The process of creating a 3D animation is much more complex than what most people think. The number of steps to produce a 3D animated video can vary to a great extent, depending on the animation studio involved and the scale of the project itself.
But generally, a lengthy list of tasks must be checked and a large group of people with different skill-sets must be engaged for a 3D animated video or feature film to be produced. In order to push such a complicated process forward efficiently and affordably, a solid structure and a detailed framework is needed: 3D animation pipeline.
