Combining Complex Animation With NLA In Blender

Hello and welcome to the “Combining Complex Animation With NLA In Blender” video course. Over the next 45 minutes, you’ll discover how to merge multiple animation actions into a single animation strip using Nonlinear Animation (NLA) in Blender 3D. This workflow is designed to streamline your creative process by avoiding unnecessary repetition of setting keyframes or reposing actions that are repetitive in your scene.

By the end of this course, you will:

• Gain an understanding of nonlinear animation
• Learn how to plan animation shots for nonlinear animation, making NLA usage more efficient
• Master the technique of combining action strips with nonlinear animation
• Acquire skills in blending animations using nonlinear animation

What’s Included:
