  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Animation Is a Process Where Characters Or Objects Are Created As Moving Images
    3D animation is a process where characters or objects are created as moving images. Rather than traditional flat or 2d characters, these 3D animation images give the impression of being able to move around characters and observe them from all angles, just like real life. 3D animation technology is relatively new and if done by hand would take thousands of hours to complete one short section of moving film. The employment of computers and software has simplified and accelerated the 3D animation process. As a result, the number of 3D animators as well as the use of 3D animation technology has increased. What will I learn in a 3D animation program? Your 3D animation program course content depends largely upon the 3D animation program in which you enroll. Some programs allow you to choose the courses that you are interested in. Other 3D animation programs are more structured and are intended to train you for a specific career or 3D animation role within the industry. You may learn about character creation, storyboarding, special effects, image manipulation, image capture, modeling, and various computer aided 3D animation design packages. Some 3D animation courses may cover different methods of capturing and recreating movement for 3D animation. You may learn "light suit" technology, in which suits worn by actors pinpoint the articulation of joints by a light. This if filmed from various different angles and used to replicate animated movement in a realistic way). What skills will I need for a 3D animation program? You'll need to have both creativity and attention to detail for a career in 3D animation.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&amp;M Repository SPACIAL GROOM A Thesis by LANDON LAWRENCE HAGAN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Tim McLaughlin Committee Members, Philip Galanter John Keyser Head of Department, Tim McLaughlin May 2015 Major Subject: Visualization Copyright 2015 Landon Lawrence Hagan ABSTRACT This thesis describes a method for grooming computer generated fur in a 3D production environment. Fur grooming systems that are included with the major commercial 3D software packages link fur grooms to a specific model's topology. This significantly reduces the flexibility to continue development of a model's surface edges, loops, and vertices after fur grooming has started. By using a method that links the groom to the 3D environment rather than the model itself, a groom can be transferred between meshes. This provides increased artistic flexibility within a production pipeline for both modeling and fur grooming. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT . ii TABLE OF CONTENTS . iii LIST OF FIGURES . iv 1.
