Task 3 – 3D Gameplay Animation Research

What is animation?

Computer animation, or CGI animation, is the process used for generating animated images. The more general term computer-generated imageryencompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to the moving images. Modern computer animation usually uses 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings. Sometimes, the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes film as well.

Examples of 3D animation

Basic animation



This is a brief example of an animation showing some basic physics. It demonstrated the simplicity of the way in which animation works.
Advanced animation



This is a much more advanced an animation, showing a much more advanced understanding of how animation works. In addition to showing advanced physics and complexity.
