I created this ball rig for my upcoming animated short, but it could be used for some basic bouncing ball animation exercises as well.

It can do pretty much everything a bouncing ball rig should do, and a bit more:

It has squash and stretch controls.

controls. These controls can be moved so that the stretching happens anywhere on the ball.

on the ball. It has secondary rotation controls.

controls. It’s scalable .

. It’s free to download!
