Computer Animations

In advance method of animation making, computer software has a great role. Animation is a graphic art that is unstable, uniquely run one after another within a frame area to create an illusion of movie. After compiling the frames, it generates a compact file that shows all the frames running the images sequentially. The computer technology brings the update methods through software that helps the animator putting his enormous ideas.
For making them, the animators should know some basic knowledge on Kinematics, Articulated figure, effectors, Geometric (key frame techniques), Physical dynamics, Behavioural in individual and as a group and Motion Control Methods (MCM) etc.
Kinematics is the study of the time related properties of motion such as position, acceleration, velocity and independent of the underlying forces that produce the motion.
End effectors are the free end of a chain of links, for example, a hand at the end of an arm in human character. Frame by frame motion in certain software is the best media for character motions.
For character (e.g. human) animation the type of information of primary importance in animating an object, especially an articulated figure is very important.
In a forward kinematics system the motion of all the joints in character is explicitly set by the animator. In inverse kinematics the animator moves the end effectors and the system computers move the corresponding positions.
One of the advanced animation software and a full featured integrated modelling, rendering, animation and real-time 3D game creation package is IllusionMage.com 3D Animation.
