Creating a Finished Character Animation in Blender 2.9

- Hi, I'm David Andrade, and welcome to my Blender course on animating a character. In this course, we will explore the magic of character animation by combining the techniques of acting and video reference, which is why I'm on set. We will use the free animation software Blender to bring life to our character Arthur by combining the principles of animation with a solid workflow to get the work done. First, we will explore the initial process of character animation: planning and video reference. Next, we begin the meat and potatoes of the animation process. We will explore specific techniques for animating Arthur's body, face and arms. Finally, we will explore how to make your scene pretty with a basic overview of lighting and render settings to make your character pop. Plus, we'll explain a little bit about the post-production and assembly of the final movie. - [Man] Well, I'd like to see you try it. You wouldn't last one day. - Dude, I serve a society by rocking, okay. I'm out there on the front lines liberating people with my music rocking. Ain't no walk in the park, lady. - This course assumes you know basic knowledge of computer graphic concepts and have a working knowledge of Blender. Ideally, you've watched a Blender Essential Training course taught by George Masonry. I love inspiring new animators and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Let's get animating.
