Ball Rolling

[Simon Edmondson]

Thought I'd have a try at some basic exercises and trying to get a ball rolling properly.

In preparation for the idea, pose sliders were used for the rotation and spins.

However this was not one of my better ideas !

Does anyone have good advice as to how to achieve it ?

 

The ball is setup with a single bone for the mesh and that controls the rotation and spin and the distance with the model bone ( hope that makes sense ?)

 

Might there be a better way ?

I'm not sure how you've got everything set up there but you may want to change the Rotation driver to Euler as that will allow you to rotate the ball in increments of 360. You can access the drivers by Right Clicking on any of the Rotation Properties and selecting Change Driver to Euler.

Much will depend on what you want to accomplish with the rig.

Thank you.

I will try that next.
