CSE 682: 3D Animatic
Assignment: Create a 3D animatic of your project
- An animatic is a tool to help you get the timing down for your project.
- An animatic is, minimally, an animation of your storyboard panels where each panel is held for however long you think the scene will last.
- A 3D animatic is where each panel is a 3D scene of your storyboard panel. Each 3D 'panel':
- should use a reasonable camera position to show the scene,
- can use simple camera pans and zooms to model what you think the final camera moves will be,
- can use simple lighting,
- can use placeholder objects (e.g. cuboid or ellipse of approximately the correct dimensions) for more complex objects that have yet to be modeled,
- can use simple keyframed animation to represent more complex keyframed motion or scripted motion,
- Most animatics include some simple representative motion and simple camera moves
- Search on the web for examples of both 2D and 3D animatics (if you just search on 'animatics', you'll retrieve 2D animatics; searching on '3D animatics' will, of course, retrieve 3D animatics).
