Bouncing Ball

First and foremost, we must have the ball bounce in place and later have the ball move from the left, up-high to the right, down-low.
First make the ball move in Z axis:

The Z motion combined with the X axis motion:





XYZ scale animation to simulate squash and stretch:





Using the Y axis to simulate rotation:

Example 1 - After







Example 2 - Before




Example 2 - After

• Camera can now be set to Default key tangent for animation. (Default Key Tangent, see here)
• New and old key comparison

Usage


Linear


Curve


Final Result

• Use Refine Key to down sample the curve data into a manageable amount of keys.

• iClone Reach Target can be seen as a type of Lite IK effector, thereby, just attach two spheres to the ankles and use the IK Constraint.

• Use the Lite IK effector to fix the sliding in the steps.

• Review and compare the final result with the original movements.
