Main Article Content

Abstract

            Animation creation refers to conveying the imagination of the director to the audience. There are many compositions in emotional media such as good chapters and stories with an effect on the storytelling. Moreover, various steps are included for animation or animation creation. Animation creators will study and practice various skills from modeling up, in which the creators have to design both characters and scenes. In terms of character characteristics, both facial and eye expressions will help convey emotions in order to promptly match the script or the story. Furthermore, the creators will study the habitual character of the characters, motion, and lighting for characters and scenes to create animation perfectly


            The author studied the character design in Thailand, such as the animations, of the giant story, that brought the Ramayana story to be a robot. However, there are differences of characters in the matter of the main character size. In foreign countries, there is an animation about Wall.E that conveys the love between two robots that were different from each other by using geometry shapes to direct and clearly design different and interesting designs. The author wanted to be a part of bringing simple geometry shapes to convey for use in interesting animation works, as well as the role of applying geometry to create requirements for 3D character design for animation character patterns, gestures, emotions, habits, age, and character analysis that is consistent or conflicting, including the explanation of various steps in the work to come out as a complete 3D animation work.
