Lace up your boots, do some stretching, get on your marks, get set and GO! It's time to participate in this month's Olympics AnimChallenge. This month, we want you to animate an Olympic event to celelbrate the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. To help you, the team at Agora.studio have created new skins for the Agora Original Characters (now also in Blender!). But be quick, these new skins will only be available for this month only!
There's plenty of reference footage available on the Official Olympics Youtube Channel. And if you'd like to see a full list of this year's events, we've listed them for you below!
Happy Animating!
