What you'll learn
Welcome to Volume 3 of Quick Start to Animation in MODO, a series of specially constructed tutorials meant to be followed in sequence and interspersed with valuable exercises to reinforce learned concepts. In this Volume, we'll build on the concepts covered in Volume 2. We'll start by learning how to track the Arcs of an animated object with MODO's Motion Path tool. We'll then learn how to animate objects along a path. We'll also learn about Actors, and how to store Actions and Poses, which can make it possible for animators to achieve a high level of productivity. These tutorials are designed to be taken in sequence so we really encourage you to start with Volume 2 before continuing with this section. We also encourage you to take advantage of the assignments that follow each Volume. These assignments will allow you to take what you've learned and apply those tools and techniques to your own projects. Software required: MODO 801.
