3d Animation An Art Or A Technical Skill

By Jasque Brisk

As mankind has advanced, its artistic tastes have also found new and contemporary means to display itself. Today, the evolution of art has entered the realms of computers and advanced technology, as animation has emerged as a new art form. This has been a radical change from the humble beginnings which can be traced back to the paleolithic cave paintings, but nevertheless, it has presented us with exciting opportunities.

Digital 3D Animation is a skill which makes it possible to create and show digital moving objects with a 3D touch on a 2D screen. 2D animation has been around for a long time, but Three Dimensional animation has overtaken it as the results of the later are amazingly realistic. 3 Dimensional Animation is not restricted to films, but is also used in architectural visualisation, PC games, web designing and simulating various scientific models.

The process of executing 3D Animation involves 3 Dimensional modeling, texturing, 3D animation and rendering. 3D Modeling is the conversion of an object into virtual 3 Dimensional space through special 3d modeling programs. Texturing is the next step and it gives meaning to the Three Dimensional models produced during the first stage by setting physical shading parameters of 3 Dimensional models. Texturing can be compared to an artist painting on a sculpture to display more details. Texturing gives the shape to the scenario as it would appear in the finished version.

Three Dimensional Animation may not relate to cartoons when characters like Mickey Mouse were first introduced, yet the principal 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 technique, involves setting up of two or more key object positions in different time frames of a unit of animation. 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 animations where called in-betweens. Today the computer fills the 3D Animation by automatically calculating the frames in between.

The core thought behind the Motion Capture method is to portray the emotions, expressions and movements of a 3 Dimensional animated character as realistically as possible by recording of real actor movements, and translating them into a digital 3d model. 3 Dimensional Animation generally uses a faster frame rate than the traditional animation, which are about 14 frames per second, in order to sustain the realism of movement and to create a dramatic impression.

Computer Animation is an exciting and challenging profession. Before you start some serious professional work, it is always helpful to attend specialized institutes that offer animation courses. You should focus on schools like Sheridan and Max the Mutt Animation School, to really have a substantial foundation to your career. However, attending small courses will do you no good as this way you will only learn to work with different software, which is not enough to become a good 3D Animator.

You can only excel as a 3 Dimensional computer animator, if you are capable of original and creative work. You should be mastering basic design programs like Flash and Photoshop. You should have a thorough knowledge of 3D Modeling and should be able to master the function of animation variables, the essential structures that make up life-like 3d models in an animation.

You should have strong basics of art and must have a deep knowledge and understanding of how colors work. You will be continually playing with them for the rest of your lives. You must have a good sense of shade and light, which actually sum up the basics of all visual arts. Besides the technical knowledge, it is your sense of film-making and story-telling which will help create a realistic animation.

How can Digital 3D Animation be of some practical use to a web page designer, who is not too much into the technical details? You can create animations on quite a decent level through a number of available software for this purpose. Cinema 4D, Softimage and Motion Builder are a few names of high end 3D animation software, but these are mostly preferred by experienced animators. It is better to research their features by reading their reviews out on different websites and choose which one suits you better. There are other software for web designing and simple animation, such as Anim8or, Xara 3D and Effect 3D, which are much simple to use.

If you prefer to use 3D animation as the content of your web site, you could settle for software with simple features and an easy and accessible user interface. 3D Animations have become an effective communication tool of our age and can be a source of traffic enhancement for web designers as computer software have brought this possibility into their access. This technology allows you to explore new horizons on whatever front it can be utilized. It is up to you to use it efficiently now.
