Life on a Chain

for this week we had to simulate a ball hanging from a chain and being dropped this meant looking into how the ball will react to swinging and then replicating that in our animation. i just blocked out the swings and learnt a new feature select and heighacy allows me to select he whole chain to make sure i key the everything for the right poses.

Well it swings but everything else is all wrong i need to change the pacing and the momentum and speed but that's fixable. first I'm going to look in the graph editor. so to fix something like this I'm going to need to take all the curves and make sure that they get closer to zero each time to stop momentum for the ball. this alone should make a huge difference however i am also going to space the peaks of each swing out in a way so that they get farther apart each time this will allow them to make the ball slow down as it approaches the end of the swings.
