ANIMALS Animation
Animate like a master!
Play Introduction Videoper participant
So you know how to make your characters walk, jump, and run? Then it’s time to learn how to animate quadrupeds.
The main goal is cultivating the animator’s creature animation instincts and skills. This advanced course in CGI animation style will expand your job prospects in film, VFX, and games. It is crème de la crème in our training catalog. Don’t miss your chance!
Before jumping into making the animal move, an animator needs to know/decide as much as he or she can about the natural behavior of the creature from video referencing. Nailing down these attributes and sticking to them will inform everything about how they will be posed, gestures they will make, and how they will ultimately move. Direct/indirect, strong/light, sudden (quick) / sustained, etc.. These are clear choices we can make for every animal before a pose is created. Taking a look at lots of live-action references, you will use this language to describe and interpret action acting for ourselves.
You will then use Maya and focus on animating the animal action itself as a real animated shot in 3D.
Intermediate 3D character Animators seeking to boost their creature animation skills or character animators hoping to move into creature animation segment.

You can consider junior-level opportunities as a 3D character animator upon completion of the course.
The advantage of this course, as compared to online training, is that you will get direct interaction with the mentor, with dedicated answers, tailored to your needs. This will not only give you the chance to build on your own strengths quicker, but also to lean out and clarify immediately the concepts that would otherwise take days to grasp.
You will also benefit from a strong interaction with other students. Having different views on how to tackle a problem is key in learning this software, as more often than not, there are many different ways to achieve the same thing in Houdini. So this will give you the chance to challenge yourself with each other and learn faster and more efficiently.
