Animate with flair: from simple motions to expressive character actions.
Craft awesome action sequences, including runs, jumps, and attacks.
Get your characters game-ready with quick and effective animations.
Export animations smoothly to breathe life into your game models.
Watch and learn as Grant acts out animations for real-world references.
Dive into advanced automated rigs for dynamic character movements.
About the course
Want to create amazing animations, just like you see on your favourite game characters?
In this course, you’ll bring your creations to life and learn how to rig and animate models and characters.
While the course is mainly character focused, the principles and tools you learn can be applied to animate anything in Blender.
By the end of the course you’ll be able to rig and animate characters ready for game engines, or anything else you want to use them for!
Plus you get the added bonus of seeing Grant acting out all these animations as a template for the movements :-)
The course is Blender 4 compatible, and will be updated if there are any changes to the way things work in Blender 4.1.
Perfect if you have a basic/reasonable understanding of the Blender interface (so at least a few hours of modelling and using blender under your belt) and also if you want to create animations for your games and game characters.
So what are you waiting for? Dive in now and start animating!

Grant Abbitt
Hi, I'm Grant!
I started learning blender in the late 90’s and started using it for some motion graphics work for a small film company that I ran.
I went into teaching which was meant more as a backup option when the film work was not so regular. The teaching gradually took over and I have been teaching now for around 15 years. I moved into teaching games design 6 years ago which rekindled my excitement for 3D animation. I then started to find bits and pieces of freelance work and created my YouTube channel Gabbitt Media.
Since then my channel has over 500,000 subscribers and I have worked on game models for the game Atlas Empires along with many other interesting projects from engineering to 3d printing.
