Challenge: An exercise with a ball
- [Narrator] Now that you're familiar with how squash, and stretch, and anticipation can add life to your animation, we're gonna take this simple ball and enhance it. What we're gonna do is take this simple ball that's already going up and down, and add a little bit of squash, stretch, and anticipation. I encourage you not to adjust the timing, that is, try not to move around all the keyframes. All you need to do is just squash it, stretch it, and add a little bit of anticipation at the beginning. You can do this by using the scale tool in Maya or in Blender. And for anticipation, you can add it by using the rotation tool. And the same in Blender. The whole challenge should take about 20 minutes to accomplish. When you're done I'll show you my solution.
