3D Model + Animation

Preparation and Planning
-Analysis of the technical assignment (TA): understand what is required from the 3D model (style, level of detail, animation, interaction with the environment).
-Collection of references: images, videos, drawings, or concepts that will be used as a basis for creating the model.
-Determining animation requirements: duration, smoothness, and style of animation.

Creating the Basic 3D Model
-Creating the basic geometry of the model using 3D modeling tools such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max.
-Detailing the model: adding small details (textures, decorative elements, clothing, etc.).
-Creating UV mapping:
Unwrapping the model for texture application.
-Texturing:
Painting or creating textures
-Setting up materials (shaders) that will control reflections, transparency, glossiness, and other physical properties of the surface.
-Optimizing the model:
Reducing the polygon count if the model will be used in games or other interactive environments.

-Creating Animation
Keyframe Animation:
-Setting key positions for specific moments in time. Animation is created by interpolating between these keyframes.
-Curve Animation:
Controlling the smoothness of the animation using a curve editor (Bezier, F-Curves) to make the movement look more natural.

Testing and Adjusting Animation
-Checking how the model moves in the virtual environment. Ensuring there are no unwanted artifacts, deformation errors, or incorrect movements.
-Optimizing the animation:
Optimizing movement, removing unnecessary keys, improving the smoothness or responsiveness of animations for real-time use.

-Exporting the model and its animations in the required format (FBX, OBJ, GLTF) that is supported by the software where the model will be used.
