3D Animation Pipeline



sample of 3D animation pipeline




 3d animation process is divided into several important parts of pre-production, phase of production and post-production. There are good reasons for considering the design and planning process  for the development of 3d animation. 

PRE-PRODUCTION
(Planning and specification)



1. Concept and Storyboards




PRODUCTION



2. Animation
3. Lighting
4. Camera angles


POST-PRODUCTION


5. Compositing
6. Final animation approval.

My animations

In this post I'd like to show my progress. I'm attaching a movie that consists of my 4 animations played from  different angles I want to use in final cinematic.  It still needs tweaking and we have to add other animations but this is practically how my part is it going to look like

Secondary research



Week 5 - Motion Capture




Autodesk Motion Builder - is compatible with Autodesk Maya and other software from Autodesk. It allows us to visualise how our animation is going to look like and we can see it from different angles what makes Motion Builder an extremely helpful software for the animator. It is perfect tool for cleaning up the motion capture animation, pre-visualisation or character animations for 3D game industry in real time. I let's us for non linear editing of animation, modyfing  and adjusting every aspect of the rig movement to the other objects and obstacles. Also it allows us automatically adjusting animation of the movement to different rigs even if they differ with proportions.

On the lecture we found out how to use motion builder, how to adjust the layout, how to import files and all the basics needed to start the work with this Software. It was very useful for people who want to focus on animation career.

My four animations


In this post I want to show all my 4 animations before I put them into Trax Editor


    Video 1 - Shows the Extended Idle Pose



 





Video2 - My character crawling




    Video 3 - Calling for help
