Skill Of Creative Three-dimensional Ink Animation

3-D Ink-Wash Animation is originally created by Shanghai Art MovieManufactory, based on the early experiment in60’s of20th century. The uniqueimage style and ink-wash inspiration reflect the flourishing traditional Chineseculture, which created the “glorious age” in the history of Chinese animation. Thistypical animation style with rich ethical characteristic is so-called “ChineseAcademe”. However after90’s of20th century, the production and discovery ofink-wash animation turned into recession, mostly due the complicated art craft, thedeviation of art value and business value, and the impacts from foreign commercialanimation.Along with the rapid development of digital and information technology, theformation of animation arts changed dramatically, and the technique innovation ofink-wash animation shows up gradually as well. Based on the combination oftechniques and arts, incorporated with the practical research experiences, thisdissertation brings the topic of application of digital technology in3-D ink-washanimation. Discussed the difficulties and corresponding solutions in the3-Dmanufacture processes of ink-wash animation, such as digital simulation,computational coloring, camera motions, and digital special effects composition. Theapplication of3-D technology largely expands the expression of ink-wash animation,enriches the interaction ability, and improves the effectiveness and efficiency ofproduction. Meanwhile,3-D technology also creates new joint points betweenink-wash animation, TV advertisement, computer games, and new media display.In the current technology world, the combination of traditional culture andmodern techniques should be incorporated with arts and ethnic feature. So thatmaking high-level local animation would be one of the most important ways toachieve the great renaissance of Chinese animation industry.
