Course Description

In this course I am going to show you how to do really fast facial animation.

​After you complete this hour and a half training, you will be able to create character expressions that look organic, alive, instead of robotic and fake.

And I will show you how to be able to do those animations really really fast, using Cartoon Animator 4 Pipeline.

Instead of having to draw frame by frame every single drawing for every single change of the face, the position of the eyes, the head, etc… I am going to show you how to set up your characters to be animated by using some very powerful controllers inside Cartoon Animator 4.

You can even control the acting of your character with Live Motion Capture.

This course will teach you how to prepare all that, so you can create very smooth animations with good timing.

So, let’s get started! See you inside.

Amazing Course which offered me more insights and the nitty gritty things of CA4 especially the Face Animation. What would have taken many months was converted as a Juice of approx 1 Hour Course which fulfilled all my requirements. I found what I was searching for. Congratulations for the Wonderful Course. God Bless You.

Good stuff right here! Downloaded the trial this weekend to try it out. Saw that you had this course available and downloaded to assist my evaluation process with some guidance. Nice job in taking me on a tour of some of CTA4's best selling assets. With your help and some of Reallusion's Tutorials, I think I have made my decision and I am going to purchase the 'Facial Mocap Bundle' that they have on special. Thanks again for your assistance in making my decision. Cheers Mate! M Anderson

Excellent! This is the first tutorial lesson I took on CA4. I wanted to see more details on how the software works before I buy it. Thanks for making this free! :-) UPDATE: I already bought Cartoon Animator 4. It would be great if the other CA4 related courses of the author will also be available here in Udemy.

I don't recommend this course, bad explanation.

By Richard Fouchaux on 4/17/2020

Perfect for me at this stage. I just upgraded from CTA3, which I figured out to some level on my own, with a little YouTube help sometimes, but I didn't really know anything about how to use the timeline well, key strokes to accompany the camera animation... constraints on and off, and of course the Face 3D plugin is new for almost everyone—Mark has all this together already and knows how to teach better than anyone on the Internet. Really happy, time well invested over a single weekend, and I watched everything at least twice. I'm going to take more courses from Mark for sure.

By Yves Bonnel on 4/15/2020

This course is awesome. Very well explained, not boring... we understand everything without the usually boring and annoying (yeah I insist twice) on the software menu diving things you can make yourself with user manual or software company tutorial. This tutorial goes further, sur it's for beginner. But you will understand concepts of animate, what's the requirements as drawing with software tools in mind and that's very important. Plus it goes somehow deep with 3 animated scenes. It is one the best tutorial on Cartoon Animator, but also in "Animate a character" I have seen for now. I would like to THANKS the author from the bottom of my heart. it's FREE it's incredible !!!

I know Mark Since 2019 , i took many courses with him and many are free , he is the best teacher of principle of 2d animation, he is also one of the best motivation speakers , don't miss his TD talks about cartoon animation. This free course is filled with knowledge which i highly recommend .

By 陳予漢ag on 2/3/2020

THE BEST cartoon animator course I've ever known I have watched all cartoon animator official tutorials Among 80% time, they teach you how to animate their Pre-made template characters But I want to know how to animate my Own custom characters Official tutorials teach you all the technical details but I don't know when and where I can use them in my animation This course is different The instructor show you the complete WORKFLOW in cartoon animator, not just some trivial technical details you will never use He also teach you some animation principles and how to apply it in cartoon animator ...with enthusiasm! I WISH THE INSTRUCTOR CAN RELEASE MORE CARTOON ANIMATOR COURSE ON UDEMY 5 stars!

By Alan Smiles on 8/14/2019

I have been following the CA4 tutorials on their website and found their workflow to be pretty bad. I have found this tutorial (even though it's still a little complicated) much easier to follow than the CA4 tutorials. It was so good I even managed to do the artwork in Affinity Designer, save it as a PSD and then import it as was done in the tutorial... Excellent!

By Stacey Byrd on 7/4/2019

The presenter was very enthusiastic and entertaining to watch. I like that he didn't have a bunch of fluff and got straight to the nitty-gritty. Being that I have recently bought Cartoon Animator 4 this was very helpful in showing me the functionality and streamlining my characters.
