Fast-Track Elements of 3D Animation

In the present era, India is an up-and-coming country with its express progress of 3D Animation and Visual Effects in media and entertainment industry.


 Furthermore, with the arrival of the speedy 3G and 4G services, it has turned out to be a godsend to the Animation industry to grow to a much higher extent rapidly.

Equivalent to the media industry, Visual Effects and Animation industry are quickly rising as a vital part of movie making, filmmaking, TV series, episodes and many more.

The Animation is essential in advanced work carried out by the different Indian studios, and it has bombarded on to the entire global Animation scenario these days.

As a consequence, the Animation and VFX industry continues to progressively grow global acceptance with the existing and new Indian talents emerging from every nook and corner of the world.

The Animation world is full of creativity and innovation.

The animation is of two types, 2D Animation and 3D Animation.

In today’s blog, we are going to discuss the various elements of 3D Animation and its implementation.

This blog is presented to the readers to acquaint them with the knowledge of three-dimensional Animations and its diverse scope in the field of Entertainment industry.

What is 3D Animation?


Prior understanding 3D Animation one is required to comprehend what Animation is.

The animation is all about the art of generating a sequence of drawings or pictures which is taken by the method of simulation procedure for producing movement.

The above process is done by sequencing consecutive frames that can stimulate motion by each image showing the subsequent images in a steady series of steps.

Coming to 3D, animation that is created with the help of the three-dimensional moving images is called 3D Animation.


3D Animation is not that easy to proceed.

It needs a lot of technicalities and focuses to execute 3D.

It is a process of producing 3D in a sequential way and the process is divided into three major subdivisions.

These three master subdivisions are modelling, layout and animation and rendering.

Types of 3D Animation


3D Animation is an interesting field to acknowledge and in the recent era, 3D Animation has preoccupied a major part of the Entertainment Industry.

The various types of 3D Animation are Digital 3D, Stop-Motion, Claymation, Celshaded Animation, Paint-on-glass Animation, Typography, Pinscreen and Pixilation.

The Fundamentals of 3D Animation


Near the beginning of the 1930s, the animators at Walt Disney Studios followed 12 principles of Animation while working on 3D.

A synopsis of the 12 principles can be acting, directing, characterizing reality, construing physics and editing.

However, these  animation principles were done to produce comic applications; today it can be useful in various other realistic characters also.

At the very initial stage, the thing that is required much is an effective planning.

An allover delineation of the Animation is vital as it helps to drag out the plan and the storyboard.

It is essential to look from the viewer’s point of view as you are making the show for the viewers’ entertainment so ascertain that the idea that you are implementing and making really can convey well to the viewers.

Always try to prepare a good story.

Sometimes even an ordinary animation would be effective if the story seems plausible and good.

In contrast, it is sometimes seen that even the best animation tools and techniques do not turn out effective if the story is monotonous.

Therefore, it is clear that the storyboard should be prepared much before starting the animation.

The animator must have a good grasp of motion principles.

Motion Principles


There are some relevant motion principles which are to be followed while working with 3D Animation.

Squash and Stretch



One of the significant regulations of the 3D Animation is “Squash and Stretch”.

The main reason this principle used is to provide a feeling of weight and adaptability to the drawn items.

It can be connected to such objects like a ricocheting ball or a bouncy thing.

It helps to squash and elongates to a degree that gives a comical effect.

The positive thing about this action is that the volume of the object does not change when squashed or extended.

Squash and Stretch are beneficial in exaggerating body formations for the purpose of comedic effect.

Anticipation


Anticipation is the basic principle of the 3D Animation.

It offers to direct the audience’s eyes towards the forthcoming action.

Timing and Spacing


Timing can be defined as the number of drawings or frames for a given activity, which means the speed of the activity on film.

On a simple physical level, correct timing influences substances to seem to abide by the laws of physics.

As for example, the weight of an object determines the way it will react to a momentum like push or pull.

Timing is crucial as it helps to set up a character’s disposition, feeling, and response.

It also aids as a tool to convey parts of a character’s identity.

Strong Modelling and Rigging


This fundamental aspect of 3D Animation is also called solid drawing.

