i want to add some shadows too

[Walker]

the first bounce seems pretty solid but the rest of the bounces float after that. keep an eye on your timing and spacing. looks good, but you can make it better, keep it up.

[NOOB!]

agreed thats it look great,agreed that it can be improved slightly.

It does look great. Since your doing a proportioned bounce (major props :Blahblahb ) the size scale is important. On the second and third landing, the ball doesn't seem to shrink, then on the fourth bounce it shrinks again. Not sure if you noticed that.

Thanks for the feedback guys

I made another attempt.

Probably another attempt to come. I still need to make it more obvious that the ball is moving backward.

off to good start there man. I think you're doing somthing which alot of ppl in animation have a tendencey not to overcome which is the old saying of wanting to run before you walk (doing hte complicated thing first, rather than learning the simple thing firmly then taking it further). It's nice you're trying for perspective and all but You may be overcomplicating the goals before feeling confident in the fundimentals. If you can do the ball bounce in profile well, you will manage the ballbounce in perspective much more.
Keep it up.

Thanks Sangfroid

the ball needs to slow down when it reaches the top of the arch.

I think it's better than all my others but could still use improving :blink:
