What will you learn?

Interface

We’ll start by going over the Blender interface and understanding how to manipulate objects in our scene, then we’ll cover all major animation tools like the dope sheet, the graph editor, and learn how to create and use keyframes.

Setting Up a Scene

We'll set up a scene from scratch and do all the preparation for animating it, like importing a rig, creating a camera and getting the right settings set up for animation.

Animating a Shot

We’ll then jump in and actually animate an entire shot from start to finish. We’ll sketch the poses with the Blender grease pencil tool, block our shot, spline it, polish it, and see how all the tools we’ve learned are being used in production.

Render

When the shot is done, we’ll go over some render settings, just enough so you can export a great looking shot with minimal effort.

Super detailed, fast paced.

We hate long, dragged-out tutorials. We believe in bite-sized lessons with a clear structure that get straight to the point without skipping any important information. We’ll take you step-by-step through the program’s learning curve.

Animation training can get expensive.

Animation courses can be pricey, often in the thousands of dollars. These programs cover entire skill sets, including many topics you'll probably never use. Our courses are just the right size and very cost-effective, teaching exactly what you need to know to start animating right away.

Membership Shmembership

We don't follow the membership model most course platforms use to keep you paying every month. We give you lifetime access for a one-time payment.

I’ve never used this program before. Will I be lost?

This course was created assuming you’ve never used the program before. We go over all the basics to make sure you are able to follow along.

Yes, however I should mention that this course does not teach the concepts of animation, but rather shows you the tools and methods for animating with the software. Check out our Animation Foundations course for the basic principles of animation.
