APPROACH

A 3D version of the 2D animatic is called a 3D layout. The 3D layout contains basic 3D attributes.

The process of developing a geometric surface representation of any object.

Creating and applying textures (colors and surface properties) to a 3D model is called 3D texturing.

A bone structure is put into the 3D object, so that the animators can move different parts of the geometric object as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The movements of the 3D objects or characters in a scene or setting are created during the animation stage. Animation is usually the most crucial and time-consuming part of producing a 3D animated video.

Just like real-world lighting in photography or filming, 3D animation lighting is the stage at which the mood of a 3D scene or sequence is created.

When dealing with a 3D animation, every scene is separated and rendered into multiple layers including objects, colors, background, foreground, shadows, highlights, et cetera. The layers are going to be united again in the post-production stage.

The layers rendered previously are put together again in compositing. The layering process can be as simple as putting 2 layers together, or as complex as matching hundreds of layers and adjusting their properties.

Some visual effects such as sparks, dust, raindrops, camera shakes, et cetera, are more easily achieved in a 2D environment at the end of the project, without sacrificing the quality.

Color correction is literally the last adjustment we make to a 3D animation in the pipeline. This step makes each shot and the whole project look more consistent.

Video editing is used to structure and present all video information in a sequential order.

There are different options out there regarding the output format of the pipeline, however, the most common type is a digital video which is compatible with most digital devices and can be played on the internet.

A unique sound effect technique that involves creating and “performing” everyday sounds or matching sound effects from the library for the visuals.
