Animation is a type of optical illusion. It involves the appearance of motion caused by displaying still images one after another. Often, animation is used for entertainment purposes. In addition to its use for entertainment, animation is considered a form of art. It is often displayed and celebrated in film festivals throughout the world. Also used for educational purposes, animation has a place in learning and instructional applications as well.


Game mechanics can be briefly described as a construct of rules and ideas that allow for structured and enjoyable game play. Game mechanics are rule based systems/simulations that facilitate and encourage a user to explore and learn the properties of their possibility space through the use of feedback mechanisms. Constructs of rules intended to produce an enjoyable game or gameplay. All games use mechanics, theories and styles are different as to their ultimate importance to the game. In general, the process and study of game design are efforts to come up with game mechanics that allow for people playing a game to have a fun and engaging experience.


Computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks.  3D Studio MAX, is a comprehensive and versatile 3D application used in film, television, video games and architecture for Windows and Apple Macintosh. It can be extended and customized through its scripting using a Maxscript ( type-free language). It can use third party rendering options such as Brazil R/S, finalRender and V-Ray. Used for as creating software.



Learn Math. A game designer needs to know how to balance lots of figures in many dimensions. Learn arithmetic, algebra, probability & statistics, and basic economics. As well to learnhow to code in their specific genre. Many designers not knowing how to code will have a harder will have a harder time in what they are doing and accomplishing. It is understood that major players in the games industry all know how to code. Learn how to write, designers need to be great communicators on paper and off. Writing short stories is a good way to start. Learn other forms of writing, and try writing your own design documents.


An animation is composed of animation tracks (AGAnimationTracks), which are further composed of keyframes (AGAnimationKeyframes) of the same type. Each keyframe stores properties of the animation objects. When an animation is played, keyframes are interpolated, and the interpolated properties are then applied to the animated objects to create the dynamic visual effect.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics_software
1. a subset of both computer graphics and animation technologies

2. It is the creation of moving images using computer technology.

3. Computer-generated animation where the animation is designed on the computer system and 3D graphics software

4. To know your software and how to use it to its fullest.

5. Computer-assisted animation where traditional animations are computerized.

* Cel Animation: A traditional form of animation used in the production of cartoons or animated movies where each frame of the scene is dran by hand

1. 3D computer graphics

2. For 3D animations, objects are built on the computer monitor and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton.

3. coding languages such as C++ and C#

4. Going to college and receiving your bachelors degree in Computer Animation

5. 2D Flash, X3D, use software on the computer to render in real time.

* The differences in appearance between key frames are automatically calculated by the computer in a process known as tweening or morphing

1. The process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics. 


2.The typical "textbook" approach is to start with a concept or a previously completed game and from there create a game design document. 


3. 3ds Max, AC3D, Aladdin4D, Alibre Design, Electric Image Animation System, and many more.


4.  You need software that you will build the video game world in, You need software to manipulate images and graphics, You need modeling software so you can design and create your characters and items for the game.


5. All base codes from the software you have chosen.

Animation = Is really assuming and related to everything in life

In all honesty, I do not have in mind what I should be after graduation. Perhaps a doctor? or.. a scientist.. or, a mad doctor scientist.. Whatever pays more. I would probably be with something in electronics, like computers and maybe gaming or anything related to that. Animation wise, it connects since each material completed is like each frame or graphic created. Each and all is in patience, and is related in that way.
