Creating 3D Character Animation Using Blender

※ Students, please be sure to check the announcements (news). (Related materials are attached)

* Please check the news bulletin board to download the Blender 2.79b version required for training.

We would like to show you how to easily and simply create animations using Blender, a famous 3D modeling open source software, and 3D characters.

Blender offers a wide range of features, including animation, particles, texture painting, cloth simulation, and sculpting. It also includes its own cross-platform game engine, making it incredibly useful for mobile game development. One of the most striking features of Blender's UI is its 3D cursor.

This 3D cursor saves you a lot of work by allowing you to click on a polygon point with a single click, much like in an FPS game. It will then be instantly created, locking onto that exact point like a bullet. It can be set as the center of the viewport camera, temporarily storing the position of a specific object, or even defining a center axis when using proportional editing. We hope you'll explore the diverse and fascinating world of Blender step by step through this course.
