Computer graphic where the most useful and effective production methods are used for animation or films has expanded into actors' performance beyond object expression, background expression and special effect. Unlike 2D drawing software focusing on user's sense, 3D mainly depends on hardware performance and software functions. Therefore, for 3D users, learning 3D functions is directly related to new expression, and quick learning and effective representation are keys to productivity growth in animation industry. In line with industrial needs, basic 3D animation software training is provided in school. Unfortunately, however, many problems such as lack of professional instructors, time allocation and education environment prevent various 3D animation software from being taught. Moreover, functional use does not live up to industrial rapid trends. In order to improve effects of software functional education in restricted education fields, this research aims to find out what functions of 3D animation software are used in industries, what are those function used for, and how schools provide 3D animation software training.

Since the first episode of (1995) by Pixar, a world leading animation company, 3D animation has been focused on realistic motion and rendering techniques. However, in 2018, 3D animation was released, with unique backgrounds created through illustration techniques and dynamic movements of characters that seemed to be produced by hand rather than computers. It shows a lot of difference from other 3D animations. In this study, I analyzed 's new production techniques and expressions into two categories, first, the use of old comics techniques, and second, other factors that made the animation stand out. in 3D animation market focused on realistic motion and rendering techniques can have positive implications in terms of expanding animation diversity. This study is expected to be used as academic or research data for researchers studying new production techniques in related fields.

The development of technology in traditional media is affecting a variety of ways. In particular, the influence of digital images, the animation turned to a realistic 3D animation. With the release of realistic 3D animation , Robert Zemeckis received much attention but the audience did not like the animation of this style gradually. Robert Zemeckis gave up 3D animation after that drew attention for having a huge production budget while failing at a record-setting proportion in the American box-office. A digital actor in realistic 3D animation looks like real but the audience know that it is not real and they know that realistic 3D animations and live-action movies are different. So the audience will experience an emotional conflict like confusion, hesitation. The visual completion in realistic 3D animation is due to the development of technology and technology must develop to connect the audience acceptance and movie.

In this study, we have suggested a method to create 3D animation based on STL files which are easily available on the internet using Blender, which is one of the most popular open-source 3D modeling SW. And the procedure of making 3D animation using STL file was compared with those for OBJ or FBX files as well. Contrary to OBJ and FBX, STL files do not contain information regarding hierarchy, material and texture which are very important in making 3D animation. Especially the absence of hierarchy may cause serious problems in rigging, which involves movement of unwanted parts of 3D object during rigging process. It is demonstrated that the weight painting feature of Blender could be a solution to tackle the faulty rigging due to attributes of STL files. The effect of the sampling frequency and the resolution on the rendering time is also investigated with respect to the 3D mantis animation. It is also seen that insect models by 3D printer could be used as a new type of pedagogical material in the elementary science education.

Game industry is one of the most popular sector in the world cultural industries in the digital era. 2D and 3D Animation with development of computer technology it. Because Animation needs to show real motion image. The computer hardware and software technique quick change it leads and 2D and 3D the animation is the tendency which provides the growth which is infinite. But recently Game graphic design have a trend 3D Game that is absorbed and easy handling. 2D Game Character is changing to 3D Game Character more and more. This thesis have significant the real motion capture of 3D Game Character and the types, the shapes of 3D Game Character animation. First of all this thesis will define about 3D Game Character as well it will be show examples of real motion capture also it will proposal data of real motion capture. Therefore it will be bring the high technology Animation industry with Digital Contents industry. also hope for the growth of Game Character Animation process and 3D Game Character Animation in Game industry as well contents industry.

3D character animation uses the various entertainment factors such as movie, advertisement, game and cyber idol and occupies an important position in video industry. Although character animation makes various productions and real expressions possible, it is difficult to make character like human body without anatomical understanding of human body. Human body anatomy is the basic knowledge which analyzes physical structure anatomically, gives a lot of helps to make character modeling and make physical movement and facial expression delicately when character animation is produced. Therefore this study examines structure and proportion of human body and focuses on character modeling and animation production based on anatomical understanding of human body.

The purpose of this study is to propose divergence from standardization of animation acting through working on investigating gestures comprising most principal exaggeration acting elements in animation acting. For this purpose, this study utilizes animation 12 principles and Laban's effort theory. This study respectively analyzes 2D and 3D animation gesture expressions that are standards for comedy silent film and derive commonness and difference from them. In the next, this study explores the possibility of how animation can utilize acting of comedy silent film. Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton used to be important elements referring to early animation acting, but as the recent animation technology gets advanced, they are not treated significantly any more. However, as 3D animation turns out to be chief concerns and the roles that acting, dynamics and performance play become gradually important, the necessity is on the rise that Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton's gesture performances should more prudently be reinterpreted.

This paper presents a new mode of expressing a 3D assembly work for creating a 3D CG animation without judgment by human from minimal required information. In the field of manufacturing, there are favorable movements in the utilization of 3D CAD for 3D simulation to shorten lead time for product development and pre-production. But simulating an assembly work has troubles to need huge quantity of manually input data. This paper discusses what minimal necessary information for creating 3D CG animations of assembly works is, focusing on the features of assembly works. Furthermore, a new mode of expressing a 3D assembly work is proposed as "state/change transition diagrams" (SCTD), which express arbitrary scenes in an assembly work as "state" and describe a sequential assembly work with "state" and "change", and the outline of its stepwise generation algorithm is also described. SCTD can be converted to a 3D CG animation of an assembly work without judgment by human. This paper focuses on the creating 3D CG animation of assembly works which workers use only their both hands.
