Animation Trends That
Are Here To Stay
3D animation has come out to be one of
the fastest growing trends in the entertainment industry and for many good
reasons. With the release and success of several animated movies this year
alone, the audience is becoming more interested in seeing more fascinating developments.
In fact, animation has become a great source of entertainment for everyone. When
we talk about animation, it is important to keep in touch with the latest trends
to be able to grab the audience’s attention. Let’s take a look at some
animation trends that are gaining massive popularity.
CG-Generated Stop Motion
Stop motion is one of the most crucial yet highly beautiful techniques
used for creating an animated effect. These animations are not shot in a
continuous motion, but the characters are moved from one point to another
(almost 1 inch difference in position), and then photographed. Once a whole
sequence is completed, all the shots are combined and played at a fast speed,
which makes it look like live footage or a scene shot in continuation. This
technique is gaining a lot of popularity due to the release of movies like
Boxtrolls, Coraline, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR)
Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) is yet another highly
appealing and interesting technique used by many animators. In this technique,
animators make use of 3D software to create animations very similar to hand-drawn
art. However, these drawings are more blended into the scene, making the
animation appear realistic and highly impressive. A great example of this
animation technique is Wall and Chains.
Organic Influences
When animators add organic media into their animations, it
becomes extremely realistic and fascinating. Organic influences that animators
have been making use of in movies include watercolors and oil paint. This
technique makes any piece extremely memorable and mesmerizing, keeping it very
real at the same time. The Harrowing is a game which had its animation made on
this technique. However, they created CG- animated puppets to make the whole
animation look realistic. This technique is helpful in saving money that
otherwise had to be put into creating a realistic fantasy.
3D Printing
3D printing is becoming popular by the minute. This
technologically advanced technique can not only been seen in movies but in many
games as well. This technique involved the printing of objects and characters
using a 3D printer. The objects and characters are then shot using stop-motion
technique that results in a magnificent animation. Due to the rise of 3D
printers this year, this animation technique is here to stay.
Due to the development of new 3D technology and animation
techniques, animators are bound to create unique things. The demand for
animation in the market is high and people prefer to see animated films and
games more than ever before. The animation techniques have become so futuristic
that the audience expects to see more interesting stuff. The reason that
animations are changing the face of entertainment is that they are highly
interactive, engaging, and absolutely awe-inspiring.
