Comprehensive animation course: principles, objects, characters

Thu, 18 Oct 2018 14:34:27 +0200

Character rigging with Duik and After Effects is one thing, but one other thing is animation!
It's time to learn how to make characters move, and even better, to give them a soul and a heart, to animate them!

In this very complete video course, I'm sharing my experience as an animator with you.
You'll learn:

how to think to prepare your animation,
practical and technical tips and tricks to get nice and precise motion at first,
then, how to characterize the characters, to give them their soul, intentions, and temperament.

Pardon my French!
Please, keep in mind that I'm French and I live in France, so recording this tutorial is not easy ;) Please pardon my hesitations and my accent!
If you understand French, it's available in French here.

In this comprehensive animation course

We're going to focus on animation, on motion.
This course is not very technical: I won't talk about character setup, (other courses are and will be available for this) and I won't talk much about how to use After Effects animation tools - I just explain a little bit the important Graph Editor at the beginning of the course.
That means you should know at least a little how to use After Effects before following this course!

These are a few prerequesites (this list is not exhaustive) :

Having some knowledge about keyframes and eases (types and how to use)
Having (tried to) use the Graph Editor
Knowing the important keyboard shortcuts ("P", "U", "R", "W", "V" etc.)
Knowing what the "shy mode" is and what it does on layers

This being said, this course is made for beginners in animation.

As this course already lasts more than 8 hours, I'm talking about "semi realistic" animation only, somewhere between cartoonish and realisitic, but with these basics you can then practice other styles of animations.
I would have like to talk about the "animation exposure" too, something originally used in traditionnal animation but which can be very interesting when animating with softwares and rigs too.
All these matters may be covered in another tutorial one day...

The nice characters used in this course were designed by my talented friend Justine Cunha. Watch her work here or on Instagram!
The character rigging has been made by Léa Saint Raymond and myself, using an early version of Duik Bassel.

All these files are available with the course.
I wish you a nice course, and I can't wait to see your animations!

Writing better CSS with LESS

Mon, 14 Sep 2015 21:08:08 +0200

What is LESS and Why to use it

Less is a superset of CSS and a pre-processor programming language, often referred as "Dynamic CSS".

LESS syntax is modelled after traditional CSS
LESS compiles into standard CSS3
LESS allows you to extend your CSS with great features such as : Variables for faster maintenance, Mixins as re-usable objects, Nesting for a cleaner stylesheet structure, Math calculations with the Operators.
Less code and more work done !

While CSS is a great language, it has its limitations.
For example, if you have a color code used multiple times in your stylesheet, you need to edit this one multiple times to update your design. Very tedious process!
LESS is great for the following reasons. :

Allows to cut down one code and save time
Reduce repetition (DRY) and mistakes
It makes logical sense to break out CSS into multiple files with the feature

Every web developer or front-end UI engineer should use LESS over traditional CSS

What you will learn in this LESS video tutorial :

In the first section, you will :

learn how to define Variables for faster maintenance.
learn how to declare Mixins as reusable objects
learn about Nesting for a cleaner stylesheet structure.
learn how to perform mathematical calculations with the Operators

On a more advanced level, we will discuss about:

Built-in functions
Parametized and Guardes mixins
The @import directive to include external stylesheets in one single document.

In a last chapter, you will apply what you have learned with a hand-on project.

The objectives of this course is to help you

create smarter and cleanerer stylesheets,
cut down on code,
keep your code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and organized.

By the end of the course :

you will understand how to use the LESS features and compile the less stylesheets into standard CSS
you will understand how to easily integrate mixins libraries as well as external resources such as Font Awesome and Google Font into your project.
You will also be able to install and use the application SimpLESS to compile your less files into beautiful CSS. (SimpLESS is a GUI application for Less and Sass compilation. It is simple to learn for first-time users and it is compatible with both PC and MAC)

With this video course, learn to take your CSS to the next level and write better styling code. With several demonstrations and examples. you will see the power of the pre-processor language.

Cinema 4D Complete : Vol. 3 Unleash the power of Mograph!

Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:11:43 +0200

The third volume of the complete training unleashes the power of Mograph!

But what is Mograph exactly ?

This is the toolset that made Motion Design so popular.
In the 2000es Maxon introduced Mograph, which was then just a module, and has become over time a key element of Cinema 4D.

Mograph allows you to create eye-opening, mesmerizing, gorgeous looking animation very easily. Its modular approach makes it very simple to just add element of design on top of each other and achieve beautiful result very quickly.
I’m Lionel VICIDOMINI, a Maxon Certified Instructor, Maxon Master Trainer and Motion Designer based in Paris, France. I believe that in order to truly master a software you have to learn it by the details. I have created this series of training, to create a video manual of Cinema 4D and to be the most thorough possible while being entertaining.

In this training we will explore everything that Mograph can do, and that is a lot !

How Mograph works fundamentally, the core concepts behind it
A complete library of all the effectors and how to use them
An in-depth exploration of the fields, and how to combine them with the effectors
All the Mograph Generators, such as the Voronoi Fracture which can shatter any object into tiny pieces
How to combine Volumes and Fields to produce stunning imagery
Master the Vertex Map fields, which can create incredible growth systems, generating organic, living shapes

The last chapter offers several in-depth workshops, with almost 4 hours of in-hands practical exercises. In these workshops you will create :

A fully procedural, auto-animated clock! Look, mom, no keyframe!
Model a Barrel Generator: Donkey Kong will be jealous. With control over the number of planks, their thickness, the curvature of the bulge etc...
Make dominos tumble, any way you want !
Create a wall of cube, creating a transition between two textures. Ideal for corporate Motion Graphics
Design an intricate transition made of intersected hexagons. Convert it to an animated, seamless, never-ending background
Pile up legos to create a stunning logo! Animate the build-up!
The Fractured Sphere will create a mesmerizing look, of slow motion debris flying to nothingness
Make dripping droplets of condensation accumulate on a can of beer !

I have designed this training as a video manual, with short sections, packed with information. It is not mandatory to watch all the videos ! You can watch them as you wish, along your journey into Mograph, as needed. You can very well jump straight ahead to the final chapter, the workshops, and go back to studying videos about specific tools used in the exercises.
This training is perfect for beginners, who will need to learn all the fundamentals of Mograph, as well as for more advanced users who will be delighted by the depths of details for every video and with the intricate workshops at the end of the training.

This training has been recorded on R23 but can be followed very easily in newer and older version, going back to R20. It is not recommended for older releases (R19 and below) because of the fields which were introduced in R20 only.
It is not required to have followed the first two volumes of the series, but it can greatly help, especially if you are new to 3D.
