How Animation Works Posted by Justin Cone If you’ve ever been curious, New Zealand-based Cirkus explains in irony-laden detail how the commercial 3D animation process works. It’s so simple, even an idiot could do it! No, but seriously, if you’re a client, please watch this. It’s a 100% accurate portrayal of the process and can help explain why change requests that seem so simple can end up costing you thousands of dollars. Tip o’ the hat to Jamie O’hara.
