Today I cover a super requested effect and that is how to create an inflated animation. It's a lot more simple than you might think. It is obviously done in Blender BUT that is not the only part of the video. I also give a quick insight into how I added some sauce in After Effects and most importantly how I go about sound designing these types of animations!
