What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation?

2 dimensional animations deals more with drawing and framing and is the base of 3D

animation. 2D animators create frames to define a

sequence that are then moved at varying speeds to create the illusion of motion.

3D or three-dimensional animation has more depth and is more realistic The texture, lighting and color of the 3D objects are modified using software programs Film, advertising, video and gaming are the fast growing fields for 3D animation.

The animation historians at Disney say that “at most animation studios, the best animators only sketched a few animation drawings, leaving gaps in between. Later on, a person called an "inbetweener" would finish the scenes by drawing in between the areas that the animator had left. After the animator draws out key scenes, it is up to the inbetweener to take the images and create the characters’ movements in transitioning between scenes. Inbetweeners use illustration and 2D animation skills to complete the tasks at hand.

3D Modeler Modelers also create character skeletons, which animators then control. Modeling is performed using a variety of programs such as Maya, 3DS Max, Pixar's RenderMan, POV-Ray, and many others.

3D modelers create characters and environments for video games and 3D movies as well as images and modeling for websites, graphic designs, animation, film effects, simulations, broadcast design, special effects, characters and props for film, television effects, CD-Rom design, and location-based entertainment.

Page 35: Animation   pecs

3D Modeler Salary: Very hard to calculate averages given that most 3D modeling work is offered on a freelance basis. A contracted modeler for a major studio like Disney or Pixar can expect as much as $100,000, but it can be less than half that for a smaller company.

Storyboard artists draw storyboards for animated features, films, television commercials and other ad campaigns, music videos, and video games. The storyboard artist begins creating the storyboard after a concept or script has been written.

Storyboard artists draw scenes by hand or computer. They might sketch in black and white or they may produce full color storyboards manually or by computer. Also called “storyboarders,” storyboard artists work with producers, directors, and film crew from start to finish by sketching scenes during initial meetings, and editing or eliminating scenes as the project progresses.

Storyboard Artist Salary: In LA, the salary for a contracted storyboard artist can be as high as $80,000 to $100,000 but once again this can be half as much in other locations (and depending on the sector in which the artist is employed).

Mathematical ModelerMathematical modelers use mathematical models to illustrate processes or solve complex problems.According to mathematical modeler Nira Chamberlain, modelers pinpoint the essence of what makes something work, be it a jet engine, a social network, or even the economy, and phrase it in mathematical language. Modelers encode the main features of the process with equations, and then simulate it

Forensic AnimatorForensic animation is one of the most unique specializations in the animation industry. Instead of creating animation for video games, films, and cartoons, professional forensic animators recreate crime scenes or accidents to help investigators produce evidence and solve crimes.

Forensic animators use full-motion computer graphics to recreate events such as accidents, assaults, robberies, and other crimes.

Page 44: Animation   pecs

Forensic Animator Salary:  Nearly always freelance based, a forensic animator can

charge anywhere between $20 to $100 per hour, depending on experience.

Advanced forensic animators typically charge no less than $100 an hour, with an average of $125 to $180 an hour.

Render Wrangler When an animation is complete, somebody needs to make sure it is rendered down into a format fit for public consumption. That’s where a render wrangler comes in.Render wranglers, also called “technical resource administrators” (TRA), are accustomed to high pressure environments.

This highly detailed job might require the wrangler to monitor and control the rendering process and monitor a few computers or an entire render farm of hundreds of machines. Render wranglers monitor the computers to ensure (input/output) of data across various file systems and initiate data moves to allocate disk space.

Page 46: Animation   pecs

When artists submit completed data for rendering, the render wrangler prioritizes work and allocates machines. They monitor the computers around the clock to make sure there are no technical or computer problems that could hinder successful output.

Render Wrangler Salary:  Surprisingly low given the technical expertise

required – typically only around $15 per hour. The highest earners average around $81,190 per

year and the lowest average $28,980 per year

Texture Artist A texture artist’s job is to paint surface textures on animated characters, environments, and props. The number of textures animators work with is endless and may include things such as wrinkles, fur, scales, sweat, and mud. In some cases, the textures used in animation cannot be found in real life.Texture artists use a variety of software, platforms, and rendering environments to create textures for environments, characters, objects, and props for animated films, television shows, and video games.

Texture Artist Salary: 

$60,000 is a fairly standard mean average, ranging up to around $80,000 in some location hotspots.
