We’ll carry on exactly where we left off in the previous class, 3D Illustration in Blender, and it’s strongly recommended to complete that class first as this one assumes some familiarity with Blender.

That said, scene files for every lesson will be available so you’ll be able to jump in and get practicing animation techniques right away.

What you’ll learn:

Along with a liberal dose of shortcuts and tips, we’ll cover:

• • How to keyframe pretty much any value in Blender

• • How to keep your timeline as clean as possible to make it easy to use

• • Different interpolation types to alter the timing and feel of an animation

• • How to make animations loop

• • Mechanical rigging: creating a control system to make animation of multiple components a cinch.

• • Rendering: get to grips with some of the bewildering range of settings to get the cleanest final movie you can.
