3D Animation Character

Today you can find 3D character animation almost everywhere you look at. Starting from television, movies and video games, these days you may find immense amount of 3D character design. Apart from that you can also find them in the hoarding and posters as well. The possibility of 3D virtual character animation has tremendous benefits in terms of business and so in recent times several diverse fields are incorporating this technology to enjoy its benefits. Computer generated imaging or CGI character design have made it possible for many business firms to create unique characters and settings in such a way that many of them has turned into a firm's own identity.

The first step in 3D animation is character sketching. The artist sketches images of the characters from as many angles as possible so that the character modeler can create the 3D model. Then the character modeler chooses from a variety of methods to sculpt the model pretty much in the same way a sculptor uses clay or stone to make a real sculpture. The only difference is that this done on a virtual platform.

Various techniques that are used in creating 2D figures are morphing, twining, onion skinning and interpolated rotoscoping. Whereas 3D animation involves digital modeling of characters. Various steps that are involved in 3D animation are character sketching, character modeling, scene building, texturing, lightening and camera setup, rendering, lightening and camera setup, rendering, editing and mixing etc. Other techniques that can be applied are the use of mathematical functions, simulated fur or hair and the use of motion capture. In this way we can extract greater use of multimedia through 2D and 3D animation.
