This is a fun, quick, and customisable bounce animation powered by geometry nodes. Squash and stretch any assets as they bounce into the scene! 

How does it work?

Append the Index Juggling node into your scene, select any collection, watch them bounce! 

The node works by first separating every object within your collection and sequentially animating each one to appear and bounce in place. 

You can customise the start frame, duration, bounce height, amount of squash and stretch, and the timing overlap between objects - all from the modifiers panel. 

In the geometry nodes window you can also directly adjust the curves to create your own unique animations, or use the set up as a foundation to build something bigger. 

There's no limit to the number of objects you can include - the node automatically adjusts for the size of your collection. 

Who is it for?
