Western Bouncing Balls西域弹球

3D Animation · Frame-by-Frame Animation · Stylized Rendering with Arnold / 1920 × 1080 px

Western Bouncing Ball is a one-minute stylized animated short that presents a playful narrative of two red and blue spheres meeting in a small town in the American West and unexpectedly encountering a UFO. The project is manually modeled in Blender, exported via FBX, and subsequently rigged and animated in Maya. Classical animation principles—such as Squash & Stretch and Anticipation—are employed, with Lattice deformation and Motion Paths used to enhance expressive motion and visual dynamism.

In terms of materials and rendering, the work utilizes Arnold’s aiToon shader in combination with Noise and Color Ramp nodes to construct a cohesive cartoon visual language. Post-production, including compositing, voice-over, and animated subtitles, is completed in Premiere and CapCut, resulting in a concise, rhythmically driven experiment in stylized Western storytelling.
