Designers must give full play to their imagination when creating animated films using three-dimensional animation art, and maximize the real beauty and three-dimensional aesthetics of the art of three-dimensional animation to the audience. It is undeniable that the creation process of three-dimensional animation art is very complex, it requires the designer must have a high level of technical level, and must strengthen the communication and transmission of information to graphic way to convey information. The audience through the appreciation of three-dimensional animation art to deepen its understanding, to find its beauty, and then effectively enhance their own aesthetic level.

I. Overview of three-dimensional animation art

1. The connotation of three-dimensional animation art

As a new type of art, three-dimensional animation art is mainly in the form of pictures to fully display its beauty. In three-dimensional animation art, the three-dimensional sense of the picture has been greatly improved, more image and vivid. The main process of creating 3D animation is actually the designer in the 3D software virtual three-dimensional environment according to the shape of the object ready to show the size and location of the corresponding model parameters, and then select the model and the appropriate material, the model to increase the corresponding texture and color, the constant movement of the picture with the analog camera lens shot, and ultimately to create a vivid, image of the dynamic picture.

In other words, designers can use the art of 3D animation to create three-dimensional situations and scenes that can bring realistic effects to the audience. Auditory enjoyment and visual aesthetics are very important elements in 3D animation art. Three-dimensional animation art and traditional art can provide people with aesthetic enjoyment is different, the former can be expressed, including color, composition, scene and shooting angle and other colorful. Virtual settings, the three-dimensional space displayed is also very deep, while the latter can only meet people's basic aesthetic needs. Three-dimensional animation art through the simulation of the real scene to achieve the effective enhancement of the animation perspective effect.

2. Characteristics of 3D animation art

Compared with traditional art, 3D animation art has unique aesthetic characteristics, and it has the concept of space and time compared with graphic design. The design and production process of 3D animation art is very complex, which focuses on the creation of rhythm, line shading, compositional contours, and screen color and other aspects of art. In the process of three-dimensional animation art creation, the designer must abide by the laws required by graphic design and their own design rules, so as to ensure that the creation of three-dimensional animation art and people's aesthetic needs. The characteristics of 3D animation art include strong sense of reality, operability, high accuracy, etc. It can express many images and scenes that cannot be created in real life. Objective factors such as temperature or weather will not have an effect on the creation of 3D animation art, but the personnel who produce 3D animation must have strong change ability and high professional skills, only in this way can the quality be ensured. Some enterprises or companies will also use 3D animation art to realize a series of images that can not be reproduced, costly and very dangerous, and at the same time, further beautify the goods, which makes the design cost of the enterprise to be greatly reduced, so as to maximize the economic benefits of the enterprise. The designer's design experience, professional and technical level, artistic connotation and hardware equipment and other factors directly determine the final design effect of 3D animation. Three-dimensional animation art has a very complex production process, the production of three-dimensional animation consumes much more time than graphic design, but three-dimensional animation art designed by the picture is full of three-dimensional sense and sense of reality, which to a large extent to meet the audience's aesthetic needs.

The development of 3D animation

The computer is the main platform and tool for creating 3D animation art, so it can be said that the art of 3D animation is developed with the development of computer technology. The development of three-dimensional animation art is mainly divided into four periods: technical gestation, initial development, rapid development and heyday. First of all, 1984 to 1994 is the technical gestation period of 3D animation art. The foundation of 3D animation art is the application and development of computer graphics. 1995 to 2000 is the initial development period of 3D animation art, the first 3D animation film "Toy Story", marking the official start of the development of 3D animation art. Digital storytelling and digital animation were widely used in this period. 2001 to 2003 is the period of rapid development of three-dimensional animation art, with the development of two large companies DreamWorks and Fox, three-dimensional image technology is no longer the only technology to support the art of animation. The animated films in this period have very strong emotional color, and the combination of computer and human nature is also more prominent. 2004 later, 3D animation art formally entered the heyday. The animated films produced by 3D animation art spread widely and the number of films increased significantly. The development of 3D animation in this period is vigorous and diversified, which has largely improved people's aesthetic ability.

Three, the aesthetic analysis of three-dimensional animation

1. The beauty of the form of three-dimensional animation

Three-dimensional animation art in the form of expression is diversified, three-dimensional animation can be constructed through the art of sculpture, sketching and other diverse ways of expression to achieve. For example, the three-dimensional animation "Tadpole looking for mother" adopts the ink painting style to express the fun of various stories, which fully embodies the beauty of form in the art of three-dimensional animation, thus providing the audience with the opportunity to be able to appreciate the charm of China's traditional culture. For example, the 3D animation of "The Palace of Heaven" also conveys the animation story by adopting the artistic expression of Chinese painting, which brings an audio-visual feast to the audience. With the rapid development of society, other forms of expressive art such as sculpture are also widely used in some foreign animation.

