Animation Interface: Auto Key and Set Key Modes. Speed of motion in animation. Move, delete, and copy keyframes. Linking objects. Creating Preview animation. Curve editor, animation of linked objects, animation of the object by the given path, camera animation along the specified path. Rigging geometrically simple models like the Pixar lamp. Rigging without bones. Rigging with bones. Inverse Kinematik and Forward Kinematik. Animation of Pixar's lamps with direct and inverse kinematics. Creating animation of an animal that has an easy movement mechanism, like a caterpillar. In this example, the creation of bones, layers, controllers, and connection of the model geometry (Mesh) with bones (Skinning) is presented. Creating Point Helpers. Creating simple simulations: flag on the wind, splitting of the fabric, creating a deformed pillow and simulation of leafing on the tree. Using various rendering software: Mental ray, Renderman and VRay.
