Overview
“This lesson is packed with tedious processes, but in grasping these methodologies, you’ll have made your life easier in the future. Animating voxel art has some similarities to modern game animating but there are unique cases to the form itself you need to be aware of. I’ll indicate these little differences and you’ll quickly learn to master how best to rig voxel models! The rig we’ll be making is relatively simple but will contain many little parts. So sit with me and let’s make our future selves happy. ”

A course by Zach Soares
Zach is a French Canadian self-taught Voxel artist living in the UK. Although he has almost a decade of experience in working in the game industry, Zach initially studied Urban Design. While creating 3D designs for cities, he started exploring game design on the side, which spurred him to further explore and understand the world of game development through Voxel art.
His stylized and clean Voxel art has led him to work with many small-scale projects for indie developers, as well as for larger projects with clients like Hipster Whale. Zach works on freelance projects and is the creative director of his own studio Bunnyhug, currently creating their own game that is soon to be launched.
