Top Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of animation services are on HostJane?
Across most entertainment mediums, animation has become more omnipresent than ever before and, with constant developments in technology, freelance animators who understand the fundamentals of 3D animation and visual effects with a working knowledge of the industry-standard Maya software will be in high demand for creating 3D graphics.

From Pixar's Up to Shrek and Ice Age blockbusters using 3D animation at studios such as Warner Brothers, Universal, Disney and Dreamworks; learning the technical know-how and aesthetic possibilities of creating 3D graphics, motion graphics, and visual effects, starts with the acquired skill set that HostJane animators can provide for various mediums across film, television, game design, architecture, interactive, educational, scientific, and other communications and commercial industries.
Despite Animators having differing backgrounds in studio art or computer graphics, the art of visual storytelling has some common core skills. You'll find many animators started with Maya from Autodesk - the standard software for creating 3D graphics; a sound background with hands-on experience working in computer graphics programs such as Adobe After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop are prerequisite especially for 2D animation.

To add nuanced textures to 2D/3D characters and props, knowledge of Autodesks tools, like Mudbox (used for sculpting), and to better model, texture, and paint Pixologic’s ZBrush (similar to shaping digital clay) is needed. To combine multiple images to create a final image, the Foundry’s Nuke software for compositing is often used by animators. A reliable standard that can be checked on HostJane listings and other freelance websites is does the freelance animator you are thinking of hiring understand the Maya Embedded Language, also known as MELscript? Because this is the scripting language intended to streamline tasks in Maya. If you are doing extensive work, an animator technically should understand Python, a high-level programming language that will be used in Maya and Nuke.
Understanding the principles of 2D animation is essential to understanding how to work in 3D animation, and those 2D animation fundamentals are entwined with learning how to use the most ubiquitous graphic design tools Adobe’s Photoshop and After Effects, two of the most potent 2D animation tools to manipulate images and create wholly new images. Most animators start learning After Effects for post-production to create 2D animation, especially on Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) courses in 3D Animation; the capability to composite visual effects, and alter images to develop digital storytelling skills. However, both Photoshop and After Effects have substantial 3D features to create 3D motion graphics and visual effects.

So Adobe can be thought of as the basis for training and practice to move to more advanced 3D animation tools with Maya for animated movement, timing, weight, and character development (https://www.autodesk.com/products/maya/overview); ZBrush for advanced rendering, visual effects, advanced rigging techniques, compositing in Nuke, and NURBS hard surface modeling. These principles of animation including using Maya to progress from modeling, motion, and rendering exercisesto create beautiful short 3D animated film all ties back to Adobe Photoshop skills for animation and visual effects to craft greater depth.
