For my animation assignment, I tried to explore the animation law of “squash and stretch”. To do this I decided to pay homage to one of my favourite shows growing up, “Dragon Ball Z”. In the show, the main character “Goku” has a signature move called a Kamehameha where a blue burst of chi energy is fired from his outstretched hands. I wanted to emulate the same movement using a similar code to last week’s “bouncing ball against the wall”, but tweaking it so the object can expand as it moves. Additionally, I used a 3d Sphere rather than an ellipse to experiment more with 3d objects in Processing.