The standard of strong animation implies considering frames in three-dimensional space, giving them volume and weight.

In this process, the animator is required to be talented craftsmen and needs to comprehend the nuts and bolts of three-dimensional shapes, life structures, weight, adjust, light and shadow.

Effective modelling and rigging make animation perfect.

However, present-day animators draw less as they have got the console level of computer facilities.

Solid rigging and modeling help to emphasize a lucid illustration of the shapes and figures.

But their work benefits incredibly from a fundamental comprehension of liveliness standards and their increases to essential PC activity.

Straight Ahead and Pose To Pose


Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose are the two ways to deal with the authentic animation process.

“Straight Ahead action” implies mining out a scene in a frame by frame sequence from the initial stage to the ending.

“Pose to Pose” includes beginning with drawing a couple of vital frames and after that filling in the interims later.

 Arcs


In order to add credibility to the Animation, the natural action is made to follow an arched trajectory.

The arched trajectory makes the work more plausible.

This can apply to an appendage moving by pivoting a joint, or a tossed protest moving along an allegorical direction.

The exemption is mechanical development, which ordinarily moves in straight lines.

Secondary Action


As the saying goes smaller things get together to make something large. Similar is the idea here in case of secondary action.

On this front, a secondary motion utilizes smaller motions to complement the main action by means of layers.

Staging


Staging is known in theatres and films. Staging must be prepared by using the characters’ poses to set the mood and atmosphere of the audience.

Several other elements are also there that includes “follow through and overlapping action”, anticipation and exaggeration.

In a cartoon character, the appeal is very significant.

The character and the story should be that much appealing that can attract the attention of the viewers towards it.

Slow In and Slow Out


The softness of an animation is administered by the number of frames the animation contains. As the number of frames increase, the smoothness of animation also increases.

Character Personality


The characters are made to act, staged and created with a unique personality that will interest the audience/viewers to the core of the story.

The qualities and personality are drawn in such a way that will connect and relate to the audience.

3D Animation Softwares


The renowned software for 3D Animation is Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk MotionBuilder and many more.

Thus it can be concluded that there are numerous elements of 3D Animation.


This blog is designed by MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Rashbehari and MAAC  Ultadanga in a way that educates the trainee 3D practitioners or curious readers about the diverse spectrum of 3D Animation.

So when you are searching for 3D and its several other aspects you have landed at the right place, MAAC Kolkata.

Utilization of VFX In Tollywood World

Visual Effects or VFX has now become an important sector in the Tollywood (Bengali) film industry.

While speaking about VFX it is significant to mention the name of one legendary person, Satyajit Roy.

He had advent the utilization of VFX in the Bengali Film industry.

His name is written in GOLDEN WORDS in the history of the Indian Entertainment Industry.

Here, we can proudly announce his name when we are talking about the iconic person Satyajit Roy.


During his time when technology was not so advanced and civilized, he showed the next generation the use of Visual Effects in his film “PAROSH PATHOR”, “GOOPI GAYEN BAGHA BAYEN”, “HIRAK RAJAR DESHE”.

In the Bengali Media and Entertainment industry, he is considered to be one of those rare geniuses of India who won a number of laurels from abroad as well as his own country.

According to the Wikipedia, Visual effects is chronicled as the diverse processes by which description s are created and manipulated exteriorly with reference to a live action shot.

The word is commonly shortened to Visual FX or VFX.

It involves the amalgamation of live-action footage and it also helps to generate imagery in order to create surroundings that look natural and realistic.

However, the execution is not that easy as it would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film.

The Visual Effects using computer-generated imagery has become available to the autonomous filmmakers during the recent times,  along with the preface of cost-effective and user-friendly Animation and Compositing software.

In today’s blog of MAAC Kolkata, we are we are going to talk about how holding his shown path the Bengali industry developed.

Visual Effects-Films


Among the various successful movies, the recent blockbusters hits are Yoddha: The Warrior, Chander Pahar, Yeti Obhiyaan and Amazon Obhiyaan.


Most of them have largely utilized VFX in the most innovative way and has presented to the audience a package of interesting facts overloaded with VFX.

