Breakdown for the explainer animation for HANGAR A Express Delivery Network! We simplified a complex logistics system into a clean, punchy animation. We had a fun time bringing this one to life! Final video: vimeo.com/1091857254 #Explainer #Animation #3D #Logistics #DeliveryNetwork #MotionDesign

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 11 Filter by Value is a highly useful and powerful, yet underrated feature. You can easily filter either partial or full values. This helps to find currently active channels when dealing with large rigs. #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip
