Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part IV – Squash
Page 2 of 2For Animation
This simple animation, create bouncing ball.
1. Create a sphere.

2. Go to frame 20 and translate y to 5 and keyframe it. Go to frame 10 and change factor value at 0.3 and keyframe it.

3. Go to frame 20 and change factor value to 0 and keyframe it.

4. Go to frame 40 and translate y to 0 and keyframe it. Go to frame 30 and change factor value to 0.3 and keyframe it.

5. Go to frame 40 and change factor value to -0.3 and keyframe it. The result about this animation you can watch on the bottom this tutorial.

Another tutorial I create is bouncing soccer ball. This animation is combination of bend, flare and squash deformer.
Flag: flare deformer
Goal posts: bend deformer
Soccer ball: bend and squash deformer.

My scenario is when the soccer ball hit the goal post, the soccer ball will stretching and bend.

After hit the goal post, the soccer ball will bound with form of squash.

This is animation video.
I hope you can learn something from this tutorial and thanks has joined in this tutorial. See you at part V.
