Im still having some trouble with my topic. Since my earlier post was a bit broad I've decided to focus on computer animation and look into it's history and origins. However, I am concerned that I may still be too broad. Would I need to focus even more?
ReplyDeleteYou could follow the thread of comparing simulation with abstraction/fantasy. In virtual worlds, for example, there are tradeoffs between realism (simulation) and things like playability or usability. In simulation the focus is on patterning the real world. The main theme of abstraction or fantasy is to provide an otherworldly experience. What 3d animation also does is offer the opportunity to blend the two in interesting hybrids of hyperrealistic fantasies.
