Bouncing Ball Animation



So today I was learning so animation techniques and the 12 Principles of animation, in which it teaches me the most important things about animation and how it should look and move. So I decided to try something out very simple but it uses one of the principles which is Squash and Stretch. So in the GIF above you can see a ball bouncing well the good thing about that is in the GIF when the ball is hitting the floor it starts to squish getting a lot smaller in height however you need to make the mass stay correct so I then stretch out the ball so it has the same mass but get smaller in height and bigger in width. It is a very nice thing to know because it helps in making the animation look correct because if it just got smaller in height it will just look as if it got cut off by something.

Model [Doomhammer Model]

So today we decided to do some more 3d modeling. The models could be of anything we like of any genre so I decided that because I have played World of Warcraft in the past and it is a game I enjoy I decided to model one of the weapons in the game. The weapon i chose was Doomhammer which happens to be very nice model and has some nice detail in the model. The picture I chose to help: As you can tell the model looks quite difficult however a lot of the detail in the model can just be done with texturing the only part I could worry about or just not have on the model is the cloth above the hilt that sticks out but we shall see what happens when it comes to me texturing the model. My model so far: The shape of my model is looking very similar to what the original looks like and I am enjoying making the model as this is definitely developing my skills in 3ds max as well as texturing. I will be updating this post with every time the model is updated.

Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Release

So yesterday Rise of the Tomb Raider finally released on PC after so long of it only being on consoles. I played quite a bit of the game on the Xbox One however I am most looking forward to be able to get it for PC because I want to see what those graphics look like maxed out on PC. The game has some really cool mechanics especially with the bow being able to climb walls if you shoot an arrow into certain walls. As well as that there are some amazing scenery and game playing it. IGN rated this game a 9.3/10 Summary: Rise of the Tomb Raider follows up on Crystal Dynamics' redefining prequel/reboot to the Lara Croft saga. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first great Tomb Raiding expedition.
