Nice ball. I don't know how much extra credit you get for the ship though. The ball seems to be made of something that absorbs engergy a littel faster than a "normal" ball though.

Oh shit dude, I just started messing around with keyframing a ball rolling on a slope. I am having so much fun using the ghost feature to tweak my arcs...it is so much fun, I can't wait to work on a character

Timing of the bouncing ball is good, but the ball seems to be changing volume when it hits the ground, careful of that...

Use linear interpretation on the ship spin - and slow it down so we can see it! :thumbsup:

Mattmos yea, I did the entire thing via the side view (im on a laptop so smallish screen bla).

I was pleased with the result turned to 3d view to make sure and ogle :P but low and behold my ball had gone and urned into a thin bouncing kipper on x by the end of the animation hehe. So i was forced to go into the fcurve editor, man what a learning curve heh! Anyways yeah it does change olume as thats as best i got it before abandoning, but hey 1st try in 3d :)

Love XSI now! specially the handy mini key control panel ;)

expect plenty more soon, busy making my website at min for my module deadline =.=

And yeah that ship test was just a "ok how do we key a camera move today? :P " ill make abetter ship soon!
