As 3D animation has come into its own over the last 20 years the main potential is one of the reasons I am so passionate about it, the potential to create fascinating worlds to get lost in, and special effects to be in awe to! and how fast this method is developing. lets go back in time to where 3D animation was getting introduced into film.
Looker
Looker was the first film to include a CGI character, all the way back in 1981, it used computer shaders to create sci-fi looking effects
Jurassic Park
Jumping to 1993, 12 years later, Jurassic park created 3D animated and modelled Dinosaurs, this was a big jump in 12 years, and already the quality of the CGI has come on leaps and bounds.
Toy Story
Just 2 years on in 1995 was the release of Toy Story, the first 3D animated feature length film, which is the foothold in the animation industry, the technology curve just sky rockets from here!
The animation style seems to step back a bit to look less realistic, I presume the reason for this is due to the fact it was a whole feature length film rather than just elements within the film, and as previously posted, it would have taken a lot longer to render.
And then in the 2010's we have films such as avatar and Beowulf which are CGI but also appear very Photo-realistic, which is the type of animation I want to pursuit.
