A Football On A Ramp

More playing about with Blender. I haven't used softbodies in Blender for quite a while but, as I was showing my little boy how to use it, I got back into it.
Here's a football I made. Blender figured out all the bounciness and physics. I modelled the ball and the ramp.

And by flat i mean not enough air in it lol

@bogieman987 Intentionally flat, I might add. Gives the bounce more interest.

That is such a realistic movement, amazing stuff.

@sashadale Thanks, Sasha. Wish I could take credit for it but Blender does all the hard work with it's physics engine.

@dodgydavec Ah lol, usually footballs don't do that, well, unless you kick em hard enough, still cool though.... :)

[sashadale]

@dodgydavec that's impressive, might have to try out blender, although when it comes to 3D I am terrible lol

Cool, although, the ball looks a bit flat when it reaches the most bottom part of the bounce... lol
