Character animation in Blender

Ovim radom se predstavlja pristup animaciji lika s više strana, ali i njezina primjena u veću cjelinu, u obliku jednostavne aplikacije. Nakon uvoda, u kojem je predstavljen programski alat Blender u kojem se izradio projekt uz kratke upute za korištenje, prvi dio rada opisuje nastajanje računalnog lika iz zadanog primitiva, pomoću raznih transformacija istog, te dodavanje materijala i tekstura. Zatim se opisuje izgradnja njegove armature, koja je osnova za animiranje lika., pa se tako drugi dio rada dotiče izrade same animacije u obliku kratkog videa. U posljednjem dijelu rada se opisuje izrada jednostavne aplikacije upotrebom logičkih blokova i jedne Python skripte u za to predviđenom alatu, Blender Game Engineu. Radom se također pokazuje kako je Blender idealan alat za izradu navedenog jer sadrži potrebnu jednostavnost za početnike, kao i sve funkcionalnosti koje doprinose izradi rada.This thesis represents multiple approaches to character animation, as well as its incorporating in a bigger unit, in form of simple application. After the Introduction, which introduces Blender, programming tool used for creating the thesis and project, along with short instructions for using the tool, first part of the thesis describes developing a character from the default primitive by using various transformations on it and applying materials and textures. Creating of its armature, which is the basis for animating the character, is shown afterwards, so the second part of the thesis explains making of the short animation video. The last part of the thesis describes the use of logic bricks and Python script in Blender Game Engine, needed for making of the simple application which contains segments of the previously created animation video. The thesis also shows Blender as an ideal tool for creating the stated because of the essential simplicity for beginners, as well as containing all of the functionalities that contributed in creating this project
