What is 3D ANIMATION?
With the success of companies like Pixar and Dreamworks Animation, 3D animation (sometimes called Computer-Generated Imagery, or CGI) has become the most popular form of animation among audiences.
3d animation is created by forming models of objects or characters in a computer’s mathematical space. These models are assigned with virtual materials, lit by virtual lights, and shot with virtual cameras.
The end result can be anything from a photo-real depiction of life to a wondrously fantastical vision.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Costs in 3d animation vary enormously. Simple motion graphics can often be no more expensive than 2d animation, but because skills in this field are more specialized, as the project grows in complexity the pipeline grows longer and more complicated too, adding to costs.
IdeaRocket generally delivers 3d videos within 5 weeks after script approval, but this period varies depending on the complexity of the project and can often be shortened. Rendering times in 3d can be significant, so that should be factored in scheduling.
3d animation is a technique that has broad appeal for audiences, but if your project depends on showing the topography of an object or place, then it becomes a hard-to-beat option.
The 3d pipeline is far more specialized than the 2d animation pipeline. For that reason, a 3d animation studio should have access (either on-staff or through a corpus of freelancers) to designers, modelers, shaders, riggers, animators and technical directors that are proficient at their craft. All the basic skills of storyboarding and storytelling are still required too.
