II. DIGITAL 3D ANIMATION
3D
Overview and Introduction
This will deal with what 3D graphics really are. General thoughts
and theories.
2D
and 3D Graphics Foreword
Discusses the value of having good 2D skills before taking up 3D
graphics
3D
Graphics Working Methods And Discussion Of General Techniques
Gives an overview of the
types of 3D graphics working methods and the different techniques in
handling different types. There are three basic types of modeling: they
deal with Ploygons, NURBs, and SubPatch techniques. This section will deal
mostly with modeling.
3D
Graphics Texturing
Discusses basic techniques
that deal with texturing your model.Texturing is as difficult as
modeling and this is where some knowledge of 2D techniques will benefit the
artist.
3D
Character Rigging
Discusses the basic
techniques for “rigging” or setting up your character for animation. A
separate job in itself.
3D
Animation
Discusses the basics for animating in 3D.

Discusses another aspect
of production, the lighting manager, who is responsible for the clarity and
detail in a shot through the use of lighting and lens setting.
3D
Technical Directing
Discusses another
important skill in 3D production and technical direction. These are the
people who employ mathematical skills in order to create and render effects
which are beyond the responsibilities of the animator.
3D
Graphics, Putting It All Together
Notes on compositing
techniques, achieving a better workflow through rendering management.
