Digital!!

This new project has us looking at 3D software. In particular, we are looking at Maya. Maya is a massive programme, plus there are many other 3d programmes to choose from. The main aim is to learn the basoc principles for all 3D software.

Maya, 3DS Max and others are all programmes under autodesk. This short video gives a quick talk on how Danger Close studios used Maya and Mudbox for the most recent medal of honour game.



3D is clearly becoming a popular form of animation now. It is almost expected, and most animated films that have recently been released seem to choose this medium.



Some films use the medium to create typical animated characters, but the ability to use different textures and clean looking characters is easy to see why its so popular as it does look very appealing. However it is far from restricted to cartoons and 'legends of the guardians' show us how CG animation can be used for painstaking realism. Disney would be proud!
