The development of computer graphics leads to high value-added products, such as film, game contents, 3D animation. In realistic animation, it is impossible and inefficient to produce the movement of each objects as handwork to display the various behaviors of a lot of characters. So we need the techniques of the crowd animation which presents the movement of objects realistically and efficiently by calculating automatically. In this paper, we designed a modeler which generates the attitudes of objects in crowd behavior animation using information of 3D models. We developed an animation system for crowd behavior which was applied for animation, VR, or games.

Korea animation industry has a face with many difficulties even if the worldwide animation industry is booming stage. The funding of korea animation industry has been getting decreased from the outside which are ordinary investors and government since 'Wonderful Days' showed on the screen in 2003 didn't has enough box-office profits. In this kinds of circumstance, Animation producers should check out the current production system very closely and restructure improvement factors resolutely. It is very important issue that the serious problems that have been repeated in the past like the absence of planning skill and saving time and money through the improvement of production system. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to check out the whole production process used in the current 30 animation industry and analyzes problems, show the necessity of the production management program that makes a given condition of the effective production system in 3d animation.

The purpose of this research was to develop the method of media literacy education program based on animation production for the 21 century student. A total of four stages of educational programs were constructed by linking the media literacy education goals and the animation production process through the previous research. First, Acquisition of animation production tools for enhancing media access capability. Second, Animation production practice stage for strengthening creative production capacity. Third, the development of critical understanding stage for presentation and discussion the results. Forth, social sharing stage to strengthen social communication capacity. For the practical application of the education program, it was produced as an educational model for Hanseo University animation summer camp, and was educated by 79 middle school students in Chungcheong province. Based on this research, students improve an analytical ability and help them become active participants by creating their own animations. In future, it will be needed a continuous research on the development of educational programs using various media.

Government set violence as one of the important criteria when it rates movies or TV programs for juveniles. The purpose of selling this criteria is to prohibit the violence in TV programs or movies from affecting the actual behavior of juveniles. However, it is still under discussion how much the violence in broadcasting media actually affects juvenile violence. Korea once carried out a social experiment on juvenile violence media. Back in 1970, violent animation was popular in Korea and Korean government completely banned televising violent animations from September 1980 in an effort to prevent juvenile violence. Investigating the effect of this policy on juvenile violence would draw some implications. The result shows that the policy to ban violent animation in September 1980 didn't have meaningful effect on the trend of juvenile violence. The implication from this paper is that there is no certain cause-and-effect relationship between violent animation and juvenile violence. Another implication is that In-depth discussion is needed if this governmen4 policy is violating the juvenile's right to choose public media.

The caustic effect provides some of the most amazing indirect illuminated light patterns or scenery one could find in nature. We can perceive this in forms of twinkling stars, shimmering, visually deflected spoon in the water and other various occasions. To generate the caustic effect more realistic and effectively in 3D animation the understanding of the caustic effect and its application is very crucial. However, thor exists various factors in creating the caustic effect other than two main factors discussed in this paper and these factors will require to be studied and tested. In this report, various cases, which used the caustic effect to create more realistic scenery are studied and the role of the caustic effect played in various sceneries are analyzed. In addition to these case studies it is also experimented with changes in different conditions On the basis of the result of case studies, the report demonstrates how the caustic effect can be used to create more realistic scenery by conducting substantiate experiment and research on practicing 3D animation. With all of these researches, the paper is to present the education guide to produce more realistic scenery in 3D animation.

Subject of this Study is focused on set design for short animation, GHOST, made and presented by animation studio, BEYOND PROSCENIUM. Sets in animation have several functions. First, sets are a playground that character can play to lead a story. Second, sets explain background, which is time and space. Third, sets can visualize metaphorical meaning or symbolic system in animation. To obtain final design that is sufficient to those functions, this study analyzes the case that metaphorical and symbolic meaning from scenario is how to apply into set design also, mentions the method that designer multiply considers character, property and composition from the camera and movement from those elements. Set designers for animation should have ability that simultaneously considers so many elements and they need design skills to create it.

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 image calls forth the curiosity of the children. children experience the many thing through the image and it makes children to study naturally. Specially, the animation socializes children and it plays an important role in form of a self-identity. The gender-identity reappearance of the animation character is important. Gender-identity reappearance type of the animation character is able to classify with the reappearance type of visual information and the narrative. The narrative reappearance type does more clearly visual information reappearance type. Also classifying the gender-identity of animation character aspects into each type, they are; gender stereotype that character reflects the conservative and commercial ideology; gender non-stereotype that character doesn't reflect gender stereotype. But reappearance of the gender non-stereotype character as well, it is stopping in the exaggeration or the caricature of gender role of the character. Consequently the animation characters must be reappeared with the character which have the future oriented gender identity-as one human being that forms a value subjectively. The animation which reappears the future oriented gender-identity plants a proper self-perception and gender role in children and relaxes the traditional gender-identity which is already acquired.
