- What is 3D Animation?
3D animation is the process of placing characters and objects in a 3D space and manipulating them to create the illusion of motion. The objects are made based on 3D models assimilated in a digital environment using 3D modeling tools. Alternatively, real-life objects can be scanned into a computer and become blueprints for animated 3D objects.
The goal of 3D animators is to move objects and characters in a given scene as realistically as possible. You can create the perfect cartoon character, but if its movements are awkward, uneven, or robotic, all your hard work will go down the drain. Hence, animators spend quite some time studying the basic principles of movement to make their animations believable.
Did you notice how fluid and lifelike the 3D characters’ each movement looks in the example above? Even though the story takes place in an animated world, the latter is still consistent with the physics of our world — well, for the most part.
Non-Skippable Ads
The duration of non-skippable video ads varies between 15 to 20 seconds, and the users must watch the ad in its entirety. The ad video should be uploaded to the channel, and the same resolution and file size limits as in the case of skippable ads apply.

Mid-Roll Ads
In contrast with the skippable and non-skippable ads, mid-roll ads can run only in the middle of the video. Since July 2020, YouTube automatically adds mid-roll ads to all the videos that are 8 minutes or longer. While these ads are skippable, the viewers must watch at least 30 seconds before they can do it. Therefore, the minimum allowed duration of a mid-roll ad video is 30 seconds, with a maximum duration of 1 minute. The recommended resolutions for the mid-roll ads are the same as in the case of a standard YouTube video.
From our favorite Disney movies to our favorite video games, we’ve made 3D animation an inseparable part of our lives. Technology improves, and our graphics get livelier, sharper, cooler.
The entertainment industry is not the only consumer of 3D animation. The latter is widely used in education, medicine, architecture, and of course, advertising. From all the various animation styles, 3D is by far the most demanded, especially among younger generations.
It’s easy to see why people love 3D animations: they’re super exciting, inviting, and a great communicator. It’s no surprise so many businesses rely on them for brand storytelling, building a friendly image, and attracting more customers.
Today, we’re going to uncover 3D animation, how it’s created, some tips and tricks, what 3D animation software to use, and how to make your animation online even if you’re not a pro animator. Ready? Let’s get started!
