Introduction to 3D Animation

Modeling:  

The process of creating a 3D representation of objects, characters, or environments. Creating objects using polygons,sculpting tools to create details and organic forms.

Texturing and Shading:  

Adding surface details to models, such as colors, patterns, or materials. Define how surfaces interact with light, creating effects like metal, glass, or skin. 

Lighting:   

Setting up light sources in the 3D environment to enhance depth and realism. Simulates natural light reflection and diffusion. 

Rigging: 

Adding a skeleton or structure to a 3D model to make it move. Simulate real-life skeletal movement. Simplify animation by providing user-friendly controls for animators.

Animation: 

The process of making 3D models move. And creating all type of object and character animation with software.

Simulation: 

Creating dynamic and physics-based effects like water, fire, smoke, and hair. Creates realistic movement of clothing or fabric. Simulates liquid behavior.

Camera Setup: 

Placing and moving virtual cameras to frame the scene like in live-action cinematography.

Rendering: 

The process of generating a final visual representation (such as an image or video) from a model or scene in computer graphics, architecture, engineering, or other visual fields.

Compositing and Post-Processing: Combining multiple rendered elements and adding visual effects to polish the animation. Also adding effects like motion blur, depth of field, and color grading For Final Use
