Augmented reality (AR) has brought about a paradigm shift in the mode of communication and medium of expression. Among other things, AR is turning out to be an extremely riveting tool in communication that bridges virtual reality (VR) and the real world. It is the process of layering virtual elements over the real-life environment. There are many different cases where AR is making communication for individuals much more immersive.
At companies like Scanta, 3D avatars are being used to understand and react to voice commands on a real-time basis using machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI), which has machine learning as its backbone, can identify emotions of a user based on spoken words and deliver the 3D avatar that mimics the same emotions along with body movements.
What entails 3D animation
3D animation is the process of creating moving pictures in a digital environment that is three dimensional. Through careful manipulation of objects (3D models) within 3D software, picture sequences can be exported, which give the illusion of movement (animation) based on how objects are manipulated.
3D animation process is a system where tasks are completed at predetermined stages before moving to the next step. It is like an assembly line for animated film production. The process is broken down into three major phases: pre-production, production and postproduction. These phases incorporate tasks that need to be completed before moving on to the next one. Each step builds on previous tasks that were completed.
Phases of 3D animation
Steps involved in creating a 3D animation are explained below.
Pre-production.
