3D Animation

The 3D animation is a technique for digital animation. This animation depends on the control of multiple processes.
In many cases, objects and characters are built according to three-dimensional models, and computer algorithms handle these models to create the image by simulating an incident light and treating the various effects. The scenery, characters, everything is built from polygons. Then we work the color and lighting.
The motion capture is to place sensors on the body of actors. Each sensor sends its coordinates to a computer. When the actor plays, the positions of the sensors are recorded in three dimensions. These data are then inserted into a program for creating images.

There are several software for 3D animation:

Maya: Modeling software and 3D animation of the mark Autodesk Super.

PackshotCreator : Software for creating animations for the purpose marketing, sales, or quality control.

3dsMAX : Modeling software and 3D animation of the mark Autodesk. It is used mainly in the context of the game, but is increasingly destined to architecture.

XSl : Modeling software and 3D animation of the Avid brand acquired by Autodesk

Massive : Software used to simulate crowds

Blender: 3D modeling software developed by the company NeoGeo and now offered to the community of designers. This software permits to create images and animations of synthesis.

Unity 3D : 3D real-time and multimedia (game engine)Cinema 4D : Powerful software used by semi-professionals.
