What's inside

Not a finished render. A rig you can art direct.

Real-physics basketball drop

Gravity, bounciness, ball count, size and randomness, all on one Controls null.

Player name reveal

A per-character text animator plus a three-pass linear-wipe reveal: tint, fill, then the cutout.

Orbiting camera

Distance, height and tilt knobs. The balls always spawn just above what the camera sees.

3D look that keeps your shadows

Stacked-copy extrusion instead of real 3D, so your point-light shadows still work.

Impact camera shake

It watches every ball and shakes the frame by how hard each one lands.

Any sport, any team, any player

A reusable template: swap the logo, the colors, the player cutout and the names, and it's your graphic.

One template

Same rig. Any team.
