Bring Your Characters to Life: 3D Animation Made Simple

Join me in this hands-on, beginner-friendly online class where we dive into the art of 3D animation. Whether you’re dreaming of animating your own characters or just curious about how it’s all done, this course breaks it down step by step, with real-world examples, easy-to-follow lessons, and a supportive environment. No intimidating jargon, just creative fun and practical skills you can actually use.

Course Content

Module 1: Introduction to 3D Modeling
Understand the basics of 3D modeling, industries using it, and various modeling techniques (polygonal, NURBS, sculpting).

Module 2: Rigging Basics
Learn rigging principles, including bones, joints, and controls, and how they contribute to character animation.

Module 3: Texturing Fundamentals
Explore texturing techniques, including UV mapping, diffuse, specular, and normal maps for enhancing model realism.

Module 4: Animation Principles
Master animation concepts like key framing, motion capture, and the 12 principles of animation to create dynamic movements.

Module 5: Lighting and Rendering Basics
Study lighting types, real-time rendering, ray tracing, and rendering tools for photorealistic output.

Module 6: General/Applied Topics
Understand the integration of modeling, texturing, rigging, and lighting for realistic 3D animation and storytelling.

Final Project/Assessment
Apply learned concepts to create a fully modeled, rigged, textured, and animated 3D character or object.
