Hi all, I would like to show you my last 3 (firsts actually) animation tests so far, I started playing with a bouncing ball like it is used to.

Nicely done. Not sure if the focus is animation or rendering or story or all together.
The bouncing ball is usually purely a technical excersize in animation basics. You seem to aim for a complete tiny shortfilm.

Not sure what to comment on except keep it up and keep having fun with it.

Hi there, thanks for your replys.

Banshax: actually I wanted to be an animation test only, but since the work that i like most is textures/lighting/composition, i tried to add those as a plus, not to opaque the animation itself.

torresmedia: thanks! not really wanted to be "cute", just to have kinda personality or something, make the ball able to speak with the eyes and shape, wich every time i see it i know i need to work a lot more on them.


added a "Behind the Wires!" video in:

Some very nice work! :D I love to see stuff like this, and get a little bit inside the animation :) What program are you using?

Hi torresmedia, I used Blender for modeling, texturing, lighting, animating, compositing, and editing the final video with audio, well ..almost all (i painted the clouds and the space images in another software called The GIMP).

This is very funny animation. Excelent job. Blender has become really powerfull 3d package.
