Computer generated animation is known as 3 dimensional (3D) animation. Creators will design an object or character with an X,Y and Z axis. 3D animation is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. The animator starts by creating an external 3D mesh to manipulate.
A mesh is a geometric configuration that gives the visual appearance of form to a 3D object or 3D environment. The mesh may have many vertices which are the geometric points which make up the mesh; it is given an internal digital skeletal structure called an armature that can be used to control the mesh with weights.
This process is called rigging and can be programmed for movement with keyframes. Other techniques can be applied, such as mathematical functions (e.g., gravity, particle simulations), simulated fur or hair, and effects such as fire and water simulations. These techniques fall under the category of 3D dynamics.

Unlike the traditional way of animation no pencil to paper drawings create the way computer generated animation works. The object or character created will then be taken into a software, key framing and tweening are also carried out in computer generated animation but are also a lot of techniques used that do not relate to traditional animation.
Animators can break physical laws by using mathematical algorithms to cheat, mass, force and gravity rulings. Fundamentally, time scale and quality could be said to be a preferred way to produce animation as they are two major things that are enhanced by using computer generated animation.
Another great aspect of CGA is the fact you can create a flock of creatures to act independently when created as a group. An animals fur can be programmed to wave in the wind and lie flat when it rains instead of programming each strand of hair separately. Examples of Computer-generated animation movies are: Toy Story, The Incredibles, Shrek etc. Uh, enough already..:) Got a picture how CGA works?! I always wanted to make such animated movie myself, like Shrek or similar..
And you? Maybe we could bring a community open project and build one for ourselves! So I call upon all mighty Artists, Animators, VFX's to join Enpower3D Community so we can discuss it! I would love that! You can share us your thoughts on Facebook post.
