Production
3D Layout
The 3D layout contains basic 3D attributes such as the characters size, shape, environment, a simple animation of the characters, and proxy geometry.
3D Modeling
3D modeling is the process of developing a geometric surface representation of any object in a specialized 3D software.
3D Texturing
The process of creating and applying textures (color and surface properties) to a 3D model is called 3D texturing.
3D Rigging
During the rigging process, 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.
3D Animation
The movement of the 3D objects or characters in a scene or setting are created during the animation stage.
VFX
A 3D animator animates almost everything, but elements like hair, water, fire, clothes, or dust, key-framing elements are created during VFX components.
Lighting
Just like the 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 through light based on the pre-production designs.
Rendering
when dealing with a 3D animation, every scene is separated and rendered into multiple layers, including objects, colors, background, foreground, shadows, and highlights.
