3D printing service and animation
3D printing service has intruded in almost all aspects of our life. Healthcare, space science, prosthetics all have found uses for this revolutionary technology. However one field which had not found any incursion by the 3D technology was the entertainment industry. This is going to be a thing of past. Already costumes are being designed and made using 3D printing service. One more area which 3D printing is going to play a major part is the animation industry.
A 3D printer is a printer which can print in all three dimensions i.e. length, breadth and depth. A 3D printer sprays and builds up layer by layer and create objects of any shape. The object could be anything from a ball, an airplane or a cartoon character. The 3D printer is connected to a computer which receives a file which could be an image in 3D. The printer sprays the ink layer after layer and the final result is the object exactly like the 3D image in the file.
The Pirates produced by Sony pictures was the first animation film which had made extensive use of the 3D technology. Using 3D printing service for animation was an altogether4 new concept and it helped to speed up the creation of animation models for the animation. One of the biggest advantages of using 3D printing for creating animation models is that it can be made as life like as possible. Another important role of the 3d printing process in animation industry will be creation of expressions which as any animation experts will tell you are the most painstaking part of any animation creation.
Another use which has been found for 3D printing service is the creation of 3D printed characters. The first Stop motion was made long way back in 1913 and it was the 41 minute Russian feature film, The Night before Christmas. Things have come a long way since then, though the principle of making them remains the same. Today we can see a physically created character moving around and talking e.g. the famous Wallace character. Normally clay models are painstakingly created and they are photographed and then moved and manipulated and then again photographed. This process is laborious and time consuming. The most difficult is the expressions and the manipulation of the mouth while talking. It is here that 3D printing service comes to the rescue and creates hundreds of expressions which can be printed and applied on the face of the character. This saves both time and labor to a very large extent.
