Hi, I'm Anton Blake, your mentor for The Animal Behaviour Course. I put together the online version of this course 6 years ago and have now constructed this offline version meaning you have the flexibility of doing it at your own pace. I hope you enjoy it, happy animating!
This course is both for people wanting to learn quadruped animation or just brush up and get a few tips and tricks along the way as well as building confidence and clarity when animating creatures.
Broken up into three modules you will start with a walk cycle. You will then learn how to apply this to a shot then finally polish it up and add all the subtle nuances making your animation come to life.
By the end of the course you will be able to create solid, believable quadruped walk cycles that stand out and be able to apply the same thinking to other creature motion.
Whether you're brushing up on your skills or expanding into creature animation, this course gives you a clear, practical foundation to build on.
