Course Description

Overview

Learn to bring your 3D characters to life with animation! In this Skillshare class, you will learn animation basics in Blender 3D and animate a character! Your project will be creating an animation with the course character or any that you choose to use. We will be using Blender 3D, a free open source software to create our character in 3D. You will be guided through the basics of the interface and the animation process.

This course will cover skills traditionally used in animation, motion design, and video game design.

We will be optimizing workflow for speed and efficiency. No prior knowledge is necessary, but the course will move quickly through Blender’s interface. Some familiarity with Blender’s interface will be helpful. If you're brand new to Blender or need a refresher, I'd recommend checking out the class in the class resources before getting started. The course will talk through some animation basics, but this course assumes you are aware of animation basics. I’ve linked to a principles of animation course in the resources if you need help.
