WORLD OF ANIMATION

3. • INTRODUCTION
• APPLICATIONS
• DESIGN OF ANIMATION SEQUENCES
• GENERAL COMPUTER ANIMATION FUNCTIONS
• RASTER ANIMATIONS
• COMPUTER ANIMATION LANGUAGES
• KEY FRAME SYSTEMS
• MOTION SPECIFICATIONS

4. • Computer animation is the process used for generating animated
images (moving images) using computer graphics.
• Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation.
• From Latin animātiō, "the act of bringing to life"; from animō ("to
animate" or "give life to") and -ātiō ("the act of").
INTRODUCTION
2D ANIMATION 3D ANIMATION

5. APPLICATIONS
Video games cartoon Mobile phones

6. DESIGN OF ANIMATION SEQUENCES
• Steps for designing animation sequences.
1.Storyboard Layout
2.Object definitions
3.Key frame specifications
4.Generation of in-between frames

7. Storyboard Layout

8. Object Definitions

9. Key frame Specifications

10. In-between frames

11. GENERAL COMPUTER ANIMATION
FUNCTIONS
Amorphium Art of illusion
• Animation software provide basic functions to create animation and
process the individual object.
FUNCTIONS
Manipulate data
object database.
Motion generation.
Object rendering.

12. Raster Animations
•Real-time animations can be generated using
raster operations.

14. Computer Animation Languages
• GENERAL PURPOSE LANGUAGES:C,C++,Pascal, or Lisp(control
animation sequences).

15. SPECIALIZED ANIMATION
LANGUAGES
• Key frame systems
• Parameterized systems
• Scripting systems

16. Key frame Systems

18. Motion Specifications
•Various ways in which motions of objects ca be
specified as:
•Direct Motion Specification.
•Goal-Directed Systems.
•Kinematics and Dynamics.

19. Direct Motion Specification

20. Goal Directed System

21. Kinematics and Dynamics
• KINEMATICS:
• Motion parameters such as position , velocity and acceleration are specified
without reference to the forces.
• INVERSE KINEMATICS:
• Initial and final positions of objects at specified times and from that motion
parameters .
• DYNAMICS:
• The forces that produce the velocities and accelerations are
specified(physically based modeling).
• It uses laws such as Newton’s laws of motion , Euler or Navier -stokes
equations.
