This book is an introductory guide to 3D character animation production. It is structured to teach the basics of animation by creating various poses and animations using character data from sample files.
Since the focus is solely on learning animation, explanations on modeling and shading have been omitted, and only the minimum necessary structures for rigging have been explained.

If you want to learn more about modeling, shading, and rigging, please refer to the author's "Let's Create Anime-Style Characters with Blender! (Modeling/Cartoon Rendering)" which guides you through the basics in detail.

I hope this book will help you discover the joy of animation production.
