- 3D bouncing ball with stretch and squash effect (playblast version) -VIDEO
This exercise allows me to learn how animations can animate as natural as reality. This is also the first animation principle I got to know which is Squash and Stretch principle. This is to show there's gravity pull acting on the ball by showing it stretches after it bounces off the ground. It then shows that it is squashed on the ground showing the impact, similarly as reality.
This is an example video of how Squash&Stretch
makes a different in animation: Brave Blue
