Description

Hello! Are you ready to start your journey in 3D Animation? There's no better time than now! If your dream is to create amazing 3D animation for film, games, or even a Youtube series, this course is the best place to start!  In this course we'll be going over the fundamentals of animation and how we can incorporate these fundamentals in our 3D animations. This course is broken down into six sections; all of which will show you the pipeline of creating 3D animation from start to finish. We'll look at how to effectively plan your animation with sketches, moving on to blocking out the key poses in Maya, then polishing and finalizing the animation to make it look really good. Animation itself can be a tough subject to grasp at first. 3D animation can be even more challenging and intimidating because of the technical components you need to learn about the 3D software your using while still maintaining artistry and making your characters feel alive, unique, and believable. By the end of this course, you'll be confident enough to tackle more challenges related to 3D animation, whether it's creating a short film or animating a character with multiple appendages!
