Overview
In this 3-part online workshop, we will run through the process of creating animations in Blender. Blender is a free and open-source 3D software with a large and supportive community of digital artists that work in a variety of fields. The first session will be familiarizing ourselves with the user interface, hotkeys and setting up the provided scene for animation. The second part will focus on animating 3D objects and exploring the camera and render options. The third part will be using grease pencil to add 2D elements to our 3D scene, as well as rendering and exporting our animations.