Kamaleshwar Mukherjee’s Chander Pahar has been on the successful hit list in the year 2013.


However, it had received several negative receptions from various reporters and some of them come from The Times of India to the Outlook.

A face of The Times of India, Satadru Ojha is of the view that technically this film will be a landmark for Soumik Haldar and Subhankar Bhar, the camera experts.


However, the music is entirely operatic in its parts “especially the soaring opening track”.

He added further that it had been a great effort of the director as a lot of sweat is spent on bullets fly, lions roar, spiders crawl.


However, David Chute of Variety (magazine) told “The thrills seem to have evaporated from Kamaleswar Mukherjee’s handsome, slow-moving adaptation of a classic Bengali novel”.

In addition, he also remarked that the director of the popular adventure novel by Bibhutishushan Bandyopadhyay struggles mightily to bring in an epic quality in its representation of a young Bengali man’s spine-tingling African adventures.


Thus it can be concluded that the frame by frame hair-raising suspense of the novel is achieved with the help of Visual Effects right from the adrenaline-dripping opening sequence of a man chased by wild beasts, and keeping it up the cadence till the ending.

In the movie, some special scenes were made with the help of computer graphics.


Moreover the most notable of these are the scenes of the volcanic eruption and the sequence featuring the monster called Bunyip.

These things are a level of information to notify readers of the fact that the Bengali entertainment industry has indeed mounted up to the summit.

Use of VFX


Yoddha: The Warrior is a Bengali romantic historic fictional movie directed by the famous Tollywood Director Raj Chakraborty.

This movie has also efficiently used Visual Effects as a weapon in the filmmaking and production.

The VFX breakdown is performed with the help of Chroma key compositing.

Chroma key compositing is a post-production technique in VFX Pipeline.


Where we shoot our subject or character on flat Green or Blue screen and later we can able to remove the particular background with the help of software’s for background replacement.

As a result, this technique allows us to incorporate one image or video into another.

This visual effect technique is widely used to modify the background or to add something that is animated.

This technique is used in different shots in the movie.


As for example, the sequence where the procession is passing through the overbridge with the “Palki” of the princess the down view is prepared by means of Chroma.

The sequence of the falling down of Dev (the protagonist) from the Helicopter is also done through Chroma key compositing.


The legacy of Prasenjit Chakraborty is preserved in the movie, Yeti Obhiyaan, directed by Srijit Mukherjee.

The film is about the terrifying beast, Yeti which is believed to live in the furious mountains.

The small hut set is made through utter hard work of the technicians.



After completing the entire hut set it is transformed to the snowy mountain by helicopter and the sequence are shot by means of in-camera.

Though most of the sequences are shot through live-action and present live surrounding, few parts are done through Chroma.

Bestowal of Visual Effects
Thus from the above observation, it is perceived that VFX or Visual FX is emerging as a fast-growing industry in the Indian Bengali Entertainment Industry.

With the expansion in outsourcing work, the Indian visual impacts studios are ascending as far as innovation, labour, strategies and yield.

This portion creates live-activity imager and depictions by methods for PC produced designs CGI.

The VFX are utilized progressively by the visual media in Bengal and can be broadly made out of the extra fields like portion, TV shows and promotions.

It is seen that Indian VFX studios are delivering low-end work to the top of the line quality work for outside movies.

Step by step West Bengal is turning into a favored goal for outsourcing work due to the superb work, low-estimated generation, achieved workforce and great relational abilities.

The entry of Digital Media has concurred with the new part of the business and because of which the quantity of outsourcing work is additionally expanded in India.

This blog is written with a view to acknowledge of the developed scenario of the Bengali Visual Effects industry at a glance and its results.

Though further development is needed to advance some improvements in VFX, the present landscape show its future towards brightness.

This article is led down by MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Rashbehari and MAAC Ultadanga to present to the readers the huge scope of the Bengali Entertainment industry.

Exploring the Fundamentals of 2D Animation

.
Exploring the basic fundamentals of 2d animation is the topic of discussion today.

The Animation world is full of creativity and innovation.


 This had made a significant progress towards the Media and Entertainment industry and is emerging at a rapid growth.

