Top 5 Trends Making Waves in the Animation Landscape

The animation industry, as we know today, is completely different from what it used to be a few decades back. Earlier, the industry was seen as a platform meant for the entertainment of children, telling funny stories, and doing small projects. However, over the years, with the advancements in technology, the industry has undergone a rapid change. Today animation is increasingly being used for education, advertisement, entertainment, analytical studies, marketing, gaming, medical studies, creative art, architecture, engineering, and others. Several industries are using animation for various projects across the globe. With the increase in the demand for professionals from this industry, it has become quite expensive to hire a full-time animator. For a cost-effective solution, you can now outsource multimedia and animation services to India and several other countries where you get the opportunity to get your projects done by experienced people in this field.

If you are interested in trying your luck in the animation sector, following are the trends that have been making waves and that you should know:

1. Virtual Reality
   
   

Animation is no more restricted to your television or your computer screen. Digital imagery is now spilling into the physical world on virtual and augmented reality headsets, mobile devices, holograms, immersive smart spaces, giant flat panels, and the list goes on. Viewers can now experience optimum visualization, which will be similar to reality. The technology used in animation is used across various platforms and viewers can have a real experience of various things without actually experiencing them first hand.

2. Hyper Surrealism
   
   

One of the most popular trends in animation that has been witnessed in the last few years is the usage of CGI imagery for showing hyper surrealism. In this, animators use a combination of photo realistic elements and a beautiful imagery and further create a world that seems dreamlike. The technology has been used for making several advertisements such as the ones for cars wherein a vehicle can be seen taking a whimsical journey in outlandish locations. You can now easily hire an animator for projects like these.

3. 2D and 3D for Gaming
   
   

The gaming industry has always been using animation extensively for creating characters and other elements for a game. The newest trends have made the whole experience of gaming absolutely fantastic as gamers can now play with 3D characters, which look absolutely real. They can now choose avatars of their choices, and the whole activity of gaming has now undergone lighting, rigging, texturing, and polishing. People today are spending money to purchase clothes, vehicles etc. for their game characters because of the quality of the expressive illustrations used for making them.

4. High-Concept Projects
   
   

What used to be just a medium for creating cartoons for children is no more restricted to limited areas. Now, high-concept projects related to any industry such as architecture, medicine, and others are being used for presentations, proposals, and planning in order to get a better understanding of the tasks at hand. With the use of animation and graphics, various projects that seemed impossible earlier on paper seemed to have become possible for people and the risks too have been cut down, leaving little room for error.

5. Usage in Apps
   
   

The latest trend in animation has made its way to application development. It is clear that animation has a greater impact on people's mind than images and pictures. Due to this, application developers are hiring more and more animators in India, who are highly trained and experienced to complete such projects. Animators are using functional animation to make user experience more interactive, vibrant, and attractive. Post the usage of animation, customer feedback has become positive and is being used increasingly now in every other application.

Earlier, the usage of animation was restricted to a few platforms and industries. However, people are now using advanced technologies to take it to a whole new level, giving users an opportunity to have a different experience altogether, which was not possible before.

Those who feel more inclined to outsource multimedia and animation services too are perhaps encouraged by the above trends.
