Introduction to Voxel Art for Character Design

Overview

“Now that we’ve made our character animation, we’re going to add a new layer of animation to the character through Frame Animation! Think of this as pixel animation through a stop motion process in 3D. This isn’t too long of a process, unlike the usual animation route, but it can come across as fairly technical. If you follow through my process you’ll realize how simple the whole idea is, and you will be free to add so much more expression to what you’ve already made. ”

It's a moment that allows you to add additional secondary animations, so we did do secondary animation in the animation lesson, but frame animation,...”
