Share Description
In this course, you will learn:
- First, get familiar with the fundamentals of the interface and animation options.
- Then, learn how to clone objects, extrude text, and use effectors.
- Next, see how to place objects along with points and edges, change keyframe parameters, adjust the camera, and generate previews.
- Find out how to modify objects and surfaces using lighting, rendering, and compositing options. Additionally, explore the spline modeling tools, motion graphic materials, and type tools.
