We will describe each step completely, but we will assume that you have read the interface chapter, and that you understand the conventions used throughout this book. In Part I of this tutorial we'll build a still Gingerbread Man.
Then, in Part II, we will make him walk. Warming up After starting Blender, you should see the Default screen set up. Default Blender screen. We will start by organizing our working area by placing Objects on different layers. 3D scenes can quickly become confusing when multiple Objects are on the screen. Layer visibility controls. Blender provides you with twenty layers to help organize your work. And manage the visibility of multiple layers with ⇧ ShiftLMB . Let's clean up the screen by first moving the camera and lamp to another layer.
The Move to Layer popup. Select the Camera with RMB . . Building the body Snap cursor to the Center Add a cube to the scene. . . 2.6 Gingerbread - Animate. From BlenderWiki If all we needed was a still picture, our work would be done, but we want Gus to move. The next step is creating a skeleton or armature, which will allow us to move him. This is called rigging. Gus will have very simple rig: four limbs (two hands and two legs) and several joints (no elbows, only knees), no feet and no arms. Rigging To add rigging: Adding the first bone - hand to elbow. In Object mode, set your 3D cursor where Gus’s shoulder is, and press ⇧ ShiftA >> Add >> Armature >> Single bone. To make the process more successful, please periodically look at the Gingerbread man and armature from many different viewpoints to make sure the armature is inside the gingerbread man, just as bones are inside a human body.
Adding the second and third bones, a leg bone chain. Stay in Edit mode, then move the cursor to where the hip joint will be and add a new bone ⇧ ShiftA. We now have three bones that make up Gus’s armature. The complete armature after duplicating and flipping. How to make a Minecraft animation in Blender Minecraft Blog.

Once your scene is set up you can either make still images, or you can do an animation. If you don't want to do animation you can skip this section. First, go to the "Render" tab. It is the one on the left that looks like a camera. First you have to decide how long your animation will go for. For this tutorial, there will be 24 frames per second but if you wanted you could change that. Figure out how many seconds your animation will be and multiply that by 24. Now we have the frame range set up, we can start the animation. At frame 1, move the camera in the starting position that you choose. If you want to edit the location of keyframes or delete keyframes, you can change the view to the "DopeSheet".
While you are doing your animation, you may want to play it to see how it will appear. When you have finished your animating, now your computer will have to render each and every frame of the animation, which will probably take hours unless it is really short.
