melc92 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hello, I would really appreciate any advice as I would really like to animate this shot where I have tracked footage of steps that I've taken and what I would like to achieve is to have a load of bouncing balls coming down, similar to the Sony advert but not as hectic. I have so far rigged a ball and began to animate that, but I was wondering if there was a much more effective way of achieving this look, I have attached some images of the steps I have and also some stills from the Sony advert. I was wondering if a crowd simulation is something that would work for something like this or particles? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Sean-R Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Have you tried a Particle Simulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosssi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Crowd has a particle solver inside but working with crowd can be tricky in this situation. I think a simple pop simulation is the way to go. It is pretty a normal sim and the only issue is the ball squash and stretch which can be achieved by particle hit attributes and controlling a blend shape before and after the hit.
