The Beginners Guide to Creating 3D Animations Using 3D Animation Software
I used to fight my brother since I was four. It doesn’t mean that I stopped now but u know fighting will be always there for different reasons , any way at this age as children, all what we care about are cartoons like Tom and Jerry , Ninja and games like PicMan or Car Race which for sure have been the main reason for every fight , different opinions lead to different selections , of course with one TV you can imagine cushions fly always in the air.
At that time I used to see 2D animations only, which have been developed a lot since then however they are on their way now to die due to the huge progress in digital world plus the fabulous appearance of 3D animation applications.
The main difference between 2D and 3D animation is that 2D lacks thickness, focus on image manipulation, and essence. Since everything around us is in 3D shape when you transform them to 2D they lose their reality.
Also, as soon as 3D model is completed you can have easy control not only over the scene but also over the animation as well unlike 2D.
3D animation has now become the way of the animation world. This is the fact that It would never have evolved to this point without the success of the 2D. Some animation gurus still think that 3D animation is still dependant on the skills required for 2D. that’s why, where you hear someone say the 2D animation is mundane then does not give it a second thought.
In addition, 3D animation software are very rich tools give you varity of options based on your requirements.
However both types of animations participate in the main 12 original principals introduced by Disney in the 1930s (Anticipation , Staging , Straight Ahead Action VS Pose to Pose action , Squash and Stretch ,Follow-Through and Overlapping Action ,Secondary Action, Arcs , Slow-In and Slow-Out , Timing , Exaggeration , Solid Drawing , Appeal).
How to create 3D graphics animation?
1. Sketch the character
2. Sculpting the character model using the appropriate s/w
3. Build the scene to simulate the environment ad model the world
4. Place and manage the direction of lights and camera
5. Apply the suitable motions
6. Rendering to have a video for the animated shape
7. Using motion tracking techniques to facilitate the interaction between the human and the animated character
