Why Blender for animation?

Blender is free, open-source and powerful enough to compete with the most expensive professional tools. Flow, the award-winning feature film, was entirely made in Blender.

You'll learn a real method - timing, weight, anticipation, arcs, acting - that transfers to any other 3D software you touch later in your career.

30-day money-back guarantee

If the course is not for you, ask for a full refund within 30 days. No questions, no justification needed.

What you'll be able to do

Each module unlocks a concrete skill. By the end you'll be able to animate a full acting shot, with believable weight, timing and expression.

02Animate fluid, expressive cartoon movement
03Build a clean walk cycle and a run cycle
04Master keyframes, timing and interpolation
05Use the Graph Editor like a pro
06Apply squash & stretch and arcs

Rigs and models included

The course comes with the official Blender Foundation rigs Rain and Rex, so you can practice on the same production-quality characters used in Blender Studio shorts. Plus a dedicated forum to share your progress and get feedback.

This course isn't for everyone.

Animation takes practice. If you can't dedicate one to two hours per week to the exercises, skip this course. Watching videos isn't enough - you need to animate, fail, polish and animate again.

There is no magic recipe.

My goal is for you to be proud of what you build, not for you to buy a course you never open.
