3D Software's
Blender
Blender is a 3D modelling software which is used to create models and Animate. What makes blender stand out is the fact that it is an open source program. This means that since it is free of charge, it is used worldwide by all artists ranging from beginner to professional. Blender is also a flexible program which can be used alongside other software such as Maya and even Python. Since blender is an open source it has many tools which were developed by its community, further making it a robust 3D software.
However due to its recent creation, Blender is unable to be used by industries because many industries have already set a connection to other software's like Maya.
advantages and disadvantages of Blender:
+ Free Open source
+ wide range of tools making it a robust program
+ able to work with other software easily
+ can switch between 3D software and 2D software
- Lack of professional community service
- recently made program
Maya
Maya is a 3D software which is used to create Models and animations. Unlike Blender, Maya is not a open free source and requires a continuous payment. The monthly payment of maya is £246 and yearly is £1968. Maya is a professional program which has professional service, this can come in handy to many industries which makes maya more favourable compared to other 3D software. Maya can also cross platform as it is available in windows, Mac and Linux. Maya is wildly used in industries and is considered to be a powerful 3D software.
advantages and disadvantages of Maya:
+ Industry favoured
+ flexible software which can be used of multiple platforms
+ professional service
+ Powerful source of 3D modelling
- Long render times
- Requires continuous payment
Cinema 4D
Cinema 4D is a professional 3D modelling, animation, and rendering software, It's widely used for motion graphics and 3D modelling. Cinema 4D is known for its easy use and is popular among motion graphics artists. Cinema 4D is capable of working in multiple platforms and can even be used to code. The monthly payment for cinema 4D is £59.91 and yearly £719.
advantages of cinema 4D
+ powerful program
+ cheap pricing
+ motion graphics
- steep learning curve
- Has been known to lag in curtain times.
3D animation pipe line
3D animation pipeline is a form of processing which is necessary to create a 3D movie. These pipelines are used in many industries such as DreamWorks and Disney. The pipe lone is a process of planning which slowly develops a movie
the pipe line must be on accurate schedule because it one part misses the deadline, all of the industry would need to rush.
since the pipe line is so massive, it requires huge participation and direction from the leaders.
The animation pipeline:
1. Script
2. story
3. story board
4. animatic
5. Design
6. Layout
7. RD
8. Modelling
9. texturing
10. Rigging
11. animation
12. VFX
13. lighting
14. rendering
15. compositing
16. motion graphics
17. colour correction
18. final output
