Creating Animated Shorts with the Power of AI
What you’ll learn
Learn how to use AI in your Blender animation workflow to create a full animated short.
Learn how to use AI for story, reference images, motion capture, 3d scanning, texturing, sound design & more.
Learn how to create a full animated short in Blender from story, modeling, rigging, texturing, environment creation, animating to music & sound effects.
By the end of this course you will have created a full ANIMATED SHORT and learned the skills from A-Z to do so while incorporating AI into your workflow.
