[PITCH] Animations in Blender

[Adam Samalik]

Hey everyone,

I'd like to share my experience of making simple animations in Blender and
exporting a video out of it. I'm not a 3D designer, so please don't expect
making beautiful things. But I can definitely promise things that move —
even though they might be a little ugly.

For example, I've made this video in Blender: https://youtu.be/5VQljp1p_ok

I would cover:

* basics of the Blender UI
* making simple shapes in Blender
* keyframes — the basic concept of animation in Blender
* making an actual animated scene
* exporting a video

I'm not sure if this would be one article or a series, I would need to
start writing and see what happens. So this could be one article, or a
short series.

How do you like my idea?

Cheers!
Adam

PS: If someone on the other hand knows how to make beautiful 3D models in
Blender, we could do a series together maybe? But that would be a stretch
goal for me.

I'd definitely like to see such article series. More to
that, if you'd
have some ready to use examples that I could load in Blender and
recreate your work as result of reading through the series and playing
with them.

I think the series would be a great contribution, so thank you in
advance. ;)
