Bouncing Ball Animation | Step By Step Tutorial In Blender 4.3 | Graph Editor Tutorial

Blender Tutorial for Beginners - In this tutorial, https://youtu.be/G968rRDG7LI , I show you how to create a bouncing ball animation in Blender. Watch the full video till the end to know more about it. Description:- ------------------ In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a simple yet effective bouncing ball animation in Blender. This is a raw and unfiltered step-by-step guide where I take you through the entire process, from start to finish. Key Highlights: ----------------------- 1)Planning the Animation: - I share a structured map/plan for the animation, showing the ball bouncing three times with decreasing height and frame count: 1)1st Bounce: 5 meters in 20 frames. 2)2nd Bounce: 3 meters in 16 frames. 3)3rd Bounce: 1 meter in 12 frames. 2)Setting Up in Blender: - Starting with a new project, I remove unnecessary elements like the cube, camera, and light. - I add a UV Sphere and focus on the ball’s motion along two axes: 1)Z-axis: The ball bounces vertically. 2)X-axis: The ball moves horizontally. 3)Animating Along the Z-Axis (Bouncing): - I insert keyframes for the ball’s location at specific frames to simulate the bounce. - I adjust the keyframe handles in the Graph Editor to mimic realistic bounce physics, ensuring the motion looks natural and not “floaty.” 4)Animating Along the X-Axis (Movement): - I demonstrate how to move the ball horizontally, synchronizing its motion with the bounce. 5)Fine-Tuning the Animation: - Adjusting keyframes and handles for a smoother, more realistic bounce effect. - Optimizing visibility in the Graph Editor by isolating specific axes (Z for bounce and X for movement). By the end of the tutorial, you’ll have a basic yet polished bouncing ball animation that combines vertical and horizontal motion, giving it a natural look. This tutorial emphasizes the importance of planning and understanding keyframe adjustments in Blender’s Graph Editor. Whether you're a beginner or someone looking to refine your animation skills, this step-by-step guide will help you create smooth and believable bounces!
