The animation team at Blender Animation Studio is producing a “learn by example” course that will gradually introduce you to the core principles of character animation, starting from a simple bouncing ball, all the way up to full-featured character acting.

This is an ever-expanding training, expect more chapters and examples to be added in the future!
