Book Description:
Completely free and open source, Blender, with its supportive community and powerful feature set, is an indispensable tool for creating 3D animations. However, learning the software can be a challenge given the complexity of its interface and the intricacies of animation theory.
If you want to venture into 3D animation but don't know where to start, Realizing 3D Animation in Blender is for you. Adopting a practical approach, this guide simplifies the theory of 3D animation and the many animation workflows specific to Blender. Through detailed exercises and a sharp focus on the animation process, this book equips you with everything you need to set out on your path to becoming a 3D animator. It's much more than just an introduction; this book covers complex concepts such as F-Curve modifiers, rigid-body physics simulation, and animating with multiple cameras, presented in an easy-to-follow manner to avoid common pitfalls encountered by novice animators.
By the end of this Blender 3D animation book, you'll have gained the knowledge, experience, and inspiration to start creating impressive 3D animations on your own.
What You Will Learn:
- Become well-versed with the simple rules of keyframing and interpolation
- Understand the function and behavior of Blender's animation curves
- Bring a character to life with Blender 3D character animation
- Utilize multiple cameras and the video sequence editor for advanced shot composition
- Get to grips with Blender's mysterious non-linear animation tool
- Explore advanced features such as physics simulation and camera techniques
Who this book is for:
This book is for anyone seeking guidance in the world of 3D animation using Blender. Whether you're an aspiring 3D animator, a beginner or intermediate-level Blender user, or a visual media producer looking to expand your skill set, this resource will prove invaluable. As long as you have basic familiarity with Blender and have the software already installed on a computer that meets system requirements, you're ready to dive into this book. While prior experience with Blender's animation tools is not necessary, having at least modeled a scene, added simple shading and lighting, and rendered a few still images will be beneficial.
