Step 1 – Understanding the concept behind squash and stretch
We'll be animating a bouncing ball in this assignment. It's a basic item, but the concepts of
squash and stretch are quite powerful, so it's excellent practise. Any animated item follows
the same principle, but has greater substance. When our ball reaches the ground, it will
briefly try to continue going despite the fact that the ground is in the path. This implies that it
will change shape (flatten out a little) for a brief period of time once the weight strikes a hard
surface and is forced to stop its descent. This also increases the energy of the ball for its
direction shift. The degree of squash and stretch varies according on the type of the dynamic
item. The less squash and stretch there are, the more rigid the thing.
