===== Useful materials =====

The animation text :

Crie sua introdução épica usando o Blender...

Praticamente todos os elementos do Blender podem ser animados: objetos, materiais, coleções etc...

As combinações são infinitas...

===== Practical work =====


The blender animation layout :

Achieve the "starfield" material with the following shader :

Design Steps:

  - Creating the Starfield
  - Creating the "Blue" Text
  - Creating an "Empty" to attach all the "Yellow" objects to be scrolled
  - Creating the "Emission" materials
  - Animating object positions
  - Animating emission strength
  - Animating object visibility
  - Creating the video

To achieve deep, rich colors—rather than washed-out ones—in EEVEE, you must configure “Color Management” (https://docs.blender.org/manual/fr/latest/render/color_management.html) to “Standard” mode...

The "emission" material is as follows:

To show or hide an element in the scene, use the "Enable/Disable" in render button and animate it using keyframes.

It is also possible to modify the Emission material by adding a transparent material and blending them:

We'll animate the "Fac" field in the "Mix Shader" to create transparency in the material.

Managing text that scrolls in justified paragraphs using "boxes":

Creating the video for your animation:

Finally, generate the video of your animation. You can add a soundtrack. The StarsBrasil theme has been added to the useful files.

There are two ways to generate the video: 

  - directly by exporting the animation as a video file (MP4 or other formats) and adding the soundtrack,
  - or by generating a series of images and using the VSE (Visual Sequencer Editor). This allows you to "synchronize" the soundtrack with the images and also add video effects.
