Description

Do you want to create spectacular animation out of static picture? Or animation like in Spine 2D? Or maybe you want to create your own motion-comic?

The «Cut-out animation in Blender» course will help make your dreams come true!

Blender is a powerful software for animation. You can download it absolutely for free and use without any limitations. As usual it’s used for creating 3D cartoons, what takes a lot of efforts and time. But few people know about a great plug-in CoaTools. The plug-in gives us opportunity to create simple, but impressive 2D-animation from static pictures with least expenses of efforts and time.

The same technique was used for creating “Pepper & Carrot” motion-comic (You can find it on YouTube), where I took part in.

In this video course I summarise my experience to help you with creation such an animation.

You will learn:

  • How to install and configure required applications.

  • How to prepare your picture for animation.

  • How to import the picture to Blender correctly.

  • How to create a character rig.

  • How to fine tune the skeleton deformation and bones influence on the picture.

Who this course is for:

  • For one who wants to turn static artwork into impressive animations.
  • For one who wants to learn how to create 2D animation in Blender.
