  • Unit 31: Computer Animation
    Unit 31: Computer Animation Unit code: D/601/7658 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to ensure learners understand types of animation and their uses and develop the knowledge and skills required to use software techniques to design and implement different types of animation. Unit introduction Computer animation is the art of creating moving images through the use of computers. It brings together computer graphics and animation techniques. Animation does not require computers, however the increasing ability of computers to create and manipulate sets of images has allowed basic animation to reach new levels of sophistication and realism. To create the illusion of movement, a sequence of images is displayed over time and the human eye perceives this sequence as continual movement. The technique is at the heart of all existing technologies such as television and motion pictures. It is increasingly created by means of 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still widely used for low bandwidth and faster real-time needs. Only 2D graphics are required in this unit. Animation has become a prominent feature of the worldwide web and is used to create interest and attract attention. In this area, however, there are other factors that need to be taken into account when designing and building applications, such as the nature of the display device and the bandwidth of the connection. As with all computer applications learners must first identify the need, specific requirements and constraints before building the solution. Learners will start by looking at different types of animation and their uses and formats.

  • Poseray Handbuch 3.10.3
    Das PoseRay Handbuch 3.10.3 Zusammengestellt von Steely. Angelehnt an die PoseRay Hilfedatei. PoseRay Handbuch V 3.10.3 Seite 1 Yo! Hör genau zu: Dies ist das deutsche Handbuch zu PoseRay, basierend auf dem Helpfile zum Programm. Es ist keine wörtliche Übersetzung, und FlyerX trifft keine Schuld an diesem Dokument (wenn man davon absieht, daß er PoseRay geschrieben hat). Dies ist ein Handbuch, kein Tutorial. Es erklärt nicht, wie man mit Poser tolle Frauen oder mit POV- Ray tolle Bilder macht. Es ist nur eine freie Übersetzung der poseray.html, die PoseRay beiliegt. Ich will mich bemühen, dieses Dokument aktuell zu halten, und es immer dann überarbeiten und erweitern, wenn FlyerX sichtbar etwas am Programm verändert. Das ist zumindest der Plan. Damit keine Verwirrung aufkommt, folgt das Handbuch in seinen Versionsnummern dem Programm. Die jeweils neueste Version findest Du auf meiner Homepage: www.blackdepth.de. Sei dankbar, daß Schwedenmann und Tom33 von www.POVray-forum.de meinen Prolltext auf Fehler gecheckt haben, sonst wäre das Handbuch noch grausiger. POV-Ray, Poser, DAZ, und viele andere Programm- und Firmennamen in diesem Handbuch sind geschützte Warenzeichen oder zumindest wie solche zu behandeln. Daß kein TM dahinter steht, bedeutet nicht, daß der Begriff frei ist. Unser Markenrecht ist krank, bevor Du also mit den Namen und Begriffen dieses Handbuchs rumalberst, mach dich schlau, ob da einer die Kralle drauf hat. Noch was: dieses Handbuch habe ich geschrieben, es ist mein Werk und ich kann damit machen, was ich will. Deshalb bestimme ich, daß es nicht geschützt ist. Es gibt schon genug Copyright- und IPR- Idioten; ich muß nicht jeden Blödsinn nachmachen.

  • Jack's Poser Pro Manual Last Update: 2021 09 17
    Jack's Poser Pro Manual Last Update: 2021 09 17 Note 1: This Manual has been prepared for my own use. If you find it useful, great. However, don't be surprised (or angry with me) if I have failed to update something that has changed from one version of Poser to the next and which I haven't discovered yet. Or if I have failed to understand and so incorrectly describe something. If I discover (or have pointed out to me) that something in this Manual doesn't work as I described, I'll see about updating my text. Note 2: I installed Poser 12 on 30 November 2020. I have no idea if anything in this Manual has changed in Poser 12. I will make necessary changes as I find them. I began using Poser Pro 2012 on about 2013 01 07. This file was started soon after doing a bit of experimenting and finding that I had no tutorial. So here are the results from experimenting, reading Poser Pro 2012 Reference Manual, Poser Pro 2014 Reference Manual, Poser Pro 11 Reference Manual, Smith Micro Tech Support, and internet research. I also have Practical Poser 8. The Official Guide, by Richard Schrand, even though Poser 8 would seem to be several iterations behind Poser Pro 2014, and even farther behind Poser Pro 11 which I started using in December 2015, or Poser 12 as noted above. Most of the information in this Manual is based on my experiences with Poser Pro 2012 and 2014, and probably still holds true for Poser Pro 11 or Poser 12 versions.

  • Aplikasi Untuk Desain Grafis Yang Gratis
    Aplikasi Untuk Desain Grafis Yang Gratis Faisal Aditya [email protected] Abstrak Bagi animator maupun yang suka bergelut di bidang desain grafis software berbasis 3D adalah fondasi utama dalam merancang sebuah desain sehingga menghasilkan nilai seni yang tinggi dan kepuasan tersendiri. Namun software yang digunakan terbilang cukup berat dari segi biaya maupun kapasitasnya. Disini saya akan memaparkan aplikasi yang gratis agar tidak memakan biaya bagi anda dan juga bisa untuk belajar. Kata Kunci : aplikasi, desain grafis,free, komputer Pendahuluan Desain grafis adalah bagian penting dari sebuah lapangan pekerjaan yang sifatnya seni modern. Contohnya dalam perfilman, jika tidak ada software desain grafis maka pencitraan karya yang dibuat kurang menarik bahkan tidak menarik untuk dinikmati penikmat film karena sentuhan akan modernisasi kurang memukau dan juga sebagai alasan memadukan unsur fisik (nyata) dan rekayasa. Maka haruslah ada software/aplikasi yang mendukung.

Meskipun begitu tidak berarti grafis Tiga dimensi (3D) mudah dibuat. Untuk membuat grafis Tiga dimensi, maka harus dibuat dalam alat authoring 3D yang biasanya memerlukan biaya yang cukup besar untuk pengguna yang bukan profesional dibidang ini. Sebuah model 3D biasanya dibuat menggunakan alat pemodelan 3d. Oleh karena itu, saya pikir mungkin menarik untuk membahas ketersediaan sumber alat pemodelan 3D yang gratisan.

The changes were made by Tonja Canady for Atkins High School students. Any photographs or graphics taken from the Internet have a hyperlink to the webpage or website from where they were copied. In addition, some information from the original document has to corrected or reworded in this version. Furthermore, activities and answer keys have been removed; teachers should use the original document to access student activities and answer keys. It is my belief that this version is more technologically current, links to 3ds Max tutorials, and is more student oriented than teacher oriented.
