@Nichod: You're right, my ball animations need some work, but realism isn't always necessary. Cartoons aren't often very realistic, but enjoyable nontheless.
I've come up with a bouncing ball animation that is more cartoony. Here is the animation, and here is a (kind of) explanation.
Based on this new knowledge, I made a totally new type of "bouncing ball", the dripping ball bounce (Moho source).
I will update any new (versions of existing) animations at this location, otherwise this thread would only contain references to my animations. I would like to see what other people have done as well.
