There has been some research into a speech system for communications between those who are hearing impaired and those who hear normally, but the system has been pursued in inefficient teaching ways in which existing teachers teach each individual due to social indifference and a lack of marketability. In order to overcome such a weakness, there appeared to be a need to develop contents utilizing 3D animation and digital technology. For the investigation of a standard face and a standard spherical shape for the preparation of a character, the study collected sufficient data concerning students in the third-sixth grades in elementary schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi, Korea, and drew up standards for a face and a spherical shape of such students. This data is not merely the basic data of content development for the hearing impaired, but it can also offer a standard measurement and a standard type realistically applicable to them. As a system for understanding conversations by applying 3D character animation and educating self-expression, the character speech animation system supports effective learning for language education for hearing impaired children who need language education within their families and in special education institutions with the combination of 3D technology and motion capture.

The article deals with the reality subject of animations. Animations are created on the basis of fantasy. Disney's introduction of the narratives and styles of live action film into the field of animation, which laid a foundation for the hyper-reality animation, has produced an unintended consequence of marginalizing other animation genres which have emphasized fantasy through free experimentations of various images. A combination of Disney's world view of hyper-reality with later-developed 3D computer animation technology has made fantastic figures and spaces much more real than the real ones, and succeeded in creating a matrix of simulacre, a world of mere copies without the original.

In this study, we study the development and control of motion of 3D character animation and discuss the development direction of technology. Character animation has been developed as a data-based method and a physics-based method. The animation generation technique based on the keyframe method has been made possible by the development of the hardware technology, and the motion capture device has been used. Various techniques for effectively editing the motion data have appeared. At the same time, animation techniques based on physics have emerged, which realistically generate the motion of the character by physically optimized numerical computation. Recently, animation techniques using machine learning have shown new possibilities for creating characters that can be controlled by the user in real time and are expected to be developed in the future.

In recent years, as computer-generated imagery has been applied to more industries, realistic facial animation is one of the important research topics. The current solution for realistic facial animation is to create realistic rendered 3D characters, but the 3D characters created by traditional methods are always different from the actual characters and require high cost in terms of staff and time. Deepfake technology can achieve the effect of realistic faces and replicate facial animation. The facial details and animations are automatically done by the computer after the AI model is trained, and the AI model can be reused, thus reducing the human and time costs of realistic face animation. In addition, this study summarizes the way human face information is captured and proposes a new workflow for video to image conversion and demonstrates that the new work scheme can obtain higher quality images and exchange effects by evaluating the quality of No Reference Image Quality Assessment.

This article deals with the change of disney feature-length drawn animation since using digital technology. The spread of digital technology in the territory of traditional animation brought a massive transformation. Analogue production system for disney drawn animation was gradually replaced by digital production system and in the process, the overall quality of disney drawn animation was improved, although drawn animation industry had declined considerably due to the success of 3D computer animation. Currently, disney drawn animations not only just adopt digital technology but also use it for expressing the distinctive sensibility of the drawn animation.

3D animation production has had a pivotal position in current animation industry and the necessity of professional management tool for 3D animation production has claimed due to its sophisticated pipeline from advance of technology and global production partnership trend. Shotgun and Ftrack are providing the most appropriate management toolset for 3D animation management among the extant management tools and the efficiency of Shotgun & Ftrack is identified compared with the traditional document oriented management style. The biggest strength of production management using Shotgun is that all of the production staff can directly participate in the communication on the tools therefore they can share the information on Shotgun & Ftrack in real time without constraint of time and location. Moreover, all the process of the production and the history of the discussion on certain production issues are systematically accrue on the tool so that the production history can be easily tracked. Finally, the production management using tools contributes collecting and analysing the production information for the production management team in studios. However, Shotgun & Ftrack has metadata based retrieval method which cost huge amount of effort by human's manual annotation and it also has the limitation of accuracy. In addition, the fact that studios has to have technical professionals first in order to institute the tools into their studios is the actual difficulty of Korean studios when they want to use management tools for their project. Thus, this paper suggests adopting the content-based retrieval system on the tools and tools' expanded technical service for the studios as the solution of the identified issues.

This paper presents a semi-autonomous authoring method which can intuitively create 3D game/ animation contents for unexperienced users. In particular, this method considers their convenience to provide them with easier authoring environments. The 3D game/animation contents created by this method consist of several scene components connected to each other in a logical flow structure. Thus, it is possible to easily understand the overview of 3D content description for its production and manipulate these scene components for efficient management. Four different genres of game/animation contents have been developed by using an authoring tool based on this method. According to results of a survey intended for game developers who created game contents with the authoring tool, this method is shown to save contents development cost/time as well as raise the efficiency and convenience of whole process of contents creation to the expected level.
