Animation Trends That Are Here To Stay



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.

No, right? Here’s what you need to give your character some character and get them up and running. 1.     Theme your Character when you start out When you start out with your character, you essentially have a blank canvas.

Whatever the product is, it is much easier to convince a potential client or customer when you have the clear layout of what the final product would look like using the 3D product design. In earlier times, the purpose was served using blueprints and the process was ambiguous. But now most designers and engineers know the importance of 3D modeling for prototype development and to be in touch with services that provide the 3D modeling and rendering services. Using 3D product designs, your teams and other stakeholders get a clearer picture of what the product would look like. This way they can come up with necessary recommendations for the pro...
