Chapter 6 Character Creation Sometimes you'll run across an animation that is just a fly-through of a landscape or a building. While these can be nice, even breathtaking if done well, they generally lack something. The heart of animation is character work. The character can be as simple as a ball or a leaf, or as complex as the N'avi in Avatar. For our scene, we'll be adding a fairly simple character: a boy, wearing a collared shirt, pants, and shoes.
