Olivera is an essential tool in the presentation of : product design output machine assembly detailing furniture designing architectural building presentations other various project presentations APPLICATIONS FOR ANIMATION FlipaClip - It's a great tool for beginners and aspiring animators to explore their creativity and make animated videos or gifs. SketchUp - a premier 3D design software that truly makes 3D modeling with simple to learn but powerful toolset that empowers your drawing to create more detailed presentation. Vray - is a 3D rendering software that combines real-time and photorealistic rendering. Lumion - is a 3D rendering software specially made for Architects that allows quick and easy visualization of your architectural projects. Lumion allows you to easily and quickly create quality photorealistic renderings and visualizations Rhinoceros - is used for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), rapid prototyping, 3D printing and reverse engineering in industries including architecture, industrial design (e.g. automotive design, watercraft design), product design (e.g. jewelry design) as well as for multimedia and graphic design. Blender - has a wide variety of tools making it suitable for almost any sort of media production. Professionals, hobbyists, and studios around the world use it for creating animations, game assets, motion graphics, TV shows, concept art, story-boarding, commercials, and feature films. FORMS FOR ANIMATION  TRADITIONAL ANIMATION Traditional animation can also be referred to as cell animation. It requires the animator to draw every single frame by hand. This is usually done on a light table that allows the artists to see the previous drawing through the top layer of paper. Well-known companies like Disney are known for using this type of animation.  2D ANIMATION 2D animation refers to vector-based animations similar to the ones used in Flash. This style of animation has been growing in popularity because the technology is so accessible. Although artists have the option of editing frame by frame, vector-based animation gives the artist the option to create rigs for the characters and move single body parts at a time rather than constantly redrawing the characters. It gives more flexibility to beginners in animation because they don’t have to rely so heavily on drawing skills.  3D ANIMATION 3D animation is also known as computer animation and it is currently the most commonly used form of animation. The process of 3D animation is very different from the traditional style but they both require the artist to share the same principles of movement and composition in animation. 3D animation has less to do with drawing and more to do with moving a character in a program. 3D animators must heavily rely on physics to create realistic animations. The animator creates keyframes or specific movements and lets the computer fill in the rest.  MOTION GRAPHICS Unlike the previously mentioned types of animation, motion graphics are not driven by characters or storylines. This art form focuses on the ability to move graphic elements, shapes, and text. This process is commonly used for things like television promotions, explainer videos, and animated logos. The skillset necessary for the other types of animation doesn’t apply to motion graphics because there’s no need to mimic body movement or facial expressions. Advertisements rely heavily on motion graphics and present plenty of career opportunities.  STOP MOTION Stop motion animation is very similar to traditional animation because it combines a series of still images that are slightly different to show movement. The largest difference is that stop motion uses photography and captures real objects. With stop motion, the artists take a photo of an object or scene and slightly moves the objects before taking another photo. The artist repeats this process until the scene is completed and uses each photo as a frame in the animation. It’s similar to a flipbook with photos. THANK YOU~
