Three Steps to easy 3-D Animation

3D animation is the latest branch of computer animation. Basically, 3D animation is used to create
moving images and other animated effects. Now days, 3D animation is widely used in the computer field
Games, software and media industry like films referred as CGI (Computer-generated imagery or
computer-generated imaging).

Working Mechanism

The creation of 3D animations consists of three stages:

1. Modeling

2. Layout and animation

3. Rendering

Modeling is the phase, in which 3D mesh, model or shape of the object is created. As described above,
computer is used widely for this cause. There are many working methods and tools for modeling. Each
technique and methods have different aspects and used according to need.

Layout and animation 3D objects are dispatched for movements in this stage. There are various types of
techniques, used in the process of animation like inverse kinematics, keyframing, and motion capture.
All these techniques are used simultaneously or according to the situation.

Rendering 3D object is converted in an image in this stage. It is the most vital stage of the whole
process. Use of light and camera, is significant in this process. Shadow, mood, reflection, waves and
special effects are created by the help of various 3D software packages.

Basic Principle

 The main working principle is based upon the creation of illusion of moving images and synchronization
of moving images with television and motion pictures.3D animation is derived from stop motion
animation of the 3D models and 2D illustrations frame by frame. 3D animation involves the creation of
images and models on the computer monitor. Figures are assembled on the virtual skeleton. On the
other hand, the other hand, 2D animation depends on physical and separate objects (illustrations)
transparent layers. The animator produces the movements of figure like mouth, clothes, eyes, etc. on
the key frame. Frame (a complete image) rate is a really important thing for 3d graphics.12. FPS or
frames per second is the minimum rate of frames used for any film. Usually, 24 fps are used widely to
make movies and other cartoons.
Future and Interesting Facts

3D animation has changed the course of media industry. New cartoons like Incredible, Ice Age, Shrek
and many more animated cartoon films are clear results of this innovative technology. Reboot was the
first computer generated TV show. Toy Story 1(1994) was the first film. This film broke all records of box
office and set many new records. Toy Story 2(1995) and Toy Story 3(2010) showed the magic of 3D
animation. Although he wasn’t in the movie, Bill Nighy became Davy Jones in Pirates of Caribbean
because of this 3D animation. Avatar, blockbuster of 2009, was the miracle of 3D animation.

3D animation has become essential part of video games. In the present era, no architect can make his
plan without this innovative technology. 3D animation is widely used in the medical field, especially
cosmetic surgery.

The creation of human images is still a problem. According to technologists, this problem will be solved
in future.CGI films have successfully shown the different animal characters in the films. In simple words,
3D technology will be the future of graphic industry and computer animation. Article by: Cody Landon

Animation Development Company is in the business of developing and licensing animation projects. It
has the exclusive rights to market products and services based on a number of unique entertainment
programs, to major media markets.

ADC finances animation pilots and pitches the projects to networks for the purpose of licensing potential
television series. These 3-7 minute animated cartoon segments are produced and developed by industry
experts in conjunction with or under contract to ADC. For its financial involvement, ADC will always
retain a majority stake in revenue and equity ownership in the pilot. In other words, ADC will own a
controlling interest in the rights to the concepts and characters on which the series will be based. That is
where the major streams of revenue will ultimately come from.
