Hi,
I don’t know if any of this will help, but here goes –
– don’t get frustrated, when it does get frustrating take a break, you are doing great. Personally, I submitted this exercise numerous times.
– You can always add more key frames, to help avoid the intersection, with the platform and add more frames to slow it down.
– why does your ball hit the second. platform and bounce up the platform and not down the platform.
– the second drop slows down at the bottom, it shouldn’t. You need adjust the handles to be more vertical like in the bouncing ball exercise, The bounces need to be flatter in the ending (refer to bouncing ball exercise). I would maybe add a couple of frames, seems a little too fast compared to the rest (second drop)
– I would add a couple of frames to the the first bounce at the end, the distance and height variation is great, but the timing should also be different.
– I think in Wayne’s example, at the very end the ball rolls a little, then overshoots and rolls back, small thing but makes it look more natural.
– If you get really stuck just submit the exercise and Wayne will help, he is great.
Hope some of this helps, I know these exercises seem like they should be simple, but you are learning some important fundamentals. It looks great so far, everyone get frustrated, shouldn’t type some of the things I said.
