Features

What will you learn?

  • Animation Basics

    This is the fundamental cornerstone of the course, giving an essential introduction to the world of animation. We’ll explain the key basics of animation – its general concept and what it entails. An integral part of that is teaching you the idea of animating within the 3D software environment, how to work with Path Constraint and create a quick preview for testing purposes, which will help you save time.

  • Camera Setup & Movement

    We believe that camera movement, in conjunction with lighting, is crucial for creating exceptional 3D animations. By understanding the principles of camera settings and movements and applying them in practice, we can help you master the art of 3D animation. Additionally, we will teach you how to enhance your animations by using techniques such as speed ramping, changing depth of field or masking.

  • Light Animation

    One of the methods you canuse to bring your animations to life is adding animated lighting! We’ll show you how to create the perfect lighting animation, from sun and HDRI animations to time-lapse sequences. We’ll also discuss how to create stunning animation with just a JPG flat sequence.

  • Video Editing & Color Grading

    Video editing is an essential aspect of creating animation. In this course, we’ll cover the basics of working with Davinci Resolve – the video editing software (free version available) and we’ll explain how to edit clips there. We’ll also go through topics like color correction, and masking, which are fundamental skills that every 3D animator should possess.

  • Creating Storyboard

    The first step in creating an animation is to come up with an idea, which involves deciding on how to portray a particular space, what elements to focus on, and what the desired outcome for the viewer supposed to be. Once you have a clear concept, you can start working on the video draft, and in this course we will explain the process of starting an animation from scratch.

  • Aerial Animations

    If you want to showcase a location and give the viewer a feel of the space, an aerial animation is a great way to do it. However, creating a high-quality aerial animation usually involves combining video footage with 3D models, which is a complex process. In this course, we will guide you through the entire process step-by-step.

  • Rendering Process

    Rendering is always one of the most challanging stages of the animation creation process. We will discuss how to approach rendering animation, how to prepare files for testing and final renderings, like what settings to use in the 3D software.

  • Object Animation

    Movement is a vital aspect of video production, allowing you to convey emotions, actions, and ideas in a more dynamic and compelling way. In the training, we will delve into the techniques of animating objects like vehicle, curtain, people, and tools you can use to add movement to your shots.

  • Artificial Intelligence Techniques

    Artificial intelligence is a topic of ongoing discussion nowadays. Regardless of your opinion, the fact remains that it can significantly speed up the animation process. In the course, we will demonstrate the techniques we use to save time while still maintaining quality.

  • Tree & Plant Animations

    You can add realism and life to your exterior animations with wind-driven movement! This will give your scenes a more natural look, as in real life, vegetation is always in motion due to the wind. With the use of the GrowFX plugin, we’ll teach you how to add animations to any plant or tree.

  • Concept of Animation Shots

    We’ll walk you through the entire animation. We will present all the shots including the exteriors of the buildings and the landscaping areas, to the interior shots. We aim to provide you with an in-depth understanding of the various components that make up the animation, as well as the creative and technical processes involved in bringing them to life.

  • Liquid Animation

    Learn water simulation basics using Phoenix FD by Chaos Group. Perfect for bathrooms, but applicable for a variety of scenes. Also, we teach you how to use Tyflow to create things like bubbles in the champane glass. Explore this workflow with us.

  • Business Side of Animation

    In the course, we will help you understand the business side of animations. You’ll have the opportunity to learn how to accurately quote an animation project, as well as how to effectively manage your client throughout the entire process, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and according to a timeline.

I’m confident in recommending the AVA courses with a clean conscious! I actually tried the other paid course earlier and it was too hard to follow due to its bad structure. The order was kind of uncertain, and it was more like a bunch of technical lessons unrelated to any final purpose. Here everything is really well structured, I can easily track any previous lesson. And along the learning way, I feel at what part of the track I am, and what each lesson was for. And the general concept of not giving anything for the lesson except for walls and basic architectural items. No lights or assets. That’s great! Before joining the course my main struggle was spending too much time on my projects. I was too focused on technical details and considered them to be the hallmark of visualization as a craft. Thanks to the course it dawned on me that it’s the general idea and the mood of the scene that matters, which doesn’t require much time! And that the quicker you make the scene, the better it’s actually going to be! Now, I’m able to work faster, and better. I enjoy the results, as well as the process. I earn more. I sleep more.

