More Information0:08

Requirements

You will need the application Blender (www.blender.org) installed. It is also recommend to have some video editing software such as HitFilms (https://hitfilm.com) and an audio recording application if you are going to record your own audio.

Description

In this course we will go through the basic us of Blender for 2D animation. This will include Modeling a plane, creating simple materials and using the animation tools. We will also be going through importing assets, such as .SVG files, aswell how to edit them so that you can use them in your scene.

We will then go from start to finish in creating the animation that comes with this course. Here, I will go through the process of colour schemes, recording audio and animating all the models to get a top notch result.

So please come with me, and enjoy this course.

Thank you
