drop-down “bungee” effect using motion

[Yohanan Braunschvig]

Hey Deyson,
Your design is absolutely wonderful! I am trying to learn the ropes of motion at the moment so it’s not something I want to purchase ready to use. I am going to keep an eye on the podcasts though 🙂

Very cool. I was not sure if you were needing for a project or had a deadline. 🙂

Best of luck and most important, have fun! 🙂

Tried hard to figure out the animation and was not very successful…
Also tried to figure out linking but didn’t find any good resources.

I think I need a bit of guidance in order to recreate the same effect.

Hi, can you explain the way you made the rectangles stick to one another on the up swing? I’ve been staring at it for days and can’t seem to see what parameters are in play.

[Bret Williams]

The rectangles are simply nested within the group of the rectangle above it. So, while they’re rotating on their own, any rotation to the group they’re in is also applied. Hope that makes sense.

To think of it more simply, if you recognize that all objects in a group rotate when you rotate the group as a whole, then it’s just about thinking of what happens when they’re all individually rotating as well. Each square is roughly the same. Just a duplicate of the original group (I think I did some tweaking of their anime and color). It’s their placement vertically that creates the ladder look. Then their horizontally that dictates when they roll down. And each is nested within the group of the square above, so they take on not only their own swing out rotation, but also the cumulative effect of the rotation (swing) of the group they’re nested in. And that group they’re nested in is taking on it’s own rotation, plus the rotation of the group it’s nested in and so on.
