ADVANCED CREATURE PERFORMANCE

WS02 — Complex Body Mechanics & Behaviour

Push beyond foundational locomotion into refined creature mechanics, believable behaviour, controlled transitions, and

production-level animation polish.

12 Weeks Duration
Only 6 Students Per Batch
Weekly Live Mentor Sessions

Master complex

creature movement

Refine believable mechanics, stronger weight control, and natural creature behaviour through structured mentor feedback and advanced workflow refinement.

WS00 → WS01 → WS02 (You’re here)→ WS03 → WS04

ADVANCED BODY MECHANICS

What you will learn

• Refined creature locomotion
• Advanced weight transfer and balance
• Behaviour-driven movement
• Stronger posing and readability
• Natural performance transitions
• Reference-based animation workflow
• Animation polish and refinement
• Camera-aware performance staging

This is the level you'll reach by the end of WS02

Student project developed through structured mentor feedback, focusing on body mechanics, believable movement, and animation polish.