The animation is of two types, 2D Animation and 3D Animation3d animation.

We are going to discuss the various elements of 2D Animation and its implementation.

This blog is presented to the readers to enlighten them with the light of two-dimensional Animations and its diverse scope in the field of Entertainment industry.

What is 2D Animation?


2D Animation can be defined as the creation of motion pictures/moving pictures in a two-dimensional environment such as through “traditional” animation or in the form of mechanized animation software.

The above process is done by sequencing consecutive images (frames) that can arouse movement by each image showing the subsequent in a steady series of steps.

These successive images are shown at a rate 24 frames per second or a rate faster than that and the technicality lies in this trick of fooling the eye.

With the help of the computer 2D bitmap graphics, 2D Animation figures are edited or created.



They can also be created with the assistance of 2D vector graphics.

However, the figures comprise of automated mechanized versions of the conventional Animation techniques such as interrupted morphing, BH ghosting or onion skinning and interpolated Rotoscoping.

The scope of 2D animation is wide and its opportunities are interesting.

It has several applications including Analog computer Animation, Flash Animation and Powerpoint Animation.

Now the thing is there are certain parts of cinema graphs that are immobile photographs in the form of an animated GIF file. This cinema graphs are animated part of the file.

Some characters reveal the use of 2d and its implementation like Snow White, Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, Mexopolis and the Simpsons.

The 2D Animation has x and y-axis line.

Types of 2D Animation



There are six types of 2D animation on which several films had been implemented: Cel Animation, Digital Animation, Path Animation, Stop Motion Animation, Sand Animation, and Cut-out Animation.

Varied Aspects of Photogrammetry

You might be wondering what this Photogrammetry is.


While development of the latest modeling techniques has improved by leaps and dives, the course of generating photorealistic models remains rather monotonous and time-consuming task relying upon the situation and whom you may inquire.

In addition to it, it is not always beneficial in a production pipeline to expend wide-ranging time in the creation of complex models such as humans, cars or any other real-life subjects.

In today’s blog, we are writing about the diverse aspects of Photogrammetry and the other scope related to it.

What is Photogrammetry?



Photogrammetry can be defined as the art of creating measurements from photographs.

In the Photogrammetry, the contribution and input are photos and the yield is characteristically a map, a guide, an illustration, a measurement, or a 3D model of some actuality or a scene.


A significant number of the maps that we utilize in the present day are created with the help of the Photogrammetry and photos were taken from the airship.

Sorts of Photogrammetry


There is a vast spectrum of ways through which Photogrammetry can be arranged and organized.

Though there are a few ways one typical strategy is to divide the field in light of the camera area amidst photography.

At this point, there are two types of Photogrammetry, Aerial Photogrammetry, and Terrestrial or Close-Range Photogrammetry.

The techniques of Photogrammetry are indeed unique.

Coming to the Aerial Photogrammetry, in this technique, the camera is accumulated in an aircraft mechanic.

Then it is pointed vertically towards the ground.

Subsequently, various covering and overlapping photographs of the ground are taken as the aircraft flies towards the flight path.

Though many of today’s projects are finished with the help of drones and UAVs, however, the aircraft has generally settled wing manned craft.

On a traditional basis, these photos are processed and handled in a stereo plotter.

The stereo plotter is a type of instrument that provides a chance to the administrator to see two photographs without a moment’s delay in a stereo view.

However, in the recent times, photographs are prepared via automated desktop systems.

In Terrestrial and Close-extend Photogrammetry, the scene is totally different. Here, the camera is placed on the ground.


Then it is handheld, tripod and shaft mounted.

Generally, this kind of Photogrammetry is non-topographic, in the sense, the outcome or output is not any topographic items like landscape models or topographic maps, rather they are illustrations, drawings, 3D models, measurements or point clouds.

In order to model and measure structures, ordinary cameras are utilized.

For the purpose of designing structures, criminological and mishap scenes, mines, earth-works, stores, archaeological antiques and film sets, once again ordinary cameras are used.

As per the computer vision community, this type of Photogrammetry is, at times, called Image-Based Modeling.

Previs



Previs plays a vital role when it comes to the complex objects.

