How to animate your 3D characters fast 🏃♂️
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
Our current “Inspiring Moments” 3D Animation Challenge is running for about two more weeks (learn more about it here).
You now might be at the stage where you animate your characters, which can be quite time-consuming.
This is why we share our new Blender tutorial, which teaches a great way to animate your characters quickly with free motion capture data.
In this video, Jim Morren (our new instructor at CG Boost), shares how you can download free motion capture data, and transfer it to your own custom rigged 3D character.
But Jim doesn't stop there, he also shows how to adjust the imported animations, and how to blend different animations together, so you can customize them to your own needs.
This is Jim's first video at CG Boost, show him some love, if you find his video helpful. ❤️
Enjoy!
~Zach

My friend Brian Kouhi (a professional animator and founder of ToAnimate) shared a full 1-hour-long lesson on making a walk cycle...
Hey Reader, Zach here, If you are struggling to find the motivation to learn 3D, or if you have abandoned projects and courses half way, you are most definitely not alone. In fact, I believe it is the most common struggle all artists go through. This also happened to Tetiana Markov, one of our passionate CG Boost students and challenge participants. We were very excited to interview her, to share her story of how she overcame all kinds of self-doubt and got her work featured on Blender Nation...
Hey Reader, Zach here, For the past 6 years, our tutor Martin Klekner has been hard at work, exploring all the possible ways to create epic 3D environments in Blender. As a personal challenge, he tried it without the use of any paid add-ons, the results of all his research he accumulated in his Master 3D Environments in Blender course. 3D scenes you learn to create in the environment course. As Martin’s challenge and his course prove - making awesome, grand scale landscapes in Blender is...
