Reply To: Lost while mirroring one foot to other

hi –

Glad it is clearer.  If you learn some about rigging parts of animation make more sense.  When you understand how the bones are set up  it makes more sense on how to move them.   It doesn’t help with making the animation look alive (that is an art), but it helps with the basic animation.  

As for vfx, it is huge.  I have only played around with it some, it is fun. 

There are some classes here,

https://cgcookie.com/tutorial/the-basics-of-motion-tracking-creating-a-vfx-door. – this uses 2.8 and was pretty easy, explains some about markers  and motion tracking which you need to understand to do about anything.

https://cgcookie.com/tutorial/learn-how-to-motion-track-a-plane-in-blender  – this is also 2.8 and pretty easy

https://cgcookie.com/course/compositing-a-3d-monster-into-a-live-action-scene – I’m guessing this is more what you are after,  but uses an older version of blender, so some stuff has changed. This one is easier to do if you know more so you don’t get so confused about the versions, you can also just do it with a simple model of your own (like a ball).  I would do the other ones first, they are shorter and would give you some background.

https://cgcookie.com/course/introduction-to-compositing-in-blender – this has green screen, I haven’t watched this.

https://cgcookie.com/tutorial/tips-on-how-to-streamline-rotoscoping-in-blender – this is also 2.8 and easy

there is one on how to green screen a cell phone, but I didn’t see it.  It is. also 2.8 and easy.

There are a ton of youtube tutorials.  If you are just learning blender, I would stick to tutorials that use your version  until you are familiar with blender.   It gets frustrating when you have to figure out the difference in versions and try to learn something.

Good luck and have fun.
