Research And Practice Of Character Building In 3D Animated Film Of Ancient Animals

The fossil resources of ancient ainimals that have been investigated in China are rich,large and varous,and they are widely distributed.At the same time,because many ancieint animals are very large and easily damaged,it is a diffcult problem to protecr:restore and develop them well.However,with the maturity of 3D digital technology,the protection,restoration and development of paleontological resources have better means.It can be said that making full use of 3D digital technology to restore and protect ancient animals with become the trend of the times.The three-dimensional digital restoration of ancient animals involves two fields:scientific archaeology and artistic presentation.The three-dimensional digital restoration of ancient animals needs not only scientific theory as support.but also creative restoration and developm ent by means of art.Only by adhering to the principle of integration of science and art cas we ensure that the restored ancient animals have both scientific authenticity and artistic appreciation.The author’s graduation design of the ancient animal restoration three-dimensianonal animation film "the ancient animal fan country" is such a.combination of science and art creation.Derived from the National Science and Technology Support Program developed by the College——the Digital Restoration and Development and Application of extinct Animals,the project successfully restored more than 100 species of extinct ancient animals.On this basis:the characters of these extinct ancient animals for the development of the creation of"the country of ancient animal fans" animation Film.From the lifeless,mutilated fossils of extinct ancient animals to the living three-dimensional model of ancient animals:to the animated characters with personality and emotion,this process has given those cold fossils archaeological data to obtain "life In animation movies.the scientific restoration of ancient animals and then the creation of animation characters can not only show the real prehistoric animals for the audience,but also use the unique artistic expression method in anmation creation to give it a deeper artistic meaning.It is a kind of real "activation" to make it more profound than traditional popular science video ".This paper is based an these two changes to develop the ancient animal three-dimensional restoration animation character modeling research.The author will explain how to restore the three-dimensional model of ancient animals according to the fossils of ancient animals and archaeological data,and how to further shape them inte characters in animated films.In the process of research,the perspective of science and art integration is a consistent point of view of this paper.How to deal with the relationship between scientific archaeology and artistic re-creation is also a subject that the author needs to deal with carefully in his creative practice.This paper is divided into the following parts:the first part is how to restore the ancient animals with science and art.the second part is how to shape the restored ancient animals into animation characters:and the third part is to demonstrate the animation creation examples of the Ancient Animal fans.In a word according to the experience of the project.this paper will sum up howto restore the ancient animals scientifically and axtistically,and then explain how to mold the restored animals with the examples of animation creation.And hope to provide some reference for the research in related fields.
