As gravity forces the ball against a concrete the ball will squash against the solid floor and then reform its shape once it has recovered from the landing.

Squash, Stretch and Exaggeration (Bouncing ball)
The bouncing ball is an animation mechanism that simulates a ball bouncing from one side of the screen to another. I will be using Maya once again for this demonstration. The editable motion trail is now once again used and this time the animation is in auto-mode, ensuring that the ball will follow the path as I want it to.

As the ball processes through time the ball will slowly degrade until it either meets a collision or stops completely.

Timing and spacing (continued)
Timing and spacing is a very essential mechanism in animation. Similar to the last procedure it consists of moving objects that are set in the same time but move at a different spacing.
With this particular exercise I will be demonstrating this technique with two pendulums. The image below shows that both of the pendulums are equal in terms of start, middle and end frames but the one on the right is more exaggerated than the one of the left.

Same Timing/Different Spacing
This being my first official week of University I have been introduced to Maya. This software that I have not yet experience but hope to get better at a later stage. With Maya I have studied the different timings but at the same time I have also made the spacing different. Both spheres arrive at the end location at the exact same time but both of them go at different eases.
This screenshot shows the motion editable motion trail. Notice that the keyframes at the bottom are slighty more exaggerated than the keyframes at the top. The top ones being in order which creates a simple smooth tween from one place to another. The bottom one being eased in and eased out.
Here is the video of the final outcome.
