So now that you have your computer sorted and you’re clutching your stylus with an anticipation bordering on fervour, let’s take a look at some of the most noob-friendly software packages for animators. We’re in love with Wacom Tablets here at the studio – their Intuos range is a great place to start. Take it from us, get yourself a tablet to animate with. You can attempt to animate with a mouse (or even a trackpad *shudder*) but for the more artistic aspects of the animation process like character creation, storyboarding, background design etc. You’ll need slightly more heft for rendering in 3D, so keep that in mind if your dreams are in three dimensions! We’ll go through system requirements for animation in a future post on Fudge too, keep your eyes peeled.

Hardware-wise, you’re looking at a mid-range computer. Tools – Hardwareįirst thing’s first: you’re gonna need to find yourself something to animate with. The answer to the question posed in my title today is: of course you can teach yourself animation, let’s find out how. This one’s for those of you that want to mess around with animation without much start up cash and be able to see if it’s for you before getting properly stuck in.


This week I’m not going to talk about those I’m aiming this post at those of you that might not be able to blow a few grand on a 3 month animation course halfway across the country. There are plenty of animation courses out there that demand a good whack of your time and your dosh in exchange for skills in animation.
