The foundation of any 3D project begins with Modeling. Every curve, angle and shadow should be considered by the modeler. Some companies hire individuals to only do the modeling of animation scenes. Successful animations are always the work of planning, combined with meticulous attention to detail in the modeling stage. This is the process of bringing your models to life.
Believable animation requires realistic movement and timing.
The animator takes on the roll of camera operator and motion designer in this crucial step to a successful animation. Once the rendering of an animation is complete, the final task is to edit the animated elements. In the Film and Video industry this is often referred to as post-production, but for computer graphics it is called the compositing process. This process requires planning, timing and attending to details such as sound, live action and other animated elements and effects. These elements are combined to make a finished scene.
