kame - MOTION

[kame]

well hello all, im here to win the prize! just kidding, i've seen the competition, but i still said 'why de the hell not?', chances are you couldn't even send the book where i live.
Entry no.1: http://img104.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bounce1ux.swf

There are alot of details i missed or chose not to add, because i don't know if it would qualify as a true "boucing ball". Tell me if another version would be better.
and if all goes well, by tommorow or so i'll be posting the flag. Good luck for me!

Unless you're in Belarus or in Guantanamo , I'm pretty sure we can manage to get you a copy if you haqppen to win :confused: Welcome to the Challenge

Timing is way too slow for a bowling ball bounce. IT floats when it drops. keep practicing

Here is the flag entry, i think it came out very well, and on the next update i will colour teh flag. And ill redo the bouncy ball from scratch. Comments?

[NOOB!]

decent attempt,try to make more of a less blatent loop:)

[Terro]

Very nice composition Kame. I do have to agree with noob here and say that the loop start&end are a little too obvious. Try to make is so we don't know when it the loop repeats. Overall, great work.

[kame]

thanks tero, ill work on that next. Meanwhile, here is bouncy ball mark II:

not bad, not bad, im still not much on the curves, so ill leave that for someone else, but on the drop into the tube, there's a little TOO much aticipation, like it paused and specifically aimed itslef into the tube

[pixelmark]

Nice shot!:) Ignoring the last arc into the tube, I thought that the animation itself was very fluid and the squash/stretch was more natural than anything I've come up with. Maybe the peak of the arc is too slow...(?). I don't know how you feel, but I am finding it very difficult to get a natural bounce without jittery animation.This is a good exersize, as it is more difficult than it would appear!

[kame]

i knew there was something wrong with the las part, but couldn't quite put my finger on it!

[kame]

OK, here is the old bouncy ball:

AND the new bouncy ball:

Any improvement?

[clayt]

tbh i dont see any improvement sorry... its still aiming itself into the end hole thingy... and throughtout the animation the ball kinda changes shape i think its when it bounces just looks a lil' odd

[NOOB!]

i won't put it as harshly,but yeh i think the ball looks as if its being sucked in by the pipe,instead of just bouncing into it.

this what i've been saying in other threads,just focus on making the ball bounce,all this extra stuff is not what where looking for,its too early for that.

hope the challenge isn't over >< it said until may 6. Damn end of semester exams!! DAMN STUDIES!! last minute updates, done really really quick:
