Week 1-The Animation of Bouncing Ball

This blog is about process of making bouncing ball.

Version One

This version is my first attempt at making small balls.

I think there is something wrong with the dynamic of the ball’s bounce and deformation.

This video shows the movement of bouncing ball made in Maya
and the ball is reference from bloopanimation, the link is https://www.bloopanimation.com/ball-rig/

Version Two

I tried to make a second version of the ball, adding the ball spin, but the ball bounce animation was still not good.

Final Version

Reference
