What the artists say
Daniel Zettl – Senior animator at Moon Studio
“In this high-end animation course Pierrick teaches you how to craft frame-by-frame physicality through understanding force and posing. A killer Blender-workflow with hotkeys, editors and tools will make you comfy in Blender and push beginners as well as veterans to 110% craft wise. A masterful one-stop-shop for every power animator.”
Zacharias Reinhardt – Founder and lead instructor at CGBoost
“This is one of the best Blender courses I have watched so far – period. Both, the way Pierrick is conveying the info, and how he presents it in nicely edited videos, is just perfect to understand the complex topic of animation. He is starting with the very basics and step-by-step guides us into learning how to create complex character animations. I really like the great practical examples, and that he is not only focusing on the technical aspect, but also how to study reference material and how to make the animations look and feel appealing. Pierrick really knows his craft, and how to pass his knowledge over to us. If you want to get into animation, this is the only course you will ever need. This is a true masterpiece – highly recommended!”
