What You Will Learn?

  • In this class we will take an already drawn character, break down the layers, import to Character Animator and set up the file so it's animation ready..
  • With Character Animator, you can control your character with a web cam, microphone, mouse and keyboard making the process of animation come to life. It's kind of like putting on a puppet show as you record and use pre-made actions to create the action. It's easy, useful and fun!.
  • Once you complete this class you will have a character you can animate and share with the world. Or perhaps you'd like to build a production around the character? I have more tips for animation and other cool techniques coming soon to this platform!.
