Animate a frog in Blender!

*Please bring your laptops, as this is a hands-on demo.

Watertown Public Library, Room: Lucia Mastrangelo Meeting Room

Description:

This event is run though the Boston Virtual Reality Meetup Group. This month, learn how to rig and animate a jumping frog! "Rigging" involves adding virtual bones to a model to deform it. Erik Nelson will show us how to create a simple model of a jumping frog named "Rigoberto Ribbito." He will then show us how to rig it using a bone armature. Finally, he will show us how to animate it jumping around using keyframe animation.

Erik Nelson is a six-year veteran in Blender 3D.

After the demo, people will have a chance to develop the project on their own, collaborate and network.

For those participating who are new to the world of Blender please-

• Bring your laptops and preferably a '3 button mouse'
• Download and install the latest version of Blender: https://www.blender.org/
• NOTE- You do not need to create an XR scene in Unity prior to this tutorial, this will only cover Blender.
