Today after noon we started with other half of the video of Pixar. After watching full I understand that the beginning of pixar animation studios was so hard because back in the 1980s the 3D technology was just started also much more people wont accepted it. Mainly Disney played a big part in this because first time when Disney heard about the 3D they were also rejected it.Disney was doing 2D animation films that time there are lots of 2D animators there career may be in trouble because of this new 3D animation.
After the video Neil showed us and talk about Key Milestones of the last century that's mean How 3D change the industry or most important achievements of 3D animation and designs in movies.Neil showed us power point presentation.This presentation was about key milestones in 3D. I stated my own research on key milestones of 3D.Key Milestones of the Last Century
The computer generated imagery goes hand in hand
with all history of computer. this history makes CGI effects possible as seen in today’s world First ever computer generated imagery animation was made back in 1968 by a group of
Russian scientists, mathematicians and physicist . it was a mathematical model
of a moving cat across the screen
I am showing above the image of that 1968 cat animation from here to this day CGI made the impossible things to make us believable.
