It must be comprehensible, natural, and, perhaps most importantly, credible. Being true to the concept you're explaining will help you gain credibility. A bouncing ball should appear to follow the laws of physics.

  • You have the ability to bring any concept to reality. You can slide scales and bend the rules of physics with animation.
  • You can put your ideas into perspective.
  • You have the ability to set the appropriate tone.
  • You can see abstract concepts.

Animators take the objects made by 2D and 3D artists and give them life by animating them. Because game animation is frequently a complex mix of several types of movement, animators create movement libraries that they may utilise for each character.

In order to create a believable and relatable character, the animator should focus on the following skills:

  • Empathy
  • Attention to detail
  • Eye contact
  • Personality traits
  • Voice tone
