Assignment 2

3d animation process

The Diagram had a 3 stages : -



















1. IDEA

• Idea which is starts of any
• animation process.
• from daily lives
• from our experience

2.storyboarding

Storyboarding process to determine what the animation will look like.
show the key visual elements at various points in the animation

there are 3 types :-

• thumbnail skecthes
• rough pass
• clean up

3.voice recording

• it usually involves sound effects, actor’s voice and music
• Music is more than just filling a gap, but it also reflects emotion and supporting the action.
• soundtrack will be mixed together

4.time division and planning

• Artist will use model sheet as a guidelines for animator
• Director will plan time and record in the dope sheet.
• to make the process smooth.
• to syncrhonize sound and animation

5.modelling

• the animation are drawn or modeled in two or three dimensions.
• ussually using on Autodesk 3ds max or Autocad.
• the drawing or model are not detail yet.

6. Materials

• materials applied to define their surface appearance

• Materials specify properties like shininess, transparency, translucency, reflectivity, texture, and of course, color.

• Proper materials allow viewers to identify objects such as glass, fabric and water.

7. lighting and effect

• lighting is important for creating realism and an appealing image
• Lighting allows us to control the appearance of shadows and highlights.
• Visual effects can be added as required, including glows, fire effects, fog, and lens flares.

8. Animation

• all of the stuff are put in the animation.
• ussually using adobe flash.
• this animation will use the direction of storyboard and the planning.

9. simulation

• to increease the realistic of the model.
• allow us to achieve realistic fluid, cloth, and hair effects.
• other than that we can make the accidents shot more realistic.

10. Renderings

• rendering is the process of generating an image from a model,materials, lighting, and effects
• Rendering takes all of our work thus far and calculates the individual pixels for each frame.
• this is the final process for production

11. editing and compositing

• change the sequence of shots or trim the shot durations of a given animation.
• synchronize the visuals with a voiceover or to improve the timing of an animation.
• balance the pace the information being delivered to keep viewers interested without moving too fast and overwhelming them.

12. publish

• the uncompressed video out of editing/compositing and converts this video to the intended format for delivery.
• publish to dvd, internet, or cinema.
