Graphic design exists from the need to communicate with graphics. It can be traced from the cave paintings of the ancient settlers.
At present, everyday life can’t be conceived without the representation of reality as another way of transmitting a message. We live in an era surrounded by design. From the elements that we can have in our room, which have an industrial design, designed in a functional and aesthetic way; even the icons, logos and all kinds of images that try to convey an idea or emotion.
In this context, 3D animation is a new way of representing reality, through the simulation of the third dimension. Before we did it through painting, now we do it through the moving image, thanks to the development and advances of digital technology. 3D animation can be part of an audiovisual production or be all in itself.
The 3D design is the future, this allows with the help of other equipment such as 3D printers to create objects from a schematic design in Maya, Blender, etc. Apart from being able to use 3D design to create real objects, it allows us to expand our mind towards other things. We can innovate with this technological tool since this is the future. Although we are only in the boom of 3D design will be used for the next few years and maybe even forever. The 3D design allows us to represent objects from the real world that will serve us for learning, such as 3D animation of the functioning of the heart, that is just an example that will eventually become reality. Learning any 3D design tool would open the doors to the creation of objects in a much more versatile way.
The central objective of all audiovisual production will always be to communicate concrete ideas that by means of a correct discourse and language can be placed in the minds of people.
One of the most striking resources for audiences is animation in its various forms, it is a genre that, although it represents concrete technical difficulties, almost always offers positive results, especially when its production is carried out in an appropriate manner.
The 3d animation has become necessary in the audiovisual world to such an extent that many graphic designers study this new technique because of the demand that exists. Although the popularity of 3d animation is not because it has become indispensable in the media, but because it gives you the ability to have absolute independence in audiovisual production. You do not need a camera or people who care in the handling of this, nor do you need to establish contact with actors and logistics personnel. It's you with your computer and creativity. In this time where we all became audiovisual producers thanks to the tools that the internet offers us. 3d animation has become a new way of being independent and generating our audiovisual products at low cost.
Below are a series of things that can be done with the 3D design
- With the 3D design, I can create objects, and these become a reality thanks to a 3D printer.
- You can create representations of organs or functions of any kind and animate them with their functions, in this way an interactive method of study would be created.
- You can create characters or objects for games of the last generation.
These are some of the programs to develop 3D designs
- Maya
- Blender
- AutoCAD
- SketchUp
- 3ds Max.
