first animated gif

[moog]

ok so i suck eggs at art but i decided to make a small animated gif of a ball bouncing into a oddly shaped foot. idk if i have the physics of it down yet but this is what i have so far

halp ;_;

 

[moxie]

well it's a good first try!! but um I would recommend making it more ball and foot-like!

vv oh I thought that was intentional oh jeez

I tried to find a nice animation to help you, but I couldn't find one among the masses of sucky ball animations :sad:

I also tried to find a reference you can use with this as the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKJegbjS4N8

I hope this will help you ^_^

*hugs*

It falls much slower than it bounces back up, and I don't think it'd fall at a perfect 45 degree angle, you need to make it arch as it falls and bounces...

srsly, I'm good at these things, got a few animations somewhere around here...

I googled "bouncing balls" but didn't like what I saw.

Anyway, this might help:

Well mouse pretty much showed the picture of how a bouncing ball pretty much works.

but here's a tip, animation is all about Timing and Spacing.
It's a bit hard too explain, but here's a link to how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loCiTO8qEMI ( he can explain it way better than I ever could)
