Why Take This Class?

In game combat scenes, character animation and attack animation of “monsters” are both essential.

This curriculum contains everything you need to practice before you start working at a game animation studio, including creature motion techniques with various characteristics.

This class will teach you how to create various character combo attacks with a unique feeling of impact while taking into account the center of gravity. In addition, you will learn the rigging and combat animation techniques for orcs, gargoyles, and slimes, which traverse both the ground and the air, as well as some tips to effectively capture each interaction.

3D Animator Yun Kwon's specialized class on type-specific game combat animations and how they are eventually applied in Unreal Engine, is available. Only at Coloso!

Yun Kwon
3D Animator

Hello. I’m Yun Kwon, and I’m a 3D Animator.

I’ve been part of multiple game development projects at companies like NCSOFT and Webzen. Currently I’m on the Project L Team at Riot Games, or better known as the developer and publisher of League of Legends.

I hope to share some of the experience and expertise I have gained in the field since I started as a mid-level animator, and offer a shortcut for anyone looking to go down the path of becoming an animator.

Students will be getting hands-on exercises on how different motions are applied, rather than only learning various rules and theories, which is quite impractical.

Class Details
You'll Learn

How to Select Key Poses Based on Actual Acting and Reference

Use action scenes and motions easily seen around you and translate them into 3D animation. Similarly, practice getting the most information from a single reference to create highly realistic animation.
Understanding the Principles Behind Basic Motions of Characters

Rather than focusing solely on learning theories, explore how the center of gravity shifts when a character takes a step. Learn to consider balance when creating key poses, developing character-specific motions with a deep understanding of each one.
Combo Attacks Based on the Understanding of the Different Characteristics of Various Weapons

Even with the same character, motions can vary significantly depending on the weapon. This course will emphasize understanding the characteristics of different weapons, along with depicting their weight and applying basic movements in combo attack motions.

Animation Polishing Tips And How to Boost the Quality of your Work

Reopen the animation after completing the first draft to proceed with rigging, blocking out, full animation, and polishing. This process aims to enrich the motions in the final output, enhancing the overall quality of the animation.
How to Create Three Unique Kinds Of Monster Animation

Explore how the intelligence, wings, and components of monsters influence their actions, and gain a deeper understanding of how the structure and characteristics of non-human monsters are reflected with appropriate motions.
