Animation Fundamentals Vol 1

This tutorial course introduces animation fundamentals in Blender for beginners, focusing on essential keyframing techniques and the core principles of animation. The course uses a hybrid learning format combining video tutorials with interactive screenshots, allowing you to work through each step at your own pace without struggling to keep up with video playback.

The course covers practical animation exercises including a Newton's Cradle to master keyframe basics and weight simulation using the graph editor, an alarm clock to explore rotation orders and transform modes, a bouncing ball to learn control objects and squash-and-stretch techniques, and a procedural turret rig to understand constraints and drivers for automating complex animations. Each project builds your skills in creating believable, dynamic motion sequences.
