3D Animation Software
3D Animation Software is a software, technical-service or implementation offering with the deliverable named in the catalogue.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3D Animation Software establish a virtual world in the computer first. The animator usually starts by creating a 3D polygon mesh to manipulate. A mesh typically includes many vertices that are connected by edges and faces, which give the visual appearance of form to a 3D object or 3D environment. Sometimes, the mesh is given an internal digital skeletal structure called an armature that can be used to control the mesh by weighting the vertices. This process is called rigging and can be used in conjunction with keyframes to create movement.
Inputs, delivered outputs, workflow, supported interfaces and acceptance criteria define the commercial boundary. Software subscriptions, project work, hardware and managed services should be counted separately unless the edition explicitly combines them.
