The Ultimate Guide to Blender 3D Rigging and Animation [Video]

Blender is a powerful open-source 3D software suite that offers a wide range of features for modeling, rigging, texturing, animation, rendering, and more. It is widely used in the entertainment industry for creating animated films, visual effects, video games, and architectural visualizations. In this comprehensive course, you will learn essential skills for 3D rigging and animation. We will create animation projects, including tank tracks, fire, trees, and more. We will master character rigging, animating walk cycles, and creating realistic movements using Blender’s particle boid system. We will understand its interface and shortcuts and learn animation basics using keyframes. We will create handles and drivers for realistic tank track movement, textures, and smoothing animations with interpolation modes. We will explore building rigs, weighting bones, shaping key manipulation, animating wildlife, and morphing objects. We will delve into stylized effects, camera animation, rendering techniques, and animations in various environments. Upon completion, we will have a thorough understanding of 3D animation techniques, character rigging, walk cycles, and gain expertise in advanced techniques such as animating wildlife, morphing objects, and creating stylized effects. We will be able to confidently create 3D animations for future projects.
