Animation and Computer Graphics
Published in Sreeparna Banerjee, Elements of Multimedia, 2019
Some popular animation tools include: 3D Max: Developed by Autodesk, 3D Max is a powerful 3D rendering, modeling, and animation tool for game developers, visual effects artists, and graphic designers. It has provisions for working with vector graphics.Flash: Adobe Flash Professional CS5 authoring tools create Flash projects like simple animations and video content. Flash applications are called small web format (SWF) applications and operate on the concepts of stages and layering. These applications are suitable for delivery over the Web because SWF files take very little time to download. Flash projects make extensive use of vector graphics. Graphic elements can be converted to symbols.Blender: Blender is an open-source 3D modeling and animation tool. Although it is packed with various functionalities, it is difficult to use. Blender also incorporates 2D and 3D vector graphics.AutoDesk Maya: Maya by AutoDesk Inc. is a powerful 3D modeling, visual effects, animation, and graphics tool. It can provide vector graphics as well as photorealistic images.
Mechanisms for Three-Dimensional Visualization
Published in Gabriel A. Wainer, Discrete-Event Modeling and Simulation, 2017
Autodesk Maya [3] is one of the leading commercial software packages for three-dimensional modeling, animation, and visual effects. The Maya software interface is fully customizable and allows users to extend their functionality from within Maya by providing access to the Maya embedded language (MEL). With MEL, users can tailor the GUI to fulfill their specific needs and to develop in-house tools. We have used MEL to create CD++/Maya, a three-dimensional visualization engine [12] that enables interoperability between DEVS-based M&S tools and advanced generic visualization environments. Users can create static scenes (providing the necessary background for three-dimensional animation of the simulation results) and use DEVS and Cell-DEVS to generate a log stream to record the events during a simulation. The CD++/Maya engine then loads and initializes the predefined scene file based on the model definition and overlays three-dimensional animation on top of the static scene according to the log data. Figure 16.7 shows the major modules defined in the visualization engine [12].

The experimental setup included a HTC Vive used as a head-mounted display with a pair of HTC Vive Controllers in the VR experiment. The stereoscopic images were rendered by an Intel Xeon 4110 2.1 GHz, 64 GB RAM computer with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. The Android application used in the non-VR experiment was run by a HiSilicon Kirin 970, 6 GB RAM smart phone. Our experimental programs were written in C# and both the VR and the non-VR applications were implemented by Unity3D 2017.2.1. Autodesk Maya graphics software was used for the 3D modeling and animation for scenes.

Maya is a well-known 3D modelling and animation software under Autodesk, and it is one of the important tools in the field of visual design. Modelling in Maya has the following advantages: Maya has a well-calibrated user interface and can easily build your own toolbox. In addition, Maya has a powerful modelling toolkit that can quickly and effectively model and save time.
