3d animation is an art, it is not a technique that can be studied in two hours. It is an art that has to be practiced in order to achieve enchanting results. So how a professional 3d animator differs from other 3d animators that are not so great? Each great 3d animator acts strangely once in a while. He can creep, jump, run and make faces, most of it in front of the mirror. This happens when he acts like his subject of animation. So the artist is trying to comprehend the gist of his animation. The funny thing is that the object to animate is seldom a human; it can be a dog, a cow or even a monster. By doing this the animator better understands how the character moves, where the center of mass is, what part of the body will start moving first and what arm will follow. A great animator is actually experiencing the animation, he is living the emotions and sentiments of his character. This is how you create moving 3d animations not by using a method. 3d character animation is something that you must definitely try.
