3D CGI Animation

The use of 3D Computer Generated Imagery Animation was first founded in the year 1968 by N.Konstantinov.  The use of 3D CGI Animation consists of creating wireframes of the characters as well as the objects and then applying the animation frames afterwars to make them look authentic and photo-realistic.  Films such as Tron and Futureworld are a couple of examples that have first used 3D CGI Animations to full effect.



Here is a list of the following that is used for 3D Animation:

- A PC or laptop
- Graphical Modelling Application packages, such as Anim8or

 

Advantages - 3D CGI Animations look more realistic and is more expressive compared to 2D and that the art of CGI animations can unlock so many possibilities that no other animation technique could ever achieve.  Furthermore, the additional use of lighting and shading in these animations also adds more authenticity to them and truly making them stand out and come to life.

 

Disadvantages - The use of 3D CGI Animation is very costly in terms of both the money invested into creating these animations and the extensive amount of time and effort that it takes into making them.  Furthermore, this animation technique also requires a sizable amount of both artistic and technological skill involved as well as advanced knowledge and understanding of the graphical applications that are used to carry them out.
