@yukinoh1989 Hi Yukino, here I am! I looked at your Vanilla Ball Drops, as requested

Well… let’s see. 

– The first drop is still in slow motion… you can cut a couple of frames out of that.

– You’re at the point where your eyes are tricking you. The first bounces of the basketbal where good, you only had to scale down the key at the top of the bounce a bit to make it feel less floaty (a.k.a. make all the bounces nice parabolas). Now its even spacing all around… 

I recommend leaving this one be for at least 2 days. Then go back to an older version (the one you submitted) and try again. 

Don’t be discouraged, this happens to everyone and it’s all part of the learning process. Heck, I had to do some exercises multiple times before I could turn them in, and even then had to adjust them once or twice. You’re doing great and progressing at a good rate. Just keep working hard and remember to rest your eyes, and you’ll get there! 

PS your bowling ball is already looking good, so no need to adjust that one 🙂

@smurfmier1985
Thanks a lot i will keep a few day rest for this exercise .
for the first drop i decreased from 18 frames to 16 frames so gonna check if 14 frame will be better then .
i also started the obstacle 1 exercise . so if youre ready to critique some more fire them away .
thanks for taking youre time to critique them

@yukinoh1989 Also looked at your obstace drop.

It’s a good start Yukino, just some little things to adress before moving on to rotations 🙂

– the first platform, the ball is going pretty slow there, you’ve got even spacing instead of speeding up. Then when it falls of the platorm it does speed up suddenly, which looks a bit ‘off’.
First make it speed up on the first platform. Real tight spacing at the top, getting a bit bigger each frame when it picks up speed rolling down the platform.
When it falls of the first platform continue this speeding up in the same way. Also make it land higher  on the platform a bit. When it has a lot of speed / momemten, gravity will have a effect of course but it won’t pull it down that much

– the first bounce on the platform can be a bit bigger (because it hits harder when you give it some speed)

– same even spacing on second platform rolling down & second fall towards the ground (the distance it falls away from the platform is pretty good)

– you have even spacing in the bounces on the ground, try to make them nice parabolas

You can do this, just rest those eyes and polish away! it always takes multiple passes to get right ^^

@yukinoh1989 yeah I was already on that, but giving detailes critiques takes time so we crossed each other 😉

[yukino hatake]

@smurfmier1985 haha indeed :p
guess i have to work on both more on the spacing and parabolas .
as for the speed when it rolls on the second platform i suppose it should axelerate again with even more speed right ? since it more downwards placed ?

[smurfmier1985]

@yukinoh1989 it’s the same way as on the first platform, since the bounces before that kinda stop the ball. So it starts slow and builds up speed. Tight spacing at the start and slowly getting bigger when it speeds up rolling down.

Timing, Spacing and Parabolas… they are hard when you start out. But every time you animate them you get better. It slowly sneaks up to you. You’ll get there 🙂

@smurfmier1985 thanks i have to say even if its hard its extremely fun. so far i love the obstacle one most of all for now 🙂 at first i was like wow those 2 curves how i gonna get that good but once you start tweaking you do get there 🙂 .
i cant wait till i get into the character ball . especially dougie he is so adorable . got some plans for him

[smurfmier1985]

@yukinoh1989 looking forward to seeing that! Good luck 🙂

simple kitchen table .

later on when i modelled the house assets ill spend time with textures like wood etc but for now i will use basic materials .
let me know if someting looks not good or strange .

@yukinoh1989 Looks simply great 😀 I don’t know how the legs are supposed to connect to the table but tightening the gap between them a bit might look better. You might also brighten your light source (or one of them if you have more than one) to make the table stand out more. Darker background also fits much better.

[yukino hatake]

@drgnclw hey thanks for the feedback I’ll change to a darker background when I’ll make the turnable version. The legs of the table is more iron material  gonna tighten the gap between the iron and wood. I am also not sure how it’s connected at the image reference I was unable to see any screws.

since i took a break from the vanilla ball drop and obstacle i decided to check out the squash and stretch.
at first i was like i just gonna watch it and download but i guess i ended up trying it out and ya in the end
make the exercise already xD
so here it is . let me know what you guys think

exercise squash and stretch

[yukino hatake]

also worked onto the vanilla drop . i think this is better already especially the drop speed. somehow i first was like that will be way too fast only 14 frames but after all it looks much better .
gonna take a break for one hour and then go onto the obstacle to see if i can adjust a bit in there 🙂

[silentheart00]

@yukinoh1989 You’re going at a good clip.  Hopefully you won’t wear yourself out.  Things look good from here =]

[yukino hatake]

@silentheart00 Thanks a lot . just finished for today . this is the obstacle (still not finished )
but i first gonna see if things are still strange or not good 🙂 .
i try to be carefull . dont want to end up like last time . took a while to recover from it .
