Hi! I’m Shane and I have been using and teaching 3D Modelling & Animation as well as Game Development to beginners like you for over 10 years!

In this class you will learn everything you need to know to create your own video game camera. I’ll show you the whole process, beginning with modelling before moving onto rigging, animation and then setting the character up in the game engine. Other classes will only cover one of these important sections, but this class covers the whole workflow – EVERYTHING you need to know.

The software used for this class are Autodesk Maya & Unreal Engine 4. If you want to follow the class effectively is best that you use these applications but the principles are transferrable to any similar software such as Blender, 3DS Max & Unity3D.
