INTRODUCTION
EXERCISE 1: BOUNCING BALL ANIMATION
My task is to create a smooth and realistic bouncing ball animation using the provided sphere models. The goal is to explore timing, spacing, trajectory, and physics properties to showcase the unique characteristics of each sphere.
bowling:
First, I referenced the spacing, arc, and physical properties of the bowling balls, and then used Blender to edit them. To better determine the ball's descent time, I used keyframes in the timeline, which made it easier for me to confirm the ball's spacing later.

ping-pong ball ：
I observed that because the ping-pong ball is relatively light, it has a large range of motion. The red trajectory line is the bouncing path "hit" step by step using keyframes. The core is to simulate the physical laws of gravity and decaying bounce, with the height of each bounce decreasing and the time interval shortening.

Beach ball:
I noticed that beach balls are quite light, almost like balloons, so I focused on the curve editor, a key tool for adjusting the movement rhythm, to make the beach ball's bounce feel more "light and floating."

Soccer:
I have observed that a soccer ball's bounce follows three core principles: the descent is an accelerating motion, the ascent is a decelerating motion, and the height of each bounce gradually decreases.

EXERCISE 2: BALL WITH TAIL ANIMATION
For this exercise, we need to work on this project using the end file that the teacher sent us.
|

First, I modified the image size according to the teacher's requirements and added a face as the ground of the image.

Then, we began creating the animation, utilizing the knowledge of sphere jumping from the previous lesson.
