From Minecraft Animation to Blender: A Journey of Creativity and Growth

Have you ever wondered how a childhood fascination with animations can evolve into a professional career? Let me take you on a journey through my animation story that spans over 14 years, from creating simple stick figure animations in my early days to transitioning to complex 3D animations in software like Blender.

Finding Inspiration in the Simplest of Animations

It all started when I stumbled upon a stick figure animation called "The Cliff" on YouTube, which sparked my passion for animation. Despite its simplicity, the animation felt achievable, prompting me to explore animation further.

Embracing the World of Animation Software

My journey led me to software like Pivot Animator for creating stick figure GIFs, then to Mine-imator for Minecraft animations, and eventually to professional tools like Maya and Blender. Each step in software evolution challenged me and expanded my skills.

Navigating Challenges and Growth

Enrolling in a multimedia high school and later pursuing a diploma in 3D animation, I faced setbacks and criticism that pushed me to excel. Despite initial reluctance, I delved into Blender's updated version 2.8, rediscovering my love for animation and limitless creativity.

Reigniting the Passion for Animation

As I ventured into the world of Blender, I realized the power of community and collaboration in nurturing creativity. I aim to revitalize my channel with challenges, collabs, and community events, bridging the gap between my Minecraft animation roots and my current Blender projects.

Transitioning from Mine-imator to Blender: A Tutorial

For those looking to transition from Mine-imator to Blender, I have prepared a simple tutorial to ease the process. From setting up the interface to keyframing animations, this tutorial covers the basics to kickstart your Blender journey.
