Animation & Modeling

Animation is the technique of displaying a sequence of pictures or frames to create an illusion of movement. There are two main types: 2D animation displays frames in a two-dimensional environment, while 3D animation models objects and their motion in a three-dimensional rendering. Computer animation software enables creating both 2D and 3D animations for presentations. The key components of 3D animation are models describing objects, animating how objects move, and rendering the images.

Cartoons on television is one example of animation

There are many software applications that enable you to create animations that you can display on a computer monitor

Animation techniques

2D Animation (Past) 3D Animation (Present)

The creation of moving pictures in a two-dimensional

environment, such as through computerized animation


software.

This is done by sequencing consecutive images, or "frames",

that simulate motion by each image showing the next in a


gradual progression of steps.

The eye can be "fooled" into perceiving motion when

these consecutive images are shown at a rate of 24 frames per


second or faster.

Its animating the object to look in 3 dimension like experiencing 3 dimension in viewing.

3 Main components of 3D Animation.

Model, describing the elements of a object.


Animate, specifies how the objects move in the environment.

Render, converts the information (object and their motion) into


images.

Difference Between Animation & Video

Video takes continuous motion and breaks it up into

discrete frames

animation starts with independent pictures and puts

them together to form the illusion of continuous


motion.

Example of Animation
The bouncing ball animation consists of these six frames

Collection of objects connected together by joints.

The collection of joints resembles a Hierarchy tree-like structure.

Moving the elbow would affect the

location of the wrists position.

Collection of points in space. Particles move or collide with each other is decided by a set motion.

A set motion is determined by a set of rules, i.e.:


The laws of physics.

Examples are water splash, smoke, a flock of birds


flying.

Models similar to articulated but without the defined joints.

The structure of the object is too great to implement joints.

Examples: water, hair, rocks, ground.

The diver represents an articulated object

The body of water is a deformed object.

The splash of course would be a particle system
