Catalog description

In this course, students learn the foundation of animation in 3D using pre-built rigged assets to focus on key poses, timing, expression, exaggeration, and weight to create compelling movement cycles in various styles and sequences with 3D assets. Students will explore body mechanics to create convincing movement with 3D rigged character assets, and then push it beyond reality to make exaggerated movements come to life. Students learn the process of posing for facial expression, dialog, lip syncing from key poses to 3D animatics and polished movement sequences. Students will render out their animation work to build their professional reel.
