The History Of 3D Animation Toronto

By Linda Ruiz


Three dimensional animation films have been around for a very long time now as movie making bodies like Pixar or Disney would make them. Of course even the big movies would make use of the techniques in 3d animation toronto in order to make their special effects. Now if one would want to know more about this type of animation, here is a brief history of how it started and how it evolved.

Now just to give an idea of how these types of animations are made, basically, creators would make use of three dimensional objects and put them together. Once they would put these objects together, they would then make them move so that short film is born. The animators would be making use of either physical objects or digital ones.

Now the pioneer of all three dimensional animations would be none other than the classic stop motion. Stop motion is also known as claymation and it is the act of using clay figures in order to make a short film or movie. Basically, one would take pictures of clay figures doing various poses and putting them together in order to make a movie.

In order to make a stop motion film, one would first have to make a figure that is made out of clay and then make him strike a pose. From there, he will take a picture of that figure doing a pose then make him do another pose and just repeat the process. Eventually, he will collect all the pictures he took and put them together in order to make film.

Now even though stop motion was already consider an innovative way to create animations, it was too hard and took too long. So what people did is that they made use of images in the computer in order to do something similar. Now Frederic Parke made a three dimensional head while Edwin Catmull made a hand. Now in the seventies, they collaborated together and made Futureworld, a film with a lot of 3d animation effects.

Soon during the seventies, eighties, and nineties, many of these types of animations were incorporated into big time films in order to create the special effects. Some of these films were Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and the Terminator. By making use of the raw three dimensional images, they were able to merge it with realistic objects.

Now one of the first full three dimensional movies to ever come out in the screen was none other than Toy Story in the year 1995. This was a big thing at that time because it actually the first 3d animation film to make it to the big screen. Because of this one film, there were many more famous ones that followed.

Computer artists would often make use of this type of animation in order to create very interesting films and even special effects for movies. The place that is very famous for very experienced computer artists in this field would be Toronto, Ontario. Many artists in this field would come from this place and these people are known for their creativity.
