ANIM-350-SU32-2025: Special Topics in Animation
Intro to Blender FX
This course will cover the basics of Blender, as well as more intermediate techniques with a focus on stylised FX and hybrid 2.5D animation. We will be exploring hand-drawn, intuitive ways of working, and the main tools covered include grease pencil, modifiers, geometry nodes, scripting, rendering with Cycles/EEVEE, and the Blender in-engine compositor.
As experimental animation continues to advance in the mainstream and independent industries, we will also be covering how to utilise 2D animation principles (such as flash frames, brush strokes, and smears) in a 3D software.
