Software:3D Movie

From HandWiki

A 3D Movie is a computer file for a digital movie that uses Microsoft 3D Movie Maker or any of its expansions such as Doraemon 3DMM, Nickelodeon 3DMM, and v3DMM. 3D Movies can only be viewed in these products, and the creation of AVI or MPEG files from the 3D Movie file requires third-party software.[1] The two common file formats used by 3D Movies are .3mm and .vmm. .nmm was a third file format once used by 3D Movies, but since the release of the "Nickelodeon 3DMM" add-on to 3D Movie Maker, which combined both editions in one program, this has been deprecated by the ".3mm" file format.[2]

3D movie software is needed for motion pictures with depth, specifically two distinct images put together.[3] It originated from the 1920-1930's and went through times of people neglecting it, as it was first shot in a lower quality. It is also known as a stereoscopic to reiterate, a motion-picture narrative that ends up in three-dimensional standard with the use of film images.[4]

History

Over $2.7bn in American Box Office Upon Release
Avatar, 2009 (film): Surpassing $2.7 billion, "highest grossing film of all time".[4]

Introduced in the 1920s to the 1930s, 3D was technically poor. There were various problems with its color in film. This was problem solved by the Natural Vision way, which consists of utilizing a polarized lens, which in turn made it feasible to display the "convergence principle of the human eye in the filming".[5] The origin of 3D accommodated with Natural Vision, was shown by Bwana Devil. 3D decreased in its fame in Europe, as a society did not necessarily acquire a novelty of depth. But by the 1970s, a subtle fluctuation occurred.[5] The first public display of 3D film started in 1915, "when Edwin S Porter and William E Waddell showed an audience at New York City's Astor theatre".[1] Till 1950, 3D film did not have much fame. Because of good marketing, 3D film and technology were able to see the light. Phrases such as, "A lion is your lap! A lover in your arms!" sparked interest by the audience – this particular film made $2.5 million at its 1952 release at the American box office.[2] IMAX 3D was introduced in 1985, which showed transitions and immense computer animation by Roman Croitor, Colin Low, and Tony Ianzelo in We Are Born of Stars.[3] Cameras started to become made just for the purpose of 3D film. Robert Zemeckis' The Polar Express, reached above and beyond $300 million at the American box office, following that, Avatar by Cameron reached more than $2.7 billion, passing his own record for the "highest grossing film of all time", replacing Titanic. These movies were the rise of 3D and 2D film successes to further arrive.[4]

Geomagic, often used in industries, is part of the product design suite. Things like 3D modeling as well as product manufacturing.[6] can result from this.

General Features of Sufficient 3D Software

Proficient 3D modeling services include a formation of a 3D image, with adequate arrangement. Further, the model should be able to be printed with set parameters. In the beginning of usage, or any part of the process in editing, users should be able to follow a demonstration of how the object they will create will work.[7]

Example of CV Joint animation

In particular a firm component library is necessary, as it can add to speed and accuracy in a project, since it consists of sub-libraries of tools users need to create models. Next, a strong animation function set can help design and test things like keyframes easily. In settings where collaborations are a must, good software should have features that allow users to catch-up and work together remotely. This especially helps employees from other fields such as, architecture and engineering to add their insights on a company project.[8]

More Notable 3D Films

  • Gravity (2013) – Included 3D space graphics, "floating oxygen cords and rocketing debris".[9] It earned on Oscar, and was a 3D Blockbuster.[9]
  • How To Train Your Dragon (2010) – Included 3D motion with fictional Pixar characters, in specific the dragon's "aerial swooping and glidding".[9]
  • Toy Story 3 (2010) – Included perspective of "toys that live" in the human society, and 3D motion of them.[9]