For example, the animation "Chicken Run" in the choice of clay puppet rubber form of expression, which to a large extent for the animation brings the interest of children, so that the audience recall their childhood life. Short animation "Monday closed" in the use of animation technology to make the character movement exaggerated, so that the psychological changes of the drunkard more clearly expressed, which makes the audience in the process of watching the **** Ming, the animation has also been unanimously praised by the audience. In recent years, with the rapid development of computer hardware and software technology, animation is no longer a single display form, but produced an innovative form of animation performance, that is, the combination of live action and animation, such as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" uses such a form of expression.

The traditional animation art form of certain images can only rely on the audience's own imagination, but the rapid development of computer technology has given rise to three-dimensional animation, which can be better to the designers want to show the image performance. With the diversification of animation expression, the audience can not only enjoy the very shocking picture, but also the aesthetics of the subtle changes. At the same time, animation designers in order to make the audience more favorite three-dimensional animation art, created different images and scenes, which to a large extent strengthened the unique beauty of three-dimensional painting.

2. The modeling beauty of three-dimensional animation

Three-dimensional animation expresses the real, exaggerated, absurd, and ridiculous visual effects by way of artistic creation, which very accurately and realistically portrays the film and television scenes and characters that the designers want to express, so as to continuously bring people a visual feast. For example, in the animated movie "Snow White's Dwarf Power", the arc modeling is very consistent with the children's psychology, it can make the children watching the movie experience a warm and intimate feeling, through the display of animated movies, people feel safe and intimate, so people of different age groups will love such animated movies. In the process of designing animation, the designer should not only reproduce the real life, but also design exaggerated modeling, and should take into account that the film can bring the audience a sense of reality and the virtual difference between this unique viewing experience.

For example, in the movie "Walking Lola", Lola's running, hissing, exaggerating, etc. are different from normal people, and the movie is designed through 3D animation. By using the art of three-dimensional animation, the designer fully demonstrates the vitality of the characters, and Lola's vitality is also fully demonstrated, thus giving the audience a great visual impact. Therefore, accurately portraying the character modeling and ensuring its beauty, can bring the audience an unprecedented experience, it reflects the three-dimensional animation art of modeling beauty.

3. The virtual beauty of 3D animation

With the rapid development of computer information technology, 3D animation art has also developed a new art form, that is, the virtual beauty of 3D animation art. Three-dimensional animation art can intermingle reality and virtual, in the virtual animation world will be the reality of remodeling, to achieve some kind of people's fantasy. Three-dimensional animation art can be the real world can not exist in the scene designed to bring people a shocking feeling of the picture, the virtual picture will be displayed in the real existence of the picture, which also brings the audience a different kind of artistic aesthetics. For example, people in real life can not observe the extinction of dinosaurs for a long time, and the famous director Spielberg through the "Jurassic Park" this movie is very realistic to show the image of dinosaurs, so that the audience in real life to realize the observation of dinosaurs in this fantasy, this film by the art of three-dimensional animation for the audience to bring an unprecedented visual enjoyment.

With the wide application of digital animation technology in recent years, designers can use 3D animation art to fully display the images and creatures in people's imagination, which also largely brings the distance between reality and virtual life closer, thus making people feel more real when watching the movie.

American Hollywood has made a lot of science fiction movies, which have largely satisfied people's curiosity and fantasies about unknown things, and brought people a real experience. For example, the movie "Mars Rescue" uses the art of three-dimensional animation to show the state, expression and action of the characters realistically, expressing the survival of people in outer space. This movie not only contains some delicate and full of beauty plots in traditional movies, but also meets the audience's fantasy and desire for virtual reality.

4. The technical aesthetics of three-dimensional animation

With the development of computer information and Internet technology, three-dimensional animation has brought the audience an unprecedented visual feast, so that the audience experience the colorful scene effects. As a matter of fact, the characteristics of 3D animation art are the decisive factors for its technical aesthetics. The production methods of three-dimensional animation art are constantly innovated, and its forms of expression have been expanded, thus showing the audience many unexpected images and scenes. At this stage, in the process of producing film and television works do not need artificial coloring, also do not need to film shooting again and again, which greatly saves costs. Three-dimensional animation art is currently in the rapid development of an important period, many producers and directors are very favored through the three-dimensional animation art produced by the picture and the scene, the audience on the three-dimensional animation art of colorful means of expression also gave a unanimous praise.

Many movies have achieved success because of their realistic and vivid images. In summary, in the process of the development of China's animation industry, three-dimensional animation art plays a very important role, therefore, the study of the aesthetic of three-dimensional animation art has important practical significance. Analyzing the aesthetics of three-dimensional animation design can, to a large extent, strengthen people's knowledge and understanding of this emerging art, so as to better show its unique aesthetic value. Film and television creators must have a deep understanding of the connotation and characteristics of three-dimensional animation art, and then as far as possible to play the ability to imagine, maximize the three-dimensional animation art of formal beauty, modeling beauty, virtual beauty and technical aesthetics through the animated film to show the audience, so as to help people enhance the aesthetic ability.
