    Squash and Stretch: Basic 3D Animation Using Blender

    Uploaded by

    Annie Voinova
    This document discusses the animation principle of squash and stretch. It begins by defining animation and the basic principles established by Disney animators, including squash and stretch. It explains that squash and stretch involves deforming an object during moments of impact or speed to make the movement appear more realistic. The document provides examples of how to apply squash and stretch during moments of impact versus stretching. It emphasizes maintaining an object's volume while deforming it. The goal of this principle is to create more realistic and exaggerated motions to bring animation to life.

    Squash and Stretch


    Kaumudi Sahasrabudhe,
    Freelance Animator and Illustrator
    Outline
     What is animation
     Basic principles of animation
    • Listed by Disney animators (Illusion of Life)
    • Our focus: Squash and stretch
     Why, Where and How this principle is used

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 2


    What is Animation?
    Animation is derived from the Latin word anima - ‘to give life to’…

    To show a movement with a series of drawings that are slightly different from
    one another and when viewed quickly one after another, create the appearance
    (illusion) of movement.

    Animation principles (Disney)
    Disney’s twelve animation principles are introduced by Disney
    animators in the book Illusion of Life*.
    1. Squash & stretch 7. Arc
    2. Anticipation 8. Secondary action
    3. Staging 9. Timing
    4. Straight ahead action & Pose to Pose 10. Exaggeration
    5. Follow through & overlapping action 11. Solid drawing
    6. Slow in & slow out 12. Appeal

    Force
    What is the effect of force on these objects?
     Flexible objects deform
     Stiff objects don’t

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 8


    Squash and Stretch
    Principle which enables the animator to apply these deformations is:
    Squash and stretch

    Normal Stretch Normal Squash

    Stretch: deformation as a Squash: deformation as a


    result of speed result of impact

    Advantages
    Applying the squash and stretch principle helps to create:
     Realistic motion
     Gags

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 10


    Adding Stretch
    To apply Stretch: deform the object, parallel to the direction of the force

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 11


    Adding Squash
    To apply squash: deform the object, as per the colliding object

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 12


    Tip
    While using this principle, always keep in mind to maintain the
    volume of the object.

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 13


    Not using animation principles can:
     Lead to misinformation
     Make it non realistic

    SKANI102x | Squash and stretch 14


    Use the Principles,
    add life to Animation