I’ve joined three courses from Arch Viz Artist: Visualization Course, Animation Course, and Advanced Interior Course. Before joining the training I’ve had trouble mainly with the time spent and the quality of my work. I also completely did not know how to animate any scenes. I chose the course from Arch Viz Artist because of the simple and easy-to-understand explanations. The short YouTube tutorials helped me a lot, which made me quickly realize what else I could learn. The cost of the course was also very reasonable. The course form is really easy to follow. You can go back to the tutorial access at any time. The length of each video is also perfect. The lessons are designed to focus on high quality and efficiency. I thought I learned it all, but there is so much more! Now, I am able to complete my renders faster. It has improved my image quality and has helped me become more confident and consistent with my work. After that, I was confident enough to start offering rendering and animation services in my company. I offer consulting and design services and have now received paid work from 2 of my existing clients for renderings as well! I would highly recommend these courses to fellow artists. If you want to learn from scratch or if you want to improve your existing work.

For a long time, I’ve been using Lumion for animation but I am not quite satisfied with that. I wanted to know more about animation to enhance my creativity for my upcoming projects. I highly recommend this course to anyone for if you want to be a professional in this field or if you want to learn how the professionals work, the Arch Viz Artist will surely show you how a professional works.

I’ve been doing architectural visualizations and animation for years, but when I found out about this online course, I instantly bought it. The information in this course on how to produce animation is of the best quality! It gave me a wealth of knowledge that I didn’t have before. I can say that this course has made me a better animator and it was well worth the investment!

FAQ

See if you can discover the answer here to your question!

  • This course is for anyone who wants to learn animations. Basic 3ds Max knowledge is required as we don’t teach you the basics of the software.
    To produce high quality animations you have to know how to do visualizations first. If you don’f feel good at visualizations, don’t worry! We’ve got a bundle that covers both visualization and animation.
    Animation knowledge is not required as we cover everything from beginner to advanced level.

  • The software we use during the course:
    3ds max version 2024
    Chaos Corona Renderer version 10
    V-Ray Renderer version 6
    DaVinci Resolve 19

    This is a principle-based course, versions of the software don’t matter at all. You will be able to follow the training using any version of the above software.

    Files are saved down to the 3ds max 2021 version. If you have an older 3ds max, you can download a trial and save it down on your own.

  • We have switched to DaVinci Resolve, which we believe is the best solution available in the market. This software has also become a popular choice among video editing professionals globally.

    DaVinci Resolve offers a free version that enables you to edit and create simple animations and unlike other software, it requires a one-time payment, eliminating the need for regular subscriptions. It combines editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post production all in one software tool!

    In our course, we will also include lessons from our previous Animation Training 1.0 as a bonus. In this training, on another hand, we used Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for animation editing.

  • You will get lifetime access so you can learn at your own pace without any worries.

  • Unfortunately, you won’t be able to download the files. However, you will be able to watch the tutorials on our website.

  • You will get the base 3ds Max scenes that will be available to download. They will include the base building model, and animated cameras.
    Please note that commercial models and textures are NOT included due to licensing.

    The purpose of this course is to inspire you to learn animations through watching tutorials, and then put the knowledge into practice using the base model with your own assets. It’s an exciting opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and create something uniquely yours!

  • A refund will not be possible, in accordance with Consumer Rights (art. 38, point 13).

  • The entire videos for Animation course has a total duration of 7 hours and 45 minutes. You can find the full course program above in the “The full course program” section. It includes a complete list of modules, lessons, and the duration of each video.

    To complete the course effectively, we recommend the following approach:
    1. Watch the video carefully to understand the techniques being demonstrated.
    2. Try to follow along and recreate the steps using the video as a guide.
    3. Rebuild the lesson entirely on your own, using the same techniques, but without the video – this will reinforce your learning and help you apply the knowledge independently.

    Please note that while the video content totals 7 hours and 45 minutes, you should plan at least double that time to complete the course effectively – and in some cases, even three times as much, depending on your pace and experience level.
