Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Tools • SW for 3D modeling & animation: – Autodesk 3DS Max, XSI, Maya, Cinema4D • Other Composite software : – Autodesk Toxik, Foundry Nuke (ocula plug-in), Luster • Autodesk Maya : – Since 2009, Stereo virtual camera plugin is offered – Many major CG animation is produced by this including “Avatar” Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Graphic Modeling • Types: – Solid modeling – Shell/Boundary modeling Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation • Purposes: – Scientific visualization – Medical illustration – Motion pictures – Video game, Augmented Reality, 3D virtual SNS(Second life) – Architectural models (space visualization) – CAD – Art print – 3D Rapid prototype Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation • Hyun Ju Kim Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation • Kenneth Huff Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation • Kenneth Huff Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Animation • General Term A simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames. • Specialties – Animation ( Narrative, Experimental ) – Visual Effect – Motion graphics Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation History Ancient cavemen’s drawing -The very first animation -The trial to capture motion in their art - ex.Eight legged boar - Altamira cave of Northern Spane - ex2. Egyptian wall decoration-sequence of wrestling motions Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation History • Persistance of Vision -”Eye retains images when it is exposed to a series of pictures at a time” -1928, Paul Roget • Thaumatrope Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation History • Phenakistoscope by Joseph Plateau1826 • Zoetrope by Pierr Desvignes 1860 • Motion camera and projectors by Thomas Edison Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation History • Start of computer and its graphics – Ivan Sutherland at MIT - Sketchpad 1960s – David Evans at Univ. of Utah - 3D graphic algorithms • Historic figures in CG John Witney Sr., Charles Csuri, Robert Abel Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Animation Production Workflow Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Preproduction • Story/Script • Storyboard • Character and model design • Sound Design • Technical Test • Production Scheduling • Considerations for stereoscopic production Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Storyboard Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Storyboard • For presentation Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Character Sketch Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D GraphicWork Modelingby Olivia & WeissAnimation Model Sheets Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D GraphicWork Modelingby Olivia & WeissAnimation OrthographicOthographic Drawings Drawing Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Modeling • Character Setup • Shading & Texturing • Animation • Lighting • Rendering Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Modeling – Process of building characters, props and environments in the scene – most time consuming process, hard to reverse the result of modeling later on – planning modeling is important Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Neutral Pose • Chris Pose, modified Chris Pose, Harley pose Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Shading & Texturing - Process that adds realistic or stylized surface elements to the models - A material is created that determines the surface’s characteristics- color, transparency, shininess, bumpiness, reflection… - Bitmap image mapping, UV mapping for skin… - More adjustment later for final rendering Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Character Setup (Rigging) – Process of preparing a character so that it can be animated – Create skeletons and control objects – Binding skeletons to a character model, where a character can finally deform as joints move Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Animation - Process to create movement in the scene through out time. - Key framing - Block and refine technique (rough test by checking key frames without in-between frames) Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Rendering - The process of creating a raster image, sequence of images or a movie file from all the data constructed with the 3D scene - Rendering time depends on model geometry, number of lights, quality and size of output - Stereoscopic rendering involves two tracks of randerin path for the left & right clips. Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Production • Considerations * process is not always linear, you will often go back and forth adjusting models, lights, and textures throughout the process * the more efficient your scene, the better for render times * the more experience you get, the better eye you will have for efficiency * Understanding the workflow of 3D animation is first step of getting started!! Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Post Production • The process of editing 3D elements into final form, sometimes by combining with other elements such as film and video footages, and sound track Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Graphics Fundamentals Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Coordinate Space • 3D space is merely the virtual area in which you create your models and execute your animation • Why coordinate system? • to define the location of a point in space numerically • precise and understandable by computer • It is based on the Cartesian coordinate system, a geometric map developed by Rene Descartes Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Coordinate Space • Cartesian coordinate system Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation 3D Coordinate Space • Local & world coordinate system - Pivot point: A point which 3D computer program recognizes as the origin of the object. - World( or Global ) coordinate system has absolute origin of (0,0,0) - Local coordinate system has its origin as an object’s pivot point. Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation Geometric components • Point: - A location in space by using numbers given in the XYZ dimension - Has no size or volume. - Cannot be rendered • Line - The entity that spans directly between two points. - Defined by the X, Y and Z locations of two endpoints. - Edge is a type of line that is defined by adjacent sides of polygons - 1 dimensional( length ) but has no thickness, no height, no depth.. - Does not appear in rendered image Korean German Institute of Technology Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Modeling & Animation
