IOL-WEEK11

BY XILE QIU

In response to this week's iteration of the theme, I went back to the ball movement I created last week (WEEK10). My goal was to create an animation of a small ball moving horizontally.

To make it more difficult I set the concept of lateral to mountains. I made a GIF of a ball climbing a mountain.

I finally made this animation by practicing path tracing again and again. And added the pattern of object movement, so that the speed of the ball climbing changes. The speed decreases when the ball is climbing up and increases when the ball is falling.

Reflection At first the ball was linked to one part of the wave and moved to the right along with the wave. After some adjustments, I made the ball stay in the center of the screen but ebb and flow with the wave. I achieved the animation I wanted. In order to make the animation look clearer, I adjusted the colors to black and white.
