Week 1: Bouncing Ball & 3 Golden Poses

Planning

I hope the ball to be a soft but flexible one. Usually this kind of balls lose energy quickly and stretch a lot. Every time the ball bounce, height reduces to 2/5 of the previous time, and time(frames) reduces to 1/2 of the previous time.

During the planning process. I’m a little tired of having to stretch the ball both before and after it touches the ground. That looks just like a balloon filled with water. Therefore I removed the stretching of the ball before it landed to make it more resilient.

George had a few feedback on this homework:

  1. It is necessary to check whether the ball is on the parabola at each moment.
  2. I should maintain the deformation of the ball as it falls.
  3. The small ball usually rotate back a little after reaching the terminal.

Here is homework based on the feedbacks.

3 Golden Poses

Key Points

  1. C curves make poses appealing.
  2. Pay attention to weight and balance.
  3. Informative silhouette is better.

Standing Pose

Happy Pose

Hero Pose

Feedback

  1. C curves.
  2. Find a specific reference instead of generating one from imagination.
