“MONSTERS UNIVERSITY” Progression Image 5 of 6: ANIMATION and SIMULATION
When Layout is complete, the primary and secondary characters are animated into poses by the Animation department. In addition, hundreds of background characters are populated into the scene. These characters are animated by the Crowds department. The Simulation department adds movement to the hair and garments through computer simulation. This allows the hair and garments to move naturally with the characters’ actions. Final character shading is also completed by the Characters department to add textures and colors to the garments and props.
