Learn how to create a physics simulation of handwritten text using Blender. The course teaches how to use the cloth modifier to simulate handwriting, place it on a video background, and render it with special effects. Students will also learn about controlling vertices, adjusting gravity, adding thickness, and incorporating real footage. The teaching method includes step-by-step demonstrations and practical examples. This course is intended for individuals interested in 3D animation, visual effects, and Blender software.
