In the past few decades, animation has improved by leaps and bounds. Three-dimensional animation, in particular, has become increasingly prevalent in industries such as those of advertisement and entertainment. Through the use of 3D modeling, creators of movies, video games, commercials, and cartoons have literally created something from nothing. Various programs are available for 3D modeling, ranging from easy to use freeware that allows for more basic modeling, to commercial software used for movies and games. Using the more simple Anim8or freeware, we were able to explore the world of 3D modeling and animation, and although this site is not a comprehensive guide, it does offer some of the fundamentals. In this site you will find some of the basics of 3D modeling, along with some key terminology, product downloads to get you started, step-by-step tutorials to guide you, and a few simple examples of 3D animation.
