Question I am starting out doing freelance graphic design and I have a question about animation.
I am desigining a character for an educational TV program. This character will be animated so that it can introduce different segments of the show and move around the TV screen.
I have produced a character for this purpose in Illustrator.
Do I have to draw all of the poses this character takes, or can an animator take the figure and morph it into all the poses with animation software? I assume so but ignorant of animation software.
Answer Hi Sandra.
Its not very clear from your question that your character is going to be created in 3d or 2d. But I will explain both. If you will be making this animation in 2d then you will have to make it frame by frame meand draw it in every position can lead upto 24 frames or images per Second of animation. The software can be flash, toon boom. etc.
In 3d animation a character is made from all the dimensions so you dont haver to draw it so many times and the animation can be done in a shorter time. But this requires good knowledge of the tool or software you use. Softwares for 3d are. 3ds max, maya, Lightwave etc.
hope it helps For any further query feel free to contact.
