Examples of 3D- Avatar.

Avatar is a more recent example of 3D animation, and is extremely impressive. Although the models

and environments are fictional, they are brought to life by an impressive use of 3D. The models look

extremely realistic, more so the environments; but even though the Na'Vi characters are 3D models,

they are made with such realism and attention to detail that they could easily be mistaken for actors

wearing make-up.

Examples of 3D- Shrek.

The models in Shrek are a lot more detailed than the ones in the first two Toy Story films, and the

textures, especially the characters clothing and skin, are much more realistic. The environments

are more fantasy styled than in Toy Story, yet still retain detail, but this is just because of the theme

of the film.

Examples of 3D- Toy Story.

Toy Story was the first ever film made entirely in CGI, and was the highest grossing film of it's year. It was so successful that it had two sequels, a spin off, and countless merchandise. The models on this film are great, and much better than models from other things at the time. However, some of the textures, especially when it comes to text, are quite blurry, and there are a lot of plain, solid colours; but this works well with the fact that they are meant to be toys.



The textures for the second film are much higher quality, and the human characters look more believeable. Even though the environments are going for a cartoony look, they still look more realistic than in the previous film.



The models and textures for the third film are much better than in the other two, and the fact that it is made for high definition means that the detail is sharper, and clearer to see. This helps bring the models to life.

3D Design

In this blog I will place examples of 3D that I find appealing, as well as the work that I have made; showing the steps that I took to make the finished products.
