Blender Tutorial - Create the "Ghost Pianist" Animated Scene

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a complete ghost pianist animation in Blender’s Eevee engine, from modeling and UV unwrapping through rigging, animation, effects, compositing, and rendering. It follows the production of a piano scene with animated hands, keys, camera, volumetric shading, fog, and dust particles.
