3D Computer Animation: The Skills and Training You Need

3d animation or graphics make use of a 3 dimensional depiction of content that is in geometric form
for the reason of rendering images that are in two dimensional forms. The usage of 3d animation may
be immense. It may be used in computer graphic applications, making 3d animation games and even
cartoon films for the kids. 3d animation may also be used in corporate reports and in websites and
consequently because of their three dimensional nature make a better impact and sound understanding.
Similarity and difference between 3d animation and 2d animation Although there is an entire dimension
addition in 3d animation when compared to 2d, yet the basic algorithm on which 3d animation rely upon
is the same in both the case. This simailarity is apparent in the wire frame format mainly.
The difference between the 2d and 3d animation is not enough. They both use each other to get the
desired effects. For example 2d animation uses 3d effects like lighting and at the same time,
the 3d animation uses rendering techniques that are taught in 2d. although there are differences
like a 3d animation is technically not a graphic till the time it is rendered in such a way that visually
it attains the stature of 3d. Thus, in order to be trained in 3d animation, one needs to be skilled in 2d
graphics as well.

3d animation training

Bringing characters to life is not as easy as it appears. It needs a lot of practice and hard work.
Although with a proper training in visual effects and an in-depth knowledge of 2d graphics and
3d animation, one can easily create, out of the world website, design products, make games that
truly belong to the next generation and much more.
The answer such high goals and aspirations is a thorough and strong knowledge of Graphics and
the various packages that may help you to render a sketch into life. Some of the packages that
may make you a skilled in 3d animation are flash, macromedia etc. But before you know such 3d
animation packages, it’s always advised to have an idea and perfection in packages like Photoshop
that forms the basis of any graphic activity.

The 3d animation is taught in various schools and institutes focused in animation and communication design.
Different institutes have different curriculum to offer its students in order to train them into skilled animators.
Usually, computer animation courses include 2d and 3d animation, digital arts, digital animation course,
editing and visual effect course etc.
The best part about 3d animation is that
even professionals can excel the art by doing some online courses
in the same field that enriches their art further and make them further skilled and expertise animators.

The Basic 3d animation knowledge

·Developing primary characters by using bouncing ball principle.
·Understanding the anatomy of the character and setting models with the help of knowledge in proportions.
·Colour theory knowledge.
·Bone structure and skin textures.
·Colour rendering.

The Intermediate 3d animation skills
·Modeling the character and understanding mesh tool.
·Shading skills
·Sketching and rigging skills.
·Software knowledge and making their use.

Advanced 3d animation training
·Conceptualizing an animation along with facial features and creating full fleshed characters.
·Making short animation movie.
·Shading, lighting and rendering using layers.
·Giving the final fluid effect. Practically using all the packages together along with sketching to get the
perfection in 3d animation.
