The 3D Character Animation training and mentoring program with expert Arber Bixhaku was meticulously designed to provide students with comprehensive instruction and hands-on experience in the field of 3D animation. During the course of the program, students had the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills and techniques, enabling them to develop a strong foundation in this creative discipline. The program began with an introduction to animation, focusing on the fundamental principles that underpin the art form. Arbër Bixhak expertly guided the students through these principles, emphasizing their importance in creating engaging and visual animations.

Building on this, the syllabus delved into character animation, providing a detailed explanation of the character controllers and graphics editor. Students gained a deep understanding of how to effectively manipulate and control characters within a 3D environment, ensuring their movements and expressions were realistic and expressive.

To reinforce the principles learned, the program included practical exercises. Students engage in hands-on activities, such as animating a bouncing ball, a pendulum, and a squirrel animation. These exercises provided students with valuable opportunities to apply their knowledge and develop their skills in a supportive and interactive learning environment. Also, the program emphasized the importance of weight and physics in animation. Students participated in weighty exercises that focused on animating objects and characters to convey a sense of realism and natural movement. This aspect of the training enhanced their ability to create compelling and immersive animations that felt grounded in the physical world.

As the program neared its end, the students embarked on an animation project. This project served as a culmination of their learning journey, allowing them to showcase their skills and creativity. Throughout this project, the students received invaluable feedback and guidance from Arbër Bixhak, enabling them to refine their work and produce animations of the highest quality.
