Benefits of 3D Animations for YourProperty Developing BusinessWhat does ‘to animate’ refer to? It means ‘to give life to.’ An animator’s job is tobring a motionless image or an object to life by getting it motion and personality.When it comes to computer animation , software applications are used to draw,mould and animise objects and characters in a large digital landscape. Computeranimation can be created using two techniques – computer-assisted andcomputer-generated.

Computer assisted animation:

This animation is generally two-dimensional (2-D) such as cartoons. The artistrenders an object or a character by hand or using a computer. He then places hiswork in key frames, which creates a sketch of the essential movements. After this,the computer will fill in the gaps of ‘in-between’ frames using mathematicalalgorithms. This procedure is something that is known as Tweening. Tweeningand key framing are conventional methods that can be accomplished with handsbut are done much faster using a computer.

Computer-generated animation:

This is completely different from that of computer-assisted animation. This isthree-dimensional, which means that objects are characters are moulded with anX, Y and Z axis on a plane. There is no function of pencil and paper in thisanimation technique. Well, where as Tweening and framing are concerned, theyare still an important part of computer-generated animation.

Animators can compute objects or charactersto bind them to physical laws such as mass,force and gravity. It can be even used tocreate numerous elements to act separately.In this animation, the monster’s fur can beprogrammed to wave softly in the windinstead of animating each hair.

Computer-generated animation can be usedto create a realistic film.

“Westworld” is the first film to usecomputer-generated two-dimensionalgraphics. After this, more and more filmsbecame dependable on computer graphics to produce primitive effects thatwere programmed to appear computer-generated.

The growth of computer processing power has resulted in the enhancingsophistication and practicality of three-dimensional animation.

Techniques to create computer-generated characters

When it comes to creating computer-generated characters, one needs modelingsoftware programs. These applications are full of basic three-dimensional shapesknown as primitives or prims. These 3D shapes are actually building blocks thatare part of the more complicated characters. Take for instance, it is easier to form

a vehicle by adding cubes, cylinders, pyramids and spheres of varied sizes andshapes. This object can be viewed from any angle since it is a 3D object and isprogrammed on the X, Y, and Z axis.

There will be no surface colour and texture, when a model is created usingthree-dimensional animation. There will be just a frame of the object- the blocks,cubes, and spheres that are used to create that object. This is known as wireframe.

Once you have created your wire frame, it is time to colour and texture it to makeit look more realistic. After giving life to your model, get it light to give it a depthand realism.

When it comes to creating lifelike three-dimensional objects, modeling programsare really effective. This is because these programs contain mathematicalalgorithms to imitate the natural world.

Uses of three-dimensional animation

There is no doubt that the Hollywood uses this technology to the greatest extentto make films. Apart from being used in films, 3D animations is used in differentsectors like sales and service, supply chain and manufacturing and propertydevelopment and so on.

In the field of property development interactive animations are a great tool topresent a project in a proper manner. You can still find a buyer for your yet to bebuilt building project presenting your plan in a 3D animation.

So, next time when you have a client meet, forget not to have a 3D presentationof your architectural project plan.
