3D animation London is gaining in popularity
3-D animation is one step up from 2-D animation and is based on graphics that have a three-dimensional picture of geometric data. The data is stored on a computer for future viewing.
How does 3-D differ from 2-D?
3D graphics share the same base of algorithms as 2-D that are known as vector graphics. There is an interchangeabilty between 2-d and 3-d but not vice versa. Most people are familiar with 3-D models and that is what is used in 3-D animation. A 3D model can be viewed as a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object. 3-D models are used in housing show areas to depict what the houses being built will be like, and will also depict the whole site. That is the concept that has been transferred to film making.
Computers
Without computers the advance in 3-D animation would not have taken place. The models are built on a computer monitor with the creation of figures as skeletons. For 3-D animations all frame must be rendered after the completion of modelling. Computer software is the key to the advance in animated films and indeed of we look at the films today it is quite unbelievable to see what has been achieved. The software is very varied and will allow for many different types of animation but is the driver to the progress.
Uses for 3-D
3-D is not just for use in the area of film making but is a useful tool in promoting products. We regularly see adverts in TV that we probably do not even realise are in 3-D format. 3-D can also be used in diagrammatic form as it can be used to break down display units so that the viewer or indeed the potential viewer is able to see how a product is put together. It can also be a sales tool for say toys. It has been used to be able to demonstrate on TV what can be made from children’s self build kits.
3-D has brought almost unlimited progress to the film industry.
