===3-D world has recently been dominant in the media and the cinema halls.The public have come to discover this world with a fantastic admiration. It is really 3 dimensional footage full of high-resolution and every corner in the picture or the video is in similar distance as in the real world. This technologie has given a new evolution in the media and cinema. === In this glimpse I will shed light on the fundamental procedures applied on the ground of 3-D industry. All the target operations are handled and manipulated in a specific software in which modelling, rigging, animating and rendering are carried out to design a tricky and fake world of 3-D.

www.google.ca/images (also called stereoscopic or 3-D imaging) is any technique capable of recreating three-visual information or the [|illusion of depth] in an image. The basic requirement is to recreate offset images that are presented separately to t he left and right eye. Both of these 2-D offset images are then combined in the brain to givethe perceptionof 3-Ddepth. Three strategies have been used to accomplish this: have the viewer wear eyeglasses to combine separate images from two offset sources, have the viewer wear eyeglasses to filter offset images from a single source separated to each eye, or have the light source split the images directionally into the viewer's eyes (no glasses required). <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

__<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; vertical-align: super;">History of 3-D __
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">3-D technology had started 100 years ago and it was invention of William Friese-Greene. He was a peeoneer in 3-D film making process. Then he got first in the world patent in 3-D field.In 1922 on the screens of the world was demonstrated first movie in 3-D,but after this movie 3-D technology was remain dormant for over decades.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">First 3-D movies and first popularity in the world. In earlies 1950 ﻿3-D technology came back and it was extremely popular. By <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> this time in U.S.A. had prodused first movie named "Bwana Devil", and this movie was showed across U.S.A. Even though 3-D technology was very popular, Alfred Hitchcock had prefered to use 2-D, because he wanted to maximize profits. Cause of his decision was that not every theatre in U.S.A. had required equipment for showing 3-D. Not only in Europe,and U.S.A. but also in Soviet Union was demonstrated First 3-D movie which named "Robinson Crusoe".

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">1960-1970 technology progtess in 3-D industry.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">In the 1960s a new technology called Space-Vision 3D was released. This technology took two images and printed them over each other on a single strip. For this technology required only one camera unlike an old process with using two cameras. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">In 1970 was developed stereovision by Chris Condon. This 3-D technology process was new in this period, and it was used two squeezed images side by side. The first movie which was realized buy this technology was the American comedy "Stewardesses'', and this movie was successfull at the American box office. According to the box office,"Stewardesses" earned 27 millions with 100.000 dollars on production.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">1980-1990 Formation of IMAX on 3-D field.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">In 1980 IMAX started producing movies in 3-D.These movie were about nature and they were very popular.IMAx's 3D technology emphasized mathmatical correctness and this eliminated the eye fatigue that was seen in previous 3D technologies.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">During the 1990s, many films were released in IMAX 3D. The most succesful IMAX 3D film released during this time was "Into the Deep". The first IMAX 3D fiction film, "Wings of Courage" was released in 1996.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">2000-2010 establishing of IMAX as a front-rank 3-D moviemaker and involving 3-D in TV programs. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">By this period IMAX had created latest technology that used the latest HD video cameras. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">This technology was used in Movies, such as, "Sharkboy and Lavagirl", "Polar Express" ,"Avatar", and "Spy Kids 3-D Game over". These movies were so popular that it gave push to develop and create new 3-D technology today.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> last year in Korea had started broadcast of first channel in 3-D format. This channel shows to viewers news,tv-shows,educational programs 7/24 and it is all in 3-D. Amazing isn't it? In this purpose, people buy 3-D TVs that gives an opportunity to watch programs in 3D.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">For all of had written here, you can see that 3-D technology have great future and maybe in nearest future people will have 3-D TVs at their houses. ****<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #ff0000; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; padding-right: 10px;"> www.google.ca/images **** __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; vertical-align: super;">3D Modeling __

===**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Modeling is the p ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">rocess of taking a shape and molding it into a completed 3D mesh. The most typical of creating ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">a 3D model is ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">to take ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">a ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">simple object, called a ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">primitive, **=== ===**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">and extend or "grow" it into a shape t ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">hat can be refined and detailed. Primitives can be anything from a single point (called a vertex), a two-dimensional line (an edge), a curve (a spline), to **===

**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">three dimensional objects ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">(faces or polygons). **
===**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Using the specific features of a certain chosen 3D software can help ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">to model an object. The modeling process encompasses an indefinite steps in designing and creating different aspects of 3-D objects. **=== ===**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Nurbs, polygons, and subdivision surfaces all take place in building the world of 3-D. Each geometry type possesses a variety of ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">functions that assist in shaping a 3-d form and manipulating a unique construction based on various designs. **<span style="background-position: 100% 50%; color: #ff0000; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; padding-right: 10px;">www.google.ca/images ===

__<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Curves and Surfaces __
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Nurbs is a multifunctional technique with a powerful control of uses which deal with modeling sharp-edged objects, rounded shapes and curved surfaces. It is divided into 2 categories: curves and surfaces. Surfaces are broad areas of geometry; whereas curves are curved lines which can be transformed into shapes by adding points along the curves. __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Polygons __ <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Polygon modeling is the most common way to create a complicated objects using 3 or 4 sides. The begins with a primitive poly object like cube or cylinder and shapes it by manipulating its components to build more complicated a 3-D object. These components can be a face, edge, and vertex and all these manipulations handle the designed objects in terms of selecting, creating, extruding, bridging, mirroring, splitting, merging, cutting faces, inserting edges and smoothing. __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Subdivision Surfaces __ <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Itcombines the utility of poly modeling with the smooth surfaces of Nurbs objects. This process is important because it gives a smoothness to the 3-D object designing. It provides different levels of detail, crease edges, and various levels of refinement.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; text-align: left; vertical-align: sub;"> __<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; text-align: left; vertical-align: sub;">Rigging and Animation __  __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Regging __ <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Rigging is a technique used to animate the characters or part of the characters modeled in the 3-D. It is constructed from joints, curves and the model and controlled by constrains, connections and parenting. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">It contains character rigging spine and leg. The former manipulates character skeletons consisting of hundreds bones and using a spine rig that animates all the bones at once. The latter is to have control over the placement of the knee and then to be able animate the rest of the body without disturbing the feet. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">It is worth noticing that parenting and binding the skeleton is very helpful in moving and rotating the joint.

__<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 29px;">Animation __ media type="youtube" key="NTJJtx2-CG4" height="390" width="480" align="right"

=
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;">Animation is a process of animating the objects and characters created in the 3-D. Keyframes are used in the timeline to set the animators at a certain points. Thus, to be able to animate objects in 3-D we need: ====== <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Time-slider <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Current time indicator <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Current time field <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Start time / End time fields <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Range slider <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; vertical-align: sub;"> Animation preferences button

__<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; line-height: 29px; vertical-align: super;">﻿ __  __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 300%; line-height: 29px; vertical-align: super;">Conclusion __ **__<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 29px; vertical-align: super;">﻿ __****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Finally, all of these aspects such as, curves and surfaces, polygons, subdivision surfaces, rigging, and animation play main role in creating of 3-D world. By using MAYA programm you can easily manipulate objects, build curves and surfaces, and you can also create a person and animate it by adding joints into legs, arms, and ect. From well dynamic grow and incredible purchases we see that it goes to be lead at the entertaintment fields for many decades. Because what we see in 3-D just a beggining of amazing technology. Who will exactly know what we should expect from 3-D technology in future. Maybe in 2020 everyone will have a TV with 3-D technology in own house. **
