Hey Egeman,

Good theme for a second challenge. It’s nice to see a smooth curve of challenge here, keeping it simple and fundamental-based thus far.

I’ll upload my entry later these days o/

Nice! I’ll do my entry also later this week… Can I reuse my heavy ball animation? I’ll add a light bouncy ball to the animation and interact it with the heavy one…Cheers!

Hi Pulapula, it looks cool, i like it

Hi Sebek128 , your idea mightbe dangerous i think , imean everyone has different level and skill, for example bouncing ball might be difficult for someone and it might be easy for other, i recomended to manage one person who knows, i dont say i do it or you, but i think someone should do it and manage it at least lets say decided to next competation, as you see we are trying to waking up this section to join maximum people, for example someone won and decided to make very complicated animation, that entry will be less, so the question is , we try to make maximum join to the entry or we want to show our skills and discuss about it, as i say all is ok for me, if everyone says ,who is winner can decided, its also ok for sure, i just said my idea…lets wait and see what people think about it.

This entry going to finish soon, so if you want you can decided to next entry.I just want to wake up this section and make good quality friendly something(i dont mind if it is competation) my point is doing something to have benefit for all

Well I think we all agreed that we would like to keep as many participants as possible and work to increase our skills, gradually increasing complexity of our animations.
Everyone just should be aware that we need only a slight difficulty changes for next competitions to keep it available to everyone.

I dont want to suggest a judo fight scene for the next time :wink:

The best idea I think is to let the winner choose the topic under Your moderation.
This way You will keep it on right track, and will have a little more motivation do to our best.

#17

Wow I really didn’t think I’ll make it in but, sure enough I found some time in between moving and work, not as much as I hoped. I have to say everyone’s submission so far looks great. Here is mine http://youtu.be/SrKHxBPVj10?hd=1 I welcome any feedback.

#18

Remember than no matter how heavy the ball is, it has a parabolic trajectory, try to check the curves because the movement of both of these looks a bit unnatural.

#19

Ok I feel pretty stupid I just rewatch the video I posted and saw the first bounce of the light ball doesn’t even touch the ground :banghead: . For some reason It skips every ninth frame, well I guess that’s last time I try to use my netbook for video encoding. Here is the new link http://youtu.be/nH2-4ntxiYc

Sebek128 thanks for pointing out the trajectories. I been messing around with the curves but I guess the heavy ball needs a little bit more work.
