Bridge your reality and imagination with Lantech 3D Animation Workstations
Computer animation is the art of creating moving images with the use of computers. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D Workstations, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film. It is also referred to as CGI (computer-generated imagery or computer-generated imaging), especially when used in films.
To create the illusion of movement, an image is displayed on the computer screen and repeatedly replaced by a new image that is similar to the previous image, but advanced slightly in the time domain (usually at a rate of 24 or 30 frames/second). This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved with television and motion pictures.
Computer animation is essentially a digital successor to the art of stop motion animation of 3D models and frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations. For 3D animations, objects (models) are built on the computer monitor (modeled) and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton. For 2D figure animations, separate objects (illustrations) and separate transparent layers are used, with or without a virtual skeleton. Then the limbs, eyes, mouth, clothes, etc. of the figure are moved by the animator on key frames. The differences in appearance between key frames are automatically calculated by the computer in a process known as morphing. Finally, the animation is Rendered.
Lantech Workstations feature outstanding performance, excellent data protection, and advance management features for all Post Production and VFX studios. Lantech 3D Animation Workstations successfully meets the demands of render farms, 3DFX applications, or video editing and creativity suites. Single and Dual processor 3D Workstations with advanced reliability, availability, and serviceability features help creative professionals maximize uptime while reducing the total cost of ownership. | |