It is crucial to solving issues of complicated things like Jack the Giant Slayer: a somewhat simply reestablished the entire London digitally.

Previs has made it possible to set up precisely what would be featured in the ultimate shot.

Instead of essentially reproduce the entire of London carefully; it empowered us to set up precisely what might be highlighted in the last shot.

A Previs Animation is not an easy cup of tea.

It needs a lot of hard work to accomplish.

A Previs Animation or Animatic is created to assist in stating your concepts clearly and reconsiders whether they are forceful for the time available.

Planning


An effective planning is necessary for the artists to start creating assets for a project. However, without effective planning jobs usually end up taking longer.

The foremost important thing, that is, the artist is required to analyze his/her requirements for the project he is beginning.

He is required to harmonize and organize the workload.

At the end of the day, you are needed to learn and recognize the fact about the various modifications needed to boost the workflow.

There is an assorted number of Production-management software like Shotgun or track, which is considered beneficial here.

However, if you cannot use such tools, then you will face a lot of problems while working on Gantt chart in Excel or Google Docs.

The reference shoot


In help of the photorealistic venture like Jack the Giant Slayer, real pictures are critical for Photogrammetry.

It is additionally fundamental for surfaces, camera projection and furthermore for reference.

As, in Jack the Giant Slayer, a shooting group was sent to the spot put (London) keeping in mind the end goal to catch unmoving still pictures and helicopter recording from the virtual camera way.

For projection work, utilize your Previs Animation to distinguish the pictures you require.

In the event that you utilize photographs that are taken to a long way from the perfect camera position, your projection will extend and separate.


It is studied that on Jack the Giant Slayer, 3D equalizer have been used in order to generate a point cloud of approximately 500 reference points from various different angles with 20 cameras.

After this process, a master 3D scene is organized that comprises of the cameras aligned with the photogrammetric solution.

This can be used by artists as a reference during the time of modelling.

During the shooting of the images, different camera angles are set and images are captured from diverse angles in order to encompass as much of the subject or location as possible.

However, without access to the 3D-Equalizer, you can also use other tools like Photoscan, PhotoModeler and Enwaii.

Getting-together more angle views will assist the photographer in getting a more precise world space position.

Though you are quite sure that your cameras are lined up properly, it is good to adjust your photogrammetric solution in the world space.

Several reference points are taken from different reference points from different buildings to assist you to process the photogrammetric solution.

Now the 3D scene is prepared to win a well-oriented manner will make the modelling phase much convenient and easier.

Building an accurate geometry



Working from Photogrammetry requires an alternate outlook to making models without any preparation.

The most widely recognized mix-up I see is, specialists, make is to concentrate excessively on demonstrating from the 2D camera view.

In addition to it, it is significant to assess the separation between articles to get great parallax and a decent feeling of scale in the final shot.

That implies making geometry from a point of view see too.

Camera Animation


Camera Animation is quite difficult to accomplish.

Prior to beginning refining models, a course first passes of the geometry is created.

As a result, it allows the layout department to begin work earlier along with planning the camera animation and adjusting stereo separation.

Projection Texturing


At the completion of all these procedures, projection texture elements are prepared that will be projected onto the created geometry of the image.

After finalizing all the texturing, window mattes are created based on the texture layers.

The window mattes would then be able to be anticipated through an indistinguishable projection setup from the surfaces themselves, for use as reflection mattes, and for reviewing purposes.

Testing resources inside your projection setup as they are made encourages you to distinguish what still should be made strides.

Making custom devices can accelerate this procedure.

Consequently, files are organized and CG elements are added to the setup.

Several assets are to be preserved for this purpose like buildings, trees, bridges etc.

At the time of delivering the final renders, the artist is required to provide the city and the sky as separate elements.

CG elements should be delivered individually and separately as a beauty pass with all the AOVs. These AOVs are generated by the artist.



Ultimately, the final composite is ready to be submitted.

This blog is laid down by MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Rashbehari and MAAC Ultadanga in a way that educates the readers about the various aspects of the Photogrammetry in brief.

We will be having Master Class on the said topic too at our center dated 3-3-2018.
