Animate object bouncing

#1

Hi,
I’ve got to animate a bendy rectangular object along a bouncing path. Kind of like a bouncing ball with the squash & stretch. The object got to bounce on one end to the opposite end and follow a path. I have tried the CurveContraint plugin but can only do one arc with limited control on timing. I like that I can have the object spin on itself with that method.
Anybody ever do something like that? The object’s got to conform to the curve… and be able to bounce on opposite ends.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can draw that curve in Modeler and export it as a path. Then, you load that path in layout as a motion for that model. Then you manually squash and stretch it where you want.

might help…
