Creative 3D Animation in Blender

Start by getting to know your teacher, Paulo Filipe Souza. He talks about his career so far with a selection of his most-outstanding projects and shares his main artistic influences.

Then get stuck in by discovering the first stages of a 3D animation in Blender. See how to create and model 3D objects from scratch and learn the importance of adequate lighting and how to achieve it. Paulo explains how to add volume and texture such as shading to your creations and how to animate a 3D object using Rigging.

Now get started on your own 3D animation! With the help of your teacher, model a series of objects for your composition. Then, plan the camera angles and movements, lighting, and composition of each shot to guarantee that your story achieves its full visual and narrative potential. Paulo also teaches you techniques specific to animating your character and shows you how to apply Shaders to each object, as well as tricks for really making your project stand out from the crowd.

‌Wrap things up by learning all about postproduction and the final touches using After Effects and Blender compositing. If you want to create a static image, Paulo also walks you through how to edit stills in Photoshop. With all the tools to turn a simple idea into a one-of-a-kind 3D piece, it's time to introduce the world to your animations!
