Welcome to character rigging and animation in Blender
This course covers the entire process of character modelling, rigging, animation, and rendering in Blender. We'll walk you through each stage and explain the tools required, plus handy tips and related information.

In the first section we'll create the character model, then we'll rig the character, we'll next animate a walk cycle with additional actions, and finally we'll look at lighting and materials and complete the final render.

If you're new to Blender, we recommending checking out our course 'A Complete Guide to 3D Modelling in Blender' to familiarise yourself with the programme before jumping into animation.

You'll be provided with the Blender files to refer back to if ever you get stuck and sketch references for the character to help you.
