Animation Craft

For 3D and 2D Animators

About this book

This book is for those who want to learn the craft or mechanics of animation, how to actually animate a scene from start to finish, or take their animation to the next level. Using over 600 examples, this book answers the questions about the craft of animation that are often not taught in schools or books.

Each chapter contains step-by-step examples explaining the principles of animation and how to avoid common problems that occur when animating. This book also teaches you how to critique an animated scene objectively, rather than subjectively — then fix what's wrong with it.

Animation Craft for 3D and 2D Animators will be a great resource for any beginner looking to learn the fundamentals of animation, or more experienced animators looking to hone their craft.
