Get started on animation

I've always been curious about how animations work and how one day I could be able to make one. One day I decided to look for 3d animation courses online and ended up paying for one that was rated as one of the best online courses. Here I leave a list that hopefully might get you get started.

 

 

First things first:

Download an animation software like the ones listed below(they're entirely free)

• Blender 3d
• Pencil2d 
• Synfig Studio(2d animation) 

Take a course that can help you get started:

• My favorite course from GameDev.tv

Software for texturing:

• Armor Paint
• Blender 3d
