Introduction to 3D Character Animation: #2 - Setting Up (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

In this class, you will set up your environment so that you can start doing some character animation. You will also learn how we will approach animating realistic and believable 3D characters. You don't need to have any experience with any 3D software. However, it is recommended that you use the open-source 3D software Blender as that is what we will be using in this class. If you prefer your own 3D software, you will still be able to follow along and apply the principles in your preferred 3D software.

By the end of this class, you will have set up an environment that will prepare you to start animating 3D characters. You will also learn how we will approach the animation of realistic and convincing 3D characters.
