| To Download a Small Movie of Building a Home 3D Computer Animation Process 1. Like a cardboard model, 3D polygons are built into walls, roofs, sidewalks, etc. Photographs of materials can be fixed onto these making for a realistic appearance. Virtual lights and entourage are added and finally a camera path is created for viewing over a range of frames. 2. The camera moves along a path taking a snapshot at each location. Depending on scene complexity, each of these frame may take 3 to 30 minutes to render. Once given the commands, networked computers can run for days rendering frames. 3. All these images are sequentially laid to CDrom or VHS tape with sound for playback. |
