Hello Manu! Would it be possible to make the ball boys move their heads and follow the ball, similar to how the umpire does? I imagine it might not be too difficult to implement, but of course I could be wrong.

I also noticed one extremely minor detail with the umpire’s ball tracking. When a player is bouncing the ball on the ground before serving, the umpire follows it and moves his head up and down with each bounce. It looks a little unnatural, since an umpire probably wouldn’t follow the ball that closely during the pre-serve routine.

Just a couple of small details I thought might be worth mentioning. 🙂.

This should should be doable with the IK plugin.

Hello,

the ballboys, unlike the line judges, are not rigged : they are not animation-ready, so it'd not be very fast to do that.
