The word animation is well known
today. Almost all of us know animation at least as a layman, for whom this is a
technique of creating drawings that look real and have some motions and effects
blended.
Today, almost all the fields
including engineering, gaming, movies, medical, advertisement, science,
pharmaceutical, furniture and many more, use 3D animation to give a
well-curated format to their products and services.
The fascinating part that makes
3D animation so accessible is that it provides a cheap and effective way to
prototype, analyze, and test a product design without any resources involved.
Moreover, this computer-generated model can easily be redesigned for any future
changes required.
How is 3D animation done?
3D means '3 Dimensional', where
an image is animated considering three dimensions or axis x, y and z as length,
width, and depth. 3D animation is a more complex and expensive process as
compared to 2D animation, where only two dimensions or axis x and y as length
and width are considered. However, this does not mean that 2D is not
accessible. 2D animated videos and games have a different section of
popularity.
For a more realistic looking
character or model, 3D fits the best. The animators create each character from
a mere concept to almost lively looking 3D model. The process of animation has
the following steps:
·
Concept and Storyboards
·
Texturing
·
Rigging and Skinning
·
Animation
·
Lightning
·
Camera Angles
·
Rendering
·
Facial FXAdding Music
Editing and final output
All these steps are performed one
after the other and need precision perfection in looking hyper-realistic.
Who does 3D Animation?
The beautiful looking 3D world is
a result of adept and competitive 3D artists, animators or the modelers. The 3D
artists are well-learned people with an in-depth understanding of all the
latest tools and techniques thus involved.
Whenever you see an advertisement
with sparkling liquids, rotating soaps, flying objects or immediately appearing
and disappearing effects, you get mesmerized and feel like buying that product.
Well, the underlying truth is that you already know that this is all animated,
but still, it gets the inclination of your mind, and this is the power of 3D
fed in by the super talented 3D animators.
3D animation is the need of the
hour, that attracts more and more attention and thus enhances the customer base
of a product. Be it games, products, movies, or services, 3D animation has
changed the way the mass media looks today. A great appreciation for this goes
to, of course, the animators and 3D animation studios that create this visual
magic.
