Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Looks good. Did some of the squish go away? That's OK if it's supposed to be a ping pong ball, they don't squish so much.

Haha.... Crap! I forgot about the squishy!

[Danimal]

Golf balls don't squish either. Just say it's one of those.

One squishy ball coming right up!

Can't tell the difference maybe someone can..

Fix- added squash and stretch.

Looking better to me, of course since this is a pretty quick bounce, the squash/stretch is only going to be visible on a couple frames. (actually my youtube playback right now I've only been able to pause on the contact squash, but not the stretch extreme. Might just be youtube or this computer though.)

At any rate, Danimal's got a good point...

Plenty of things could bounce like that. I can tell you that it is NOT a bowling ball. And it is NOT a cotton ball.

This works fine for a random test ball, though it can kind of create an animation approach of... "I'm gonna draw something and animate it, and when I see what it looks like and how it's moving then I'll decide what it is and why it moves like that. "

Hey thanks ddrake!

Yeah it is a quick bounce, I'm still trying to figure out the basics of timing and spacing (I know it's going to take me a while to get that down).

True, I guess I should of said what the object was so it would be a little more convincing

Haha definitely not one of those.

"I'm gonna draw something and animate it, and when I see what it looks like and how it's moving then I'll decide what it is and why it moves like that. "

Definitely going to go at that approach in the future, I have "accidentally" animated good stuff when first starting out, I will just make my accidents look like they were on purpose

Couple more changes and then I will be done!

In this fix I added sound that I recorded on my keyboard (that's why the beat is way off)
Sound of ball bouncing is me tapping on my table and recording it haha
and edited in Adobe Premier...That in itself is a learning curve
