OVERVIEW
This exercise is designed to be an application of the information learned in Chapter 5 of the Animation Bootcamp course. The assignment is to add believable overlapping-action to Torque's antenna, giving it an appealing spring-y-ness.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Download the Antenna Overlap: Source Files from the Downloads tab and open the unzipped .blend file with Blender.
- Animate Torque's antenna so it reads springy and flexible, dragging behind the body's action. Try not to make it too flexible and also not too stiff.
- Render your animation as an openGL viewport render.
- Upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo.
- Finally, submit your exercise by clicking the Submit Exercise button in the top-right corner of this page and pasting your video's URL.
