Bouncing balls.
O.K so we spent the whole of Monday fiddling with our bouncing ball, yes I mean thats all we did for 6 hours and I'm disturb to say I found it fun......frustrating, but fun. After we finished the text book version we got to fiddle around with the graph editor tweaking the curves, timing ect. Wow may I say the graph editor is very useful but it can also be increadibly confusing. In simplest terms the graph editor measures time over attribute variation (the three attributes being position, scale and rotation) and then for each of these you have 3 different graphs represeting the translation across each axis leaving you with a total of nine graphs. Where it all falls down for me is that I tend to be one of thoes people who turns a map upside down to read. So if I can't read a map up the right way you can assume I have trouble reading 9 graphs which tend all to look the same even though they are representing diffrent things, I think the hardest for me is definatly rotation. So after that description you can safley assume I was very happy to expand my understanding of this tool.
