Newer animation methods involve motion capture, which records an actor’s live movements for digital animation.
3D animation uses computer graphics (CG) to make objects look like they’re moving in three-dimensional space. Artists use 3D modeling software to build these objects. Next comes rigging, or creating a skeleton for the 3D model or character. Animators pose the rig at strategic points, enabling it to move and perform a range of actions and gestures.
