How to Make Minecraft Animations

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Install a 3D rendering software.

   A good starting point is blender, which you can get at blender.org.
   
   If you have money and you're serious in doing this, there are 3 more software to use! You can use 3ds Max, Maya, or Cinema 4D.

   Step 2: Get a rig.

   All you have to do is search 'Minecraft Rig' and you'll find plenty of them.
   
   But some of them are software-specific.
   
   Find blender rigs for blender, or maya rigs for maya. , For blender, look for a red dot and a pair of keys next to it.
   
   Once finding it, you can move the character and animate.
   
   For cinema 4D, Look for 2 arrows in a circle next to a question mark.
   
   Move the characters and frames to animate! , This step is for Blender Only; other software users should look at other sources.
   
   You should see Output.
   
   Have the output be PNG.
   
   Create a new folder to put the pictures in.
   
   Then, render the animation. , Then go to "Add>Image".
   
   Select the images and insert them into the editor.
   
   Have the green line go where you want your animation to end. , I would prefer Quicktime for mac user, but for windows users, you can choose what you want.
   
   Then render the animation again.
   
   This will go faster and go through each photo. , You've finished making your animation! Now, edit it and everything, and show the world it on YouTube!
