3d Animation An Art Or A Knowledge Of New Technology

By Jasque Brisk

Starting with the age of the cave paintings to the current days, art has taken different shapes and forms. With the time passing art has modified its expression and with speedy advancement in modern technology, computers have had their influence on art. Animation, which is an important form of art of our century, has entered the dimension of computer technology from its traditional beginnings.

Digital 3D Animation is a skill which makes it possible to build and show moving objects with a Three Dimensional touch on a 2D screen. 2D animation has been around for a long time, but 3D animation has overtaken it as the results of the later are stunningly realistic. 3 Dimensional Animation is not restricted to motion pictures, but is also used in architectural visualization, computer games, web designing and constructing various scientific theories.

3 Dimensional Animation consists of an elaborate process of 3D modeling, texturing, animating and rendering. 3 Dimensional Modeling is the construction and wire-framing of any item or a scene in its digital Three Dimensional representation through specialized software. Texturing gives a realistic shade to the 3D models, which makes it possible for the audience to relate to an object or a person, or even a place in a 3D Animation. It is much like painting into pencil sketches and gives the model its final look.

3 Dimensional Animation may not relate to movies when characters like Mickey Mouse were first displayed, yet the central concept of animation remains identical as in traditional animation. These principles have taken the shape of Motion Capture and Key-framing with technological advancements. Key-framing, descendent of traditional animation method, involves setting up of two or more key object positions in different time frames , these frames were then called key frames. After this the animator assistant was drawing all the frames in between the key frames by hand, these gradual changes in repetitive illustrations that made up the illusion of motion where called in-betweens. Today the computer fills the 3D Animation by automatically calculating the frames in between.

Motion Capture is another one of the new animation techniques, the use of which is mostly seen in the film FX. It brings life to characters in animations by translating the recorded movements of real actors or models into the 3D Animation. 3 Dimensional Animations also require a much higher frame rate to support its photorealism and effectiveness, which exceeds 14 frames per second, which is used for old two dimensional animation.

Many individuals are inspired to pursue an animation career, but often end up only with a short duration course which only helps them learn how to work with different software which does not ensure proficiency in 3 Dimensional Animation. Schools like Sheridan and Max the Mutt Animation School can provide the appropriate formal education and technical facilities that are fitting to a professional animator. It is always best to enroll with an Animation school which focuses on quality.

To become a successful Three Dimensional computer animator, you must have a good idea of computer design on a simple level, such as Flash and Photoshop. You should have an understanding of constructing animation variables which constitute the fundamental bone structure to Three Dimensional skeletal models, which will assist you in creating life-like characters.

You have to know how to use colors to an effective end and an arts degree will be desirable for the job. You have to be aware of crucial elements like shading, lights and rendering to give your animation the power to keep the audiences attention. It is realization of these details which will make sure that 3D animated objects created by you look more life like.

How can Digital 3D Animation be of some practical use to a internet site designer, who doesn't have the experience and knowledge on how to create 3d animations? Animators can create animations on quite a decent level through a number of available software for this purpose. Blender 3d, Softimage XSI and Motion Builder are some of professional 3D animation software, but these are mostly used by animation professionals. It is better to research their features by checking their reviews out on different blogs and choose which one suits you better. There are other programs for web designing and simple animation, such as 3D Canvas, 3D GIF Designer and Effect 3D, which are much simple to use.

Web developers could employ 3D Animation to their advantage by adding animated content on their Internet pages. Not only will it communicate messages more effectively, but it will also attract more traffic to their web pages. With all the ease with which you could create your very own 3D communication and presentation tools through a supply of specialized software applications, not having them definitely could cost you a competitive edge.
