The storyboard is developed with the concept in mind. Creativity plays major role at this stage. A frame-by frame concept and flow of animation, with characters and background is developed.
MODELLING
Character sketches are translated into the computer for use in 3D animation. They may be scanned models that need extensive clean up. Many software packages and translation programs are used for this purpose.
TEXTURING
Involves giving textures and shades to models or objects to give a realistic look and feel to them. Models are given characterisics like that of wood or metals, water or glass which have properties like reflection and refraction, transparency and highlight.
ANIMATION
Encompasses all that is expected to breathe life into an object. Involves constant usage of all the elements that make animation a skll. Animators work on multiple platforms with many Hign-end programs. The most crucial process in 3D animation.
RENDERING
Several techniques are used to give surfaces reality and unreality.
VISUAL FX
Advanced software and programs are used to create lifelike and fantastic effects. Creating Visual FX requires maximum skill development.
