Luxo Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 "You've never seen a ball bounce like this"-AO Scott, New York Times "Two Thumbs Up"-Ebert & Roeper "Filled with shock, suspense and special effects this is the year's must see movie"-Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune "Visually Stunning"-Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle It's attached for all who want to see. Seriously, as much as I wanted to jump in and do my Pixar like, Emmy Nominated, Four Star, SIGGRAPH standing ovation, tour de force of a movie I took advice from some animation books (and animators on the web) to start with the obnoxious bouncing ball exercise. So I did. Feel free to comment. Note that I have not tried to put any rotation on the ball No dynamics were used. ballbouncerenderrerenderrerender.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxo Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Quicktime claims that the movie is "broken", so it won't play... Grrrr, this happend before when I tried to post it. I will try to get it to work. I'm re rendering it as we, erm, speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I really want to see this. Did you use rigid body dynamics? And how long is it going to take to render? How long is it? Sorry but I just can't wait. Quicktime claims that the movie is "broken", so it won't play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash, don't get your hopes up, this is my first animation. It's just a ball, bouncing, then it bounces some more. It's just a couple seconds long, no dynamics were used.

Luxo Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 nope, still dead. you sure you did it correctly? browsed it and waited untill the whole thing was done loading? Got it to work! I had to put it in Final Cut Express then export it out again. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 the bounce and everything looks good, but... I keep getting a purple flare after the ball, is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 the bounce and everything looks good, but... I keep getting a purple flare after the ball, is it just me? I think it's just some pixilation from compression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsdj Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hi Pixar, If you haven't been there wander over to the Student forum - bootcamp 1. Download some of the exercises and read the comments - its a learning experience. You have the bounce motion down OK - now you just need to apply a litle squash and stretch. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Wow. So wait did you use toon render? or did you make models with decals and have the simple model bounce up and down? Ok. This is much more complex than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
