Convert Your Animations For Stereoscopic Viewing
“Our sister site Aetuts+ today posted a new tutorial that covers the process of setting up your 3D animations for red/blue anaglyphic viewing! So if you have some stereoscopic glasses to hand and want to give it a try, why not head over and check it out! Preview and link after the jump…”
Tip: Simplify Animation Curves
“In this quick Blender 2.5 video tip we demonstrate how to simplify messy animation curves using one of the new Addons in Blender 2.53. This video also demoes using the Record feature in Blender to keyframe the live movement of an object.”
Step-by-Step: How to Make an Animated Movie
“In this in-depth article, Pratik Gulati walks us through the many stages involved in creating an animated movie from scratch, whether it be the next Hollywood blockbuster or the shortest of short films. So if you’re thinking about trying it yourself and want to know how it’s done, or even if you’re just curious about the process, this article is one you don’t want to miss.
“The production pipeline of a typical animated short or a movie can be divided into three stages : pre-production, production and post-production. In this article we will be discussing these three key stages in detail.”

Create a Jumping Lamp Animation in C4D – Day 1
“This tutorial is a relatively quick overview of setting up a scene with a rigged animated object in Cinema4D. Although it should be simple to follow along to anyone with a basic knowledge of Cinema 4D, this tutorial is mainly aimed at artists migrating to Cinema4D from another package. It quickly and concisely demonstrates how to use the basic modeling tools, set up a rig with bones, use constraints, change the type of keyframes, use the auto keyframe tool, clean up keyframes, work with the time line, set up lights, set up materials, apply the materials to objects and render out an animation. Everything you need to quickly get into Cinema4D.”
Create this animation with Cgtuts’ screencast tutorial Create a Dynamic Shattering Text Animation in Maya
“The Maya shatter effect can be a useful technique to know, but if used incorrectly, it can also cause many headaches due to slow simulation and interpenetration issues. In this tutorial we will go over some different methods of dealing with the shatter effect to create a faster and more reliable workflow, which can be used in a variety of different scenarios.”
