3D Character Animation Process

3D animation is the talk of the town; its uses range from gaming to architecture and more. Companies frequently use 3D characters to tell interesting stories and promote their products. However, the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Here’s a glimpse at how we produce memorable 3D character animations.

01
Story and Script

We kick off the 3D project by drafting an engaging script based on the client’s idea and needs. Here, the animation and the story’s purpose are also considered.

03
Concept Art

Next, our team develops concepts for how the animation should appear and feel. Here, we lay the foundation of animation by designing the characters, environment, and artwork.

05
3D Modeling

Following the storyboard, it’s time to turn characters into 3D models using animation software – the process of taking an object and molding it into a completed 3D mesh.

07
Rigging and Skinning

This is where we set up the character to walk and talk. Think of it as creating the bone structure through which the 3D object can be distorted and controlled as needed.

09
Special Effects (SFX)

This step deals with adding special and visual effects to enhance a scene. VFX and SFX are powerful storytelling tools and could include imaginary/real elements such as fire, blasts, monsters, etc.

11
Rendering

It is the last step of the production pipeline – the act of generating the final render of a scene. Here, we pay special attention to camera angles, lighting choices, and other aspects that affect the final product.

13
Final Editing

This is where it all ends! The shot-wise and final compositions, SFX, VFX, background music, etc., are assembled here. We wrap it up by ensuring everything is synchronized and in line with one another.

02
Research and Development
