SKanimATE

Python3 project that focuses on the simulation of flatground skateboard tricks, generated via rotatioal cartesian transformations in the form of animated gifs.

Base N/Ollie Motion:

Tricks containing one rotational degree of freedom:

Tricks containing two rotational degrees of freedom:

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/Shellywell123/SKanimATE.git

python3 make_gifs.py

GIFs will appear in Images/gifs/ (Tricks orientations are all animated with respect to Regular stance)

Features in continuous development:

• skateboard component shapes
• N/ollie motion
• flip duration to catch time duration
• rendering of model parts overlapping incorrectly, may move from matplotlib to mayavi
• want to animate shoes to better illustrate stance
• goofy/switch/fakie to be added
