Learn how to create and animate 2D game characters in Blender, for use in the Unity Game Engine. In this course for intermediate users, Alan Thorn outlines a solid, step-by-step workflow for building, mapping and animating appealing game characters that perform well and work effectively in a game engine. See how to model precisely from imported reference images to make an interesting character. Learn how to unwrap and texture character models using Blender’s powerful mapping tool-set. Then explore how to rig and configure your character, complete with Inverse Kinematics, to create realistic motion. And then animate a walk cycle for your character, which can be repeated seamlessly. Finally, see how to import your character to the Unity engine for performance in-game. By the end of this course you’ll understand a flexible and powerful workflow for making 2D characters that bring your games to life…
