CGCookie – Fundamentals of Animation in Blender 2.8x

If you're a beginner looking to learn animation in Blender, this tutorial course is for you. We will start with the basics, working our way up to animating a simple scene. From frame rates to graph editor and a bouncing ball animation, you will master the essentials in no time.

In this course, we will teach you everything you need to know to start animating in Blender without being bogged down with having to learn character animation first.

(Don't get me wrong, character animation is great! But this course is your first step into animating in Blender 2.8x)

Here's what we'll cover in this beginner-friendly course:

keyframes and channels
interpolation
your animation timeline
graph editor and dopesheet
Mostly, you will learn how to animate objects and armatures (and the difference between the two).
