    Anonymous asked: hiii ....can u tell me process of animating pendulam.......i have a big prob in so please help

    In a pendulum animation, there are two things to focus on.

    1. At the height of the pendulum swing, there is both an ease in and ease out. Eases are one of the principles of animation and should never be ignored. Whenever there is a change of direction no matter how slow or fast the object is moving, there should always be a deceleration of speed at the top of the upswing and an acceleration of speed at the downswing.
    2. Another principle of animation is overlapping action.  The best way to describe this is to take a string and swing it from side to side.  Different parts of an object will move or cycle at different rates based on the construction of the object (or its hierarchy).  Basically the bottom of the string will reach the apex of the swing after the rest of the string.  The tip of the string should make a figure 8ish shape.

    I hope this makes sense.  If I get a chance, I will post a quick animation of what I am talking about.
