In this sequence of six courses, you'll learn the fundamentals of Blender by creating a simple animation: a bouncing ball. This is a classic first project for beginner animators because it's deceptively complex. It covers many of the 12 principles of animation, such as arcs, squash and stretch, and exaggeration. The bouncing ball is also a great way to learn any 3D program, because it covers the entire animation pipeline from start to finish.
