Bouncing Ball Animation


I have created a bouncing ball animation. This is often the first animation people create because it is something that you can easily apply the principles of animations on. Its not too complicated to make, so it is a good animation to learn when you are starting to learn animation and also as animation skills get better, so should the ability to make a good ball bounce animation, so it can be good to recreate them every once in a while to track improvement.

Here I have the animation starting with the ball being dropped from a high height, and then the height and speed of each bounce changes - getting smaller and faster as it loses momentum, until it comes to a complete stop.

I think this animation is ok for my first time animating a ball bouncing, however, after learning more about animation I know that it could be improved by adding elements of squash and stretch as well as changing the angle of the bounce - as balls don't usually bounce up at an exactly straight angle each time.
