3D Animation
What is Animation?
3D animation is the art and process of taking real 3D objects and manipulating them by shaping them into moveable and animated objects. This elaborate and challenging process involves recording each movement and then sequentially playing all the individual images together to create animation ... or the illusion of movement. This can be done using sculptural materials like clay (the process is called stop motion animation / claymation), but today's 3D animation mostly involves humans using computers to create animation. It involves the process of generating three-dimensional moving objects in a digital environment by using 3D animation software. The term 3D animation is often used interchangeably with the term Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI), which is 3D animation created with the use of computers.
