Description
Hello all, this is the free version of my Opentoonz course. Opentoonz is a high quality and feature-rich animation suit that has been free and open source since 2016 and has been used by studios such as Studio Ghibli and Rough Draft Studios.
In this course we will cover the following topics:
Get started using the basic drawing tools
Create frame-by-frame animations
Importing assets and exporting
Learn about advance animation tools like:
Motion and shape tweening
Special effects
Adding sound effects
Rigging a character
Using the plastic tool for animating flexible objects
Lipsyncing
The only down side to Opentoonz is that the learning curve can be quite steep. But don't worry! In this course we will go over everything you need to know to get started.
This course contains both 'explainer' videos which provide a lot of information as well as practical exercises designed to help the learner consolidate and remember the information and turn the passive knowledge into a valuable skill.
This course is perfect for people who are interested in taking the first steps in animation and don't want to spend much on high monthly license fees.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for people who are interested in create fun and colourful animations.
- This course is about using the software opentoonz. It is not a course on learning the art of animation.

Hi, my name is Paul and I am an IT teacher and an engineer. As a teacher / engineer I can combine my strong technical background with the experience I gained in passing on skills and knowledge to my students.
As a teacher I believe that it students learn better when they are learning actively. That's why I include a lot of practice exercises in my courses.
In addition to my day job I absolutely love digital illustration!
