Sometimes referred to as 3D CGI, 3D animation is a type of animation that uses computer generated images to create animated scenes. Compared to 2D animation, or traditional animation, 3D has much more depth, and it looks much more realistic. An animated scene starts with one picture, which is referred to a frame. The next frame is a picture that is slightly advanced a few milliseconds in time. After hundreds or thousands of these frames are flashed on a screen in rapid succession, they give the illusion of a moving picture.

The majority of the animated feature movies and short animated skits today are created with 3D animation, and this is a rapidly growing industry. A career in 3D animation involves creating 3D moving images using computer software. These images are made with the use of digital models. After the models have been created, details are added, like hair, clothing, skin, grass, trees, and any other item that completes a scene.

The types of animations that 3D animators create can vary. Some 3D animators create long feature movies, for instance. Others may create shorter animations, like short skits, which can be used for advertisements or website animations. Some 3D animators specialize in creating animations for video games, and others create special effects for live action motion pictures. Depending on an animator’s area of expertise, he might also specialize in creating different aspects of an animation. For instance, one animator may create animated people, while others will help complete the background animation, like landscapes and buildings. 3D animators also work with several different people when creating an animated scene. For instance, they will often work with writers and directors. They must also coordinate the animated action with voice actors and music directors.
