3D animation horizontal bar

January 13th, 2009 | Gymnastics, horizontal bar, sport science

UPDATE: The creator Anton explains that the odd skill that looks like Def was an accident. (He originally intended it to be a Geinger, but it did not turn out that way.)

SavaToxa used 3ds Max (formerly 3D Studio MAX) software to create this routine.

haha that is a pretty awesome routine. Very cool

That’s fabulous. I used to make routines on powerpoint! They look nothing like these. I love the grip changes – and the swing rhythm – really accurate! Well done.

does the 4th release skill done in that routine actually exist? I am sure it does, but I have not seen it before.

I think that’s meant to be a Def, which is a G skill…I think the “camera” angle just makes it look weird. I know Severino and Le Pennec and Hristakeva (sp?) all did it for women’s UB

Yeah, it’s a Def (1/1 geinger).

Anyway, pretty awesome rendering they can do now. Rhythm looked pretty good as Kate said.

I don’t which to be more in awe of; the gymnastics or the rendering..? Great job on both!

oh wow…I gues it is a def….definitely looks strange in the video…definitely an awesome job though

I don’t think it is a def, I think it is just a hop 1 and a half. He doesn’t rotate at all.

I guess it is a def, but when I first viewed it thought it was one of those twist without flip releases.

who wants to figure out the start value? haha

I think I’m turning into too much of a pedantic codefreak; the thing that jumped out at me the most was that he had too many release skills; the 5th one wouldn’t count for anything.

ANYWAY, this is really cool. It would be interesting to see if this could be turned into some sort of routine-animator program that could work for any routine; odds are that would be REALLY hard to program, though.

About 4-th release — i made mistake making animation, i whanted to make gienger, but made only twist with hand release without salto )))

I guess it’s like that popular UB movement in the 70s…Tourisheva sticks out in my mind as one who did it – only her hands remained close to the bar.
