IDM Project Assignment: Research 3D Animation production workflow - MAXON C4D When creating a 3d project, there are a number of steps and disciplines involved. And those steps are called 3d pipeline. We first go to the pre-production process of creating artwork to illustrate the look of characters. We will also create storyboards to give role map to follow when creating the shots. From here, we can begin to create all of the models that we are need for animation, this will involve modeling the objects, adding materials and textures. Once the characters are built, rigs can be added to allow for the control their movements. Animator can use these rigs to animate the characters with the scene based on the storyboard. Finally, the shots will have …show more content…
You can see a prototype that every stages come together. They will set movement by keying frames in a timeline. 3D animation is basically a digital version of 2D animation. It creates an illusion of motion by using some poses and playing it over an amount of frames. Animators make the characters or objects come to real life. Adding target camera is a part of animation. The camera movement can make your project be professional because viewers follow it to watch the animation and it can give audiences different feelings. You can use camera to change the viewer’s perspective letting the project scene look bigger, smaller, or even scarier. Camera movement can show and explain the story better and to enhance the viewer 's experience. There are many kinds of camera movements such as pan, tilt, pedestal and dolly. Lighting & Rendering The shots will have lighting added and can be rendered out. Different kinds of lights can be used in cinema 4D, such as spot light, target light and so no. And you can change the type and shadow of lights which can make the objects or characters be more stereoscopic. Lighting is not an easy process, and it will be with practice, you can get the effect you
