Udemy – Making an Animated Short Film with Blender
English | Size: 5.9GB
Category: Tutorial


In this course, we will go through the process of creating an Animated short film.
We will start of with how I find inspiration in every day activities, and how to evolve a story so that it will be interesting. From here we will record the reference footage which will be our story board. We will then go into ways of finding locations to tell the story. Next we will focus on sourcing 3D characters and assets from different applications and sources to find the one that suits you. Next we will focus on modeling and texturing the environment. I will go through the basics so that you will get a greater understanding of how to use the 3D application Blender. Once the environment is created, we will then go through the process of creating the actual animation. Here I will show you tips that I use to create the best possible animation with what ever skill level you have. Once we have decided that the animation is as complete, we will go through critiquing and the final polish. We will add sound for the final touch and our short film will come alive.

Pluralsight – Animating a Short Film in Maya and Unreal Engine

Preparing animation and assets for use in a real-time engine takes a different workflow than one might be used to working with in a normal render engine like Mental Ray. It comes with it’s own set of challenges and things to work around, but ultimately the ability to render in real-time makes any of these issues worth it. Unreal Engine can become an invaluable tool, particularly if you don’t have access to a render farm, by letting you create fantastic visuals with relatively modest hardware. [Read more…]
