In today’s tutorial I’m going to go through the entire process of creating an animation from a sketch on paper to the final render. I’ll specifically be going through the workflow I used for my animation ‘Nothing To Fear’. Let’s jump in!

In her career as an animator, Angie Taylor has developed some powerful techniques for creating quick but compelling 2D animation, and in this workshop she shares those secrets with you. You’ll learn how to import layered files and paths from Illustrator into After Effects and how to animate flat vector artwork in both 2D and 3D space, and you’ll explore options for outputting your animations. The videos are short, focused, and solution-oriented, and all the project files are included so you can follow along as you go.

Learn best practices for creating key frame animation and animation on a path as well editing your animation and animation layers among other topics. You’ll learn by direct example as Justin creates animations on a fully rigged character. The process is presented from initial concept to key poses and final animation polish.

Character Animation Fundamentals in 3ds Max demonstrates the basic principles of character animation that help bring simple 3D characters to life. Starting with an overview of the character rig, author George Maestri provides guidelines for creating strong poses and explains how to animate from pose to pose in an organized fashion.

The 3D character ManCandy has been created by Bassam Kurdali for testing and teaching animation techniques. Over the past year it has become a wonderfully flexible character, deserving to become the first of the titles in the Open Movie Workshop series.

In this tutorial, we will learn about the animation process of the transforming robot. Throughout these lessons, we'll cover the workflow used to animate the robot while breaking down each stage of the performance from beginning to end. We'll also modify the robot's rig with add-ons for more control. By the end of the course, you'll have the understanding needed to animate your own transforming robot.
