  • Car Falling “Bounce Look”

    Hello all,

    I’m trying to make a template for the promotions at my casino that giveaway a free car. I want the cars to drop from above and hit the ground with accurate physics. Most of the bounce expressions I have used simulate a rubber, bouncy material and despite tweaking them, do not seem to give me the effect I’m looking for. I made three so far each one looks a bit closer to what I’m going for than the next but the vehicles still look too light and bouncy to be real.

    Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to a bounce expression suited more towards heavy objects. Thank you!!!!

    Just a small suggestion, though probably somewhat difficult to template.

    If you separate the frame from the wheels and put a delay on the body with a some type of valueAtTime expressions, it would probably sell it more. The image looks really stiff but cars naturally have some suspension – so when it hits the ground, the wheels should stop, the frame should sink in a little, the wheels should then begin to move up and the frame a little slightly there after.

    Sincerely,

    George
