Moho Forum

I'm studying animation from the basic principles, I'm currently looking at chris webster's mechanics of motion...here's a few tests I made these days:

bouncing balls

Flag cycle

Paper aeroplane cycle

Paper aeroplane action

In the bouncing balls video i tryed to make a balloon path but I know It's a bit unreal, It needs more balance adjustment...

Comments will be appreciated!

Ah...I have to thank mikdog for the useful bouncing ball tutorial!

These are a lot better than my first fumbling attempts with Moho, back in the mists of time...I'd like to make a suggestion about the flag, though. I find it better to combine prime numbers in these situations; for example, eleven cycles along the top of the flag, thirteen along the bottom and five down the right-hand edge. This ensures that it is some time before the whole cycle is repeated, and also adds a bit of unpredictability to the action.

I have the same book. It's terrific.

Your examples are a good start. One suggestion: On the paper airplane, the speed of plane seems constant. It should slow up in distance and speed up when in closes in. Adding more frames will slow it down.

Thank you for answering...I'm happy I'm doing quite well, hope I will do better in future!

This is suppose to be a very good trick, I'm keeping it in mind!

well, there are few keyframes for that, i thought it had to be not so noticeable...I will try to make it more!
