Pendulum Tutorials

Again, here is another tutorial that we got given to complete. We had to animate the pendulum so it swings back and forth. I had the pendulum at the angle 270 on the attribute editor for the first key frame, then moved to key frame 25 and rotated the pendulum to 0, then moved to key frame 50 and rotated the pendulum to -270 which is the opposite side to the starting point. I then used the graph editor to duplicate animation 3 times. In total their were 300 frames.

Here is another pendulum that we had to animate. This one was to show the pendulum swinging but with a follow through. This was done by moving the animation for each of the three little balls another key frame ahead on the graph editor. This means their will be a delay for each of the balls which means when the top ball has rotated around, in order from top to bottom, each ball will be rotated shortly after.
