Abstract
Computer generated animation for the entertainment industry is a rapidly growing area of computer graphics. Three-dimensional, shaded, color raster graphics offers many possibilities for exciting images and fast, flexible animation design. This paper is a step-by-step overview of how such a computer animated piece is produced, with particular attention paid to the tools and intermediate graphics generated in the production process.
