3D animation technology is the process of creating three-dimensional moving images in a digital environment. Unlike traditional 2D animation, where images appear flat and have only height and width, 3D animation adds depth to these images, making them appear more realistic and dynamic. In 3D animation, artists use specialized software and computer graphics techniques to create characters, objects, and scenes in a virtual three-dimensional space. 3D animations enhance website interactivity and engagement.
The key factors that drive the growth of the 3D animation market are the increase in use of visual effects in movies, the rise in demand for high-quality content by consumers and adoption of cloud for animation. 3D animation technology helps animators to build impossible worlds by adding height, width, and depth to subjects to achieve life-like details and realistic textures. There are different types of 3D animation technologies such as 3D video and film, interactive 3D, and virtual reality 3D. 3D technology is also termed as computer-generated imagery that helps in building realistic 3D animated environments, subjects and special effects using computer software. Furthermore, interactive 3D initiates an interaction between the viewers and subjects within the 3D environment. The users can move within the 3D landscape through the computer screen, controlling movements using a mouse and keyboard. Interactive 3D technology is mainly used in game creation. Moreover, in the case of virtual reality (VR) 3D technology, the 3D landscape is created using 3D computer software in order to provide an immersive experience to the viewers. Viewers use VR headsets such as Oculus and Google Glass to explore the 3D landscape. In addition, various techniques are used in the 3D animation industry to define the whole 3D animation environment. The techniques are inverse kinematics, fluid simulation, and 3D skeletal animation. Inverse kinematics, which is used in 3D animation, describes how a subject move to get to a specific point utilizing their natural body movements in order to create the appearance of movement. This approach manipulates the joints of a skeleton. Inverse kinematics makes the animation process easier, enabling animators to produce complex animations with little effort. This technique is frequently used to rig the limbs and legs of characters. Inverse kinematics animation is commonly done using software programs like Maya and 3DS Max. Using this method, animators may make a character bend elbows and knees, lie down, and do other motions. The movements are made by moving the final bone in the chain; the remaining bones will then automatically move into the appropriate positions.
The process of creating animated fluids-such as water, smoke, lava, stormy seas, and others using 3D computer programs like Maya, Houdini, and Blender is known as fluid simulation. This technique simulates fluid action to produce realistic graphics. It is used to produce explosions, clouds, flames, and other effects. To generate dynamic and realistic fluid simulation, it is also necessary to replicate the behavior of pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects. Movies, video games, and advertisements frequently use this strategy. Building the digital bones and muscles of the character is the first step in the 3D skeletal animation process. The character is given skin, and after that, controls are used to move the virtual puppet about like a puppet. The deformation of an item could be controlled using this technology, which is frequently employed to make animated human beings. Almost all animation systems employ skeletal animation. This method does not necessarily aim to mimic real anatomy or physical processes rather, it aims to control the deformation of the mesh data.
