This video tutorial teaches the fundamentals of 3D character animation in Blender, specifically tailored for video game development. It guides users from the basic principles through to the final creation of four essential game actions: idle, run, jump, and attack.
The curriculum covers configuring keying sets, modifying the timeline, and preparing a rig for movement. It demonstrates techniques such as copying and inverting poses, resetting rig poses, and applying the 12 principles of animation. Viewers will also learn how to create seamless animation loops, manage camera angles, apply exaggeration, and understand the difference between looping and trigger-based animations.
