Do not be fooled by the seemingly simplicity of this question.
I was admittedly quite tempted not to write this article because it's such a difficult topic to write on. It can be answered as involved as you want it to be or as short as you desire. The thing is, I need to let clients know how involved the process is, but not to let them walk away confused. Saying that, I will try my best to write back this interrogate in the most concise but easy way possible.
In a nutshell, computer 3D animation refers to the work of creating involving pictures in a digital environment that is three-dimensional. Straight through the rigorous manipulation of objects (3D models) within the 3D software, we can then export photograph sequences which will give the illusion of movement (animation) based on how we manipulate the objects.
What happens in animation is that petition is simulated in a way that the eyes tend to believe that actual petition has taken place while the fact is the perceived sense of petition is only because of the consecutive images that are passed Straight through very fast.
This ideas is inherent be it for 3D, 2D or stop petition animation.
In traditional 2D animation, pictures are hand-drawn and every one showing subtle changes from the previous. When played back sequentially, it creates the illusion of motion. In stop petition animation, real life models are moved slightly and filmed. Again, the pictures will create the illusion of petition when played back. In 3D animation, all is done within the computer and exported from the computer.
The process of creating 3D animation can be sequentially divided into three phases: modeling - which describes the process of creating the 3D objects within a scene, layout and animation - which describes how objects are positioned and involving within a scene, and rendering - which describes the final output of the completed computer graphics. Straight through the blend of the above phases and a few other sub-phases, this completes the process of a 3D animation production.
There are many software in the market for creating 3D animation, fluctuating from the economy lower-end ones to the expert high-end versions. If you are involving to see how a 3D software works, you can download a free one called Blender. Just Google it and you will be able to find its official website.
