3D Animation
From a static model to a dynamic world
3D animation brings a digital model to life by simulating its movements in a virtual space, using techniques such as rigging, timeline animation, and simulation.
A storyboard is an essential tool in the production of a 3D animation. It consists of a series of illustrations or sketches, often accompanied by textual descriptions, that represent the key steps of a scene or project.
The storyboard helps efficiently plan the production by identifying the needs for 3D models, lighting, textures, and visual effects.
3D modeling is the first step in creating a digital object or environment. It involves building a three-dimensional model using points (vertices), edges, and faces to form a geometric structure known as a mesh.
Each step of the process can be visualized using different display modes (Wireframe, Solid, Material Preview, Render).
This progression, illustrated in the image beside, reflects the journey from a raw concept to a visually polished and immersive representation.
Set creation is a crucial step in 3D production, as it defines the universe where characters and objects evolve. A well-designed set brings immersion to life, providing a visual and emotional framework for the story or animation.
A successful set goes beyond being visually impressive—it tells a story and enhances the experience. Whether it’s a simple background or a complex, interactive environment, the set reflects the imagined world, allowing the viewer to fully dive into the narrative.
Lighting is far more than just a source of illumination—it sets the atmosphere, highlights emotions, and directs the viewer’s attention.
In 3D, lighting goes beyond technical adjustments; it is an artistic discipline requiring a sharp sense of composition and visual storytelling. Well-thought-out lighting can transform a simple scene into a captivating masterpiece, breathing life and emotion into every pixel.
