What is computer animation? Simplest way to break it down is into the

categories of 2D and 3D animation. 2D animation is rendered in a 2D space Cartoons on the TV 3D animation is rendered in a virtual three-

dimensional space Uses polygon structures Main application in movies and video games

2D Animation Created and edited on the computer using

2D bitmap graphics Includes automated computerized versions of

traditional animation techniques 3 main types of computer animations:

Analog computer animation Flash animation PowerPoint animation


6/24

3D Animation Creation of moving pictures in a three-

dimensional digital environment Sequencing consecutive images, or "frames",

that simulate motion Eye can be "fooled" into perceiving motion

Rate of 24 frames per second or faster

What is Autodesk Maya? 3D computer graphics software runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows

developed by Alias Systems Corporation currently owned and developed by Autodesk,

Inc. An application used to generate 3D assets for use

in film, television, game development andarchitecture.

How does it work? Users define a virtual workspace (scene) to

implement and edit media that can be saved in a variety of formats, the default being .mb (MayaBinary)

Exposes a node graph architecture Visual representation of a scene is based entirely on

a network of interconnecting nodes, depending oneach nodes attributes and customization

Networks are dependent and viewed throughDIRECTED ACYCLIC GRAPHS

Maya Embedded Language (MEL) Cross platform scripting language Customize the core functionality of the software with tools and commands used are written in it

User interaction is recorded in MEL, allowinginexperienced users to implement subroutines

1. Unbeatable Value provides full featured 3D modeling, animation, effects and

rendering feature set matchmoving capabilities and high dynamic range compositing

2. Proven Solution a 3D tool of choice for companies producing leading film, games,

and television

3. Productivity optimized workflows for everyday tasks, opportunities for

collaborative, parallel workflows and re-use of assets, and automation

4. Performance

Uses combination of multi-threading, algorithmic tuning,sophisticated memory management, and tools engineered to elegantly handle increasingly complex data sets

5. Interoperability

Supports exchange of 3D data with numerousprofessional applications Allows assets created outside of Maya to be re-

used

6. Extensibility : offers Python scripting language, and an

extensive, well-documented C++ application programming interface (API) has a software development kit (SDK) to help

assist studios with pipeline integration.

Graphics are aesthetically appealing, attention-attracting, knowledge imparting, thereby,

fulfilling a cognitive role. Providing an analogical visualization tofacilitate mental model construction

Multimedia (Animation in Maya) subject insixth semester consolidated our interest

Study of Maya, as software and its applicationsand features Adobe Photoshop in order to texture the models we have created in Autodesk Maya

Supports common 3D formats; the new Adjustment and Mask Panels

Adobe Premiere is being used to edit the videos

faster at later stages of development
