The last assignment was quite difficult because there's this ball with a tail attached to it. So we make it jump like a ball, in nice arcs and with squash and stretch. However, the tail has an influence on the rotation.



The image below shows how the ball follows its trajectory like any normal ball would :-) Notice that the tail is following this trajectory too, it's not stiff or making crazy things. And since it follows this arc, it pulls the ball a bit, so it dictates the rotation of the ball. Also observe that there's an inversion on the tail when it takes off and when it lands.




The whole trajectory the ball will be pulled by the tail. Here are some images that make it easier to see:
