Hi, my name is Harry! I’m a professional 3d artist with over a decade of experience. I’ve worked most recently as the Studio Director of an award winning architectural visualization studio.
In this class, I’ll be showing you how to model and animate this little guy!
I’ll walk you through the simple and beginner friendly process of creating a cartoon style bumblebee animation in Blender.
We’ll be going through the entire process of creating this bumblebee animation from a beginner’s perspective to avoid as much confusion as possible. That means I won’t be skipping any steps or going too fast for you to keep up with me.
We’re using Blender for this tutorial, which is an amazing and totally free 3d software. The only barrier to entry is having a computer to run the software on.You can download Blender completely free from blender.org
In this class you’ll learn:
Blender Interface and Tools: We’ll learn about the many basic tools and interface elements within Blender while creating our cartoon bumblebee.
Modeling: We’ll use basic modeling tools and modifiers such as mirroring and subdivision to create our bumblebee and environment.
Lighting: We’ll set up a simple sunlight to accentuate our cartoon shaders.
Shading: I’ll show you how to make colorful and stylized cartoon materials for our bumblebee and environment.
Animation: I’ll walk you through animating your bumblebee by using simple keyframing and modifiers like cycles.
Rendering: We’ll render our final image in Blender so you can share it with your friends and family on social media.
You’ll create:
A cute looping bumblebee animation in a cartoon style. You’ll be able to share this animation with your friends and family as both a video file and an animated GIF!
Our class project:
I’d like you to create a new looping cartoon animation with a unique design and share it with the class!
Here’s an example of what I created for my class project!
I’ll personally review every project uploaded to the gallery and give you feedback on what you’ve done fantastic, as well as anything that could use some adjustment.
I hope you’ll join me on this fun beginner’s journey through Blender by making your very own cartoon bumblebee animation!
