Um bom workshop para animadores ampliarem seu conhecimento e aplicarem as técnicas 2D em modelos 3D.

Os princípios são muito bem explicados porém gostaria que tivesse mais exemplos e tempo de curso.

Recomendo ter em sua biblioteca!

Principles are explanied clearly. You can try to copy the character animation in the series to practice but if there were tasks (homework) given for each video it would be a 5 star course for a beginner.

It goes into details about the 12 principles of animation that makes me feel like a kid in drawing storyboards just like Walt Disney would use to do. I get more inspiration to want to draw storyboards with the 12 principles of animation. My goal is to do my own website for Full Sail University of doing the 12 principles of animation in Blender and Maya, using my own storyboard drawings.
