As for theory, 3D animation is different to that of traditional animation. It is a process of producing moving pictures in a three dimensional environment with the help of computer and software applications. The key role is performed by a 3D animator, who with the help of 3D software applications creates careful chiseling of 3d objects (also termed as models) giving an illusion of movement or an animation.
3D animation has become a heart of video games, virtual reality and film production industry. Inevitable to say that these industries related to entertainment and production are always looking for talented and inspiring candidates who can work along with them, and can bring value to their business. But on the other hand, as compare to the vacancies in 3D animation jobs offered by these industries to that of the number of people pursuing studies for 3D animation is a lot less. As a matter of fact, there are more people pursuing to become 3D animators than the industry offering the positions.
