Bowling Ball Version 1


This is the first version of the bowling ball animation, I wanted to see how the thumbnail sketches would work and if the timings were okay, looking at this, I think there may need to be another bounce and the speed needs to be changed, so some issues with the timing there. I will have to carry on and tweak until I have a stronger version.

Tennis Ball Bounce Version 7





This is the 7th version of the tennis ball bounce, I recieved a bit of feedback from my peers during a class as I was having trouble animating the bounce of the ball and I felt that the bounce as a bit 'jumpy' at the start and the ball jolted up too quickly, I was however pleased with the end, My peers mentioned editing the curve on the f curve editor, I made the curve less 'curved' and made it sharp meaning the ball would bounce up quickly but not like a jolt, Therefore the bounce of the ball seemed to look better than before.

This is another version of the tennis ball bounce, I tweaked the height of the bounces on this to make it look  more realistic. However there are still some noticable flaws. Improvement is however visible.

Tennis Ball bounce version 5




These are the 2 camera angles of the 5th version of the tennis ball bounce, I have edited the movement of the ball slightly along with the bounce height and the distance the ball travels as it bounces, I did this using the f curve editor, I think it worked out well and im am pleased with the results of this.

This is the 4th version of the ball bounce, using my research I made the ball bounce and move along as if someone had thrown it slightly, I included a roll as it was in the air and the roll then took it to start falling towards the ground, I researched the length it would bounce and travel and included this in the animation. I think this is a massive improvement from the previous versions and I can use this to hopefully improve for a final edition as there are noticeable parts that need tweaking, Such as the length of the bounce I think that after the first bounce the ball doesnt travel far enough on the other bounces.

Tennis Ball bounce version 3


This is the 3rd attempt at the tennis ball bounce, I wanted to try and get the height of each bounce first before anything else, So this was just to see what it would look like as the ball reached a certain height each time it bounced off the ground.
