Introduction
3D animation is the process of creating moving images in a three-dimensional digital environment. It involves generating characters, objects, and scenes in a 3D space using computer software, and animating them to create the illusion of movement. Unlike 2D animation, where the characters and objects are drawn in two dimensions, 3D animation adds depth and volume, making the animation look more lifelike and realistic. From pre-production, modelling, rigging, animation, texturing, lighting, rendering to post-production, a 3 dimensional character can come to live with the use of professional software and tools like Maya, Z-brush, Blender etc
3D animation and character design for movies, games, storytelling and general entertainment have experienced rapid growth and diverse job explosion opportunities. The industry is just getting started as we move towards a more dynamic world economy of the metaverse and interactive 3D avatars. Securing a career in animation is crucial for everyone optimistic about the future and its possibilities. Despite the overwhelming demand for job opportunities in this field, 3D character animation could be challenging. Still we have qualified professional instructors who will make learning easy and fun for all our students.
