball 02

So here I am back to the jump.
This one is faster which works much better!

I'm starting to be a bit bored/annoyed with bouncing ball but I will force myself to still work on that to really feel good about it!
I will add a second ball with a bigger weight. After that I will work on animating ball with character (Living Ball). And also I need to go back on Lucien! I need more than 24 hours!

With the Wall

Weight in Animation

Here is another exercise with simple objects.
What I love in this exercise is that it really shows that the animation is giving so much information to the eyes. For exemple, this 2 videos have exactly the same component and the same animation until frame 18 but after that frame the animation is completly different giving different weights to the different objects!

Bouncing Ball 02

Here is a new try with the bouncing ball. For now I definitly prefer that one!
This is a ball without any character, just try to look kind of realistic.

So to start again this new season I will work again on the bouncing ball. I notice that there is a lot of thing off in this animation, I opened it again but I was not able to solve it so I did some search. I hope this will help me!

On this website I find a chart that show the bounciness of different type of ball.

I will start again soon to work on Lucien, just need the energy, courage and time, LOL!

The return!

Every good things come to an end so here we are back in Montreal after some amazing moment spent in France. If you never went in the Provence and you have a possibility to do so, don't miss it, for me it's the most beautiful place in the world that I have seen so far!
But now I will focus on the new season, and go back to work onLucien and other animations.

Holydays

3 Weeks vacations!!! wouhouuuuu!!!

I'm gonna go in France, visiting my family and showing Kaleigh, my wife how beautiful the south of France is. So I won't be posting during that time, but I will be ready and relaxed for September!

Animation Bouncing ball 01

a little break from Lucien. A first pass of an animation of a ball, I'm not quite satisfied with the last small bounces and I need also to add some squash and stretch... but it's a beginning!
