Beginners Guide: Learn The Basics Of Character And Object Animation

by Harry Helps in Training


Hello, and welcome to a Blender animation class that’s truly out of this world! I'm Harry Helps, a seasoned 3D artist with over a decade of professional experience and specialize in Blender tutorials!

In this class, we'll be learning all the basics of creating a fun UFO animation featuring a rigged character! Whether you’re brand new to character animation, or you’ve followed some of my previous animation classes, there should be something for everyone to learn in this class!

My Blender classes are well-regarded for their clarity and ease, thanks to a step-by-step approach that's perfect for beginners. In this class, we’ll start with a pre-made starter file as the foundation for our animation. The starter file comes fully modeled, textured, and lit, so you won’t have to spend time on those aspects before you start animating the characters. This class will focus entirely on animation, allowing us to dive into the basics and explore some advanced techniques.


I’ve also included a handy cheat sheet filled with important keyboard shortcuts, that you can reference during the class and in the future!


In this class, you'll learn:

 • Object level animation basics

 • Rigged character animation

 • Animation modifiers

 • Manual keyframing and Auto Keying

 • Principles of timing and animation

 • And more!

By the end of class, you'll create:
