Each removing should be a bit ahead or behind. When flipped swiftly, the series of drawings makes the character or object move.
The working of 2D Animation is not so different. But the detailing of the subject or the object cannot be minimal as a flipbook. 2D Animation demands more characters and more details while at the same time requiring smooth, visually appealing, and accurate detailing, which is a lot of pressure for the makers. Thanks to 2D making software, a week’s work can be taken care of in minutes or two.

The working mechanism of 3D Animation is more complicated than 2D. It is a layered process that requires several skills. It also involves “rigged” and animated 3D models. In 3D, the initial sketch of the entire subject and object is the first step towards the animation procedure. The second step is to make a 3D model of the intended animated object. It was third, texturing of the 3D animated object. Rigging is the final step; it gives the 3D model the power and ability to move. Once rigging is done, the character is already for posing.

03 [How to Draw 2d & 3d Characters for Video Games?](#Part 3)
Part 1 What is 2D & 3D Animation Game?
Gaming animation is a blend of art and technology. It is one of those fields that require several technical skills. These are brilliant programming skills, understanding the basics of computer science, and practical technology know-how, collectively standing as the basic fundamental of Animation. Both 2D and 3D Animation changed the gaming experience forever and created an array of opportunities. But they differ in working and application.
01Working on 2D Animation
Flipbook can be a good example of the mechanism behind 2D Animation. After drawing a character or an object on the first page of a notebook, continue drawing for the next page and so on. Each removing should be a bit ahead or behind. When flipped swiftly, the series of drawings makes the character or object move.
The working of 2D Animation is not so different. But the detailing of the subject or the object cannot be minimal as a flipbook. 2D Animation demands more characters and more details while at the same time requiring smooth, visually appealing, and accurate detailing, which is a lot of pressure for the makers. Thanks to 2D making software, a week’s work can be taken care of in minutes or two.
02Working on 3D Animation
The working mechanism of 3D Animation is more complicated than 2D. It is a layered process that requires several skills. It also involves “rigged” and animated 3D models. In 3D, the initial sketch of the entire subject and object is the first step towards the animation procedure. The second step is to make a 3D model of the intended animated object. It was third, texturing of the 3D animated object. Rigging is the final step; it gives the 3D model the power and ability to move. Once rigging is done, the character is already for posing. Drop it to the scene and start your Animation.

How To Make Pinterest Slideshow in Simple Ways
How to Make Pinterest Slideshow in Simple Ways
An easy yet powerful editor
Numerous effects to choose from
Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
Slideshows are a collection of images arranged together that an audience can quickly swipe through to view the content. Pinterest is known for its one-pin to one post feature. You cannot post more than one image or video in a pin.
Thus, business people could start sharing all of the images or products, services, or articles mostly because it can be stressful to do that. But with the Pinterest slideshow, you can now upload all the images you want to at once in one pin. Moreso, even have people view the pins simultaneously just by swiping through.

02 [How to upload multiple photos to Pinterest?](#Part 2)
03 [How to display Pinterest’s latest pins in a slideshow? ](#Part 3)
Part 1 How to Display Pinterest Latest Pins in A Slideshow
Using Pinterest’s latest pins in a slideshow is another way to display the latest pins from any Pinterest user or blogger’s blog. Each image is linked to its pin page on Pinterest instead of the board or profile page if you use the Pinterest profile or board widget.
To install this widget, you need the user or board’s RSS feed URL, then use it as the input for a blogger slide show gadget.
Here are the tricky steps to follow for the Pinterest slide show;
Step 1: Constructing Pinterest RSS feed URL
The Pinterest RSS feed URL of a user is different from aboard.
● It would be the user’s profile URL + feed/RSS for a user. To get your Profile URL, click on your username in the top right corner of your screen, and you will see a URL in your web browser’s URL. That is your profile URL.
● For the board URL, you will get that after clicking on the board from the homepage. The URL would appear on your browser’s URL bar.
Step 2: Reformatting the feed for the slideshow gadget:
The RSS feed from step one is not very compatible with the blogger slideshow gadget. It accepts RSS feed in Media RSS format, but you can convert with Yahoo pipe. Simply plug in your feed URL in the Yahoo pipe URL.
You have to replace the value of the feed URL with the feed URL you got in step one and the pin count with the number of pins displayed on the slide show.
With this, you have successfully converted your feed URL to the media version of the Pinterest feed.
Step 3: Add the slideshow widget
Take the following step to add the slideshow widget.
Go to Dashboard > Layout and click on ‘Add A Gadget.’
Now Add, A Gadget window, scroll down and select Slideshow.
Under Source, select Other.
Put in the converted Pinterest RSS feed URL from step 2 into the Feed URL text box.
Click Save and view your blog.
Part 2 How to Upload Multiple Photos to Pinterest
If you want to display multiple photos of your product or share your brand story with pictures, then this is a feature you will grab. Pinterest allows you to display various products at a time. But first, you must also have a business account to do this.
When you upload multiple photos on Pinterest, they are known as carousel pins. This feature is a great advertising tool and will help you during the Pinterest slideshow.
This is because people would see your carousel on their home feed just like any other pin you have posted. They may also tap on the carousel and swipe through the different photos on the carousel. When the pinner saves it, they have kept the entire image.
Here is a step-by-step method to upload multiple photos to Pinterest.
Step 1: Log into your Pinterest
First, log into your Pinterest business account to access the feature. If you do not have a business account, it is elementary to do so. There is no need for you to enter any billing information if you are wondering about that. It is a straightforward process. Just open your account, click on the drop-down menu near your profile picture, see ‘convert to business,’ then upgrade your account, and you are good to go.
You should also ensure that the photos you want to upload are on your computer. If you have originally planned to use it to explain an article visually, then make sure the particular image that represents that article is correctly saved on your computer. The images should be 1:1 or 2:3 in ratio, and the format either ‘png’ or ‘jpeg.’
Add your pictures and upload. If you want to reorder your pin, you can replace or remove images within the carousel.
Step 2: Add Title
Add a title, description, and website of the carousel pin. Your title will be a snippet of what the blog post or article will be about or the recipe’s title. Your description should be the same as your Pinterest text, and you can also choose to let it appear only on your first image on your carousel pin.
Step 3: Select a Board
The last step is to select a board relevant to your carousel pin. Thus, you have your carousel pin and images. However, you cannot view this immediately as in a standard pin or video pin. But you can go back to your board to view your pin when it is ready.

Here is a step-by-step method to upload multiple photos to Pinterest.
Step 1: Log into your Pinterest
First, log into your Pinterest business account to access the feature. If you do not have a business account, it is elementary to do so. There is no need for you to enter any billing information if you are wondering about that. It is a straightforward process. Just open your account, click on the drop-down menu near your profile picture, see ‘convert to business,’ then upgrade your account, and you are good to go.
You should also ensure that the photos you want to upload are on your computer. If you have originally planned to use it to explain an article visually, then make sure the particular image that represents that article is correctly saved on your computer. The images should be 1:1 or 2:3 in ratio, and the format either ‘png’ or ‘jpeg.’
Add your pictures and upload. If you want to reorder your pin, you can replace or remove images within the carousel.
Step 2: Add Title
Add a title, description, and website of the carousel pin. Your title will be a snippet of what the blog post or article will be about or the recipe’s title. Your description should be the same as your Pinterest text, and you can also choose to let it appear only on your first image on your carousel pin.
Step 3: Select a Board
The last step is to select a board relevant to your carousel pin. Thus, you have your carousel pin and images. However, you cannot view this immediately as in a standard pin or video pin. But you can go back to your board to view your pin when it is ready.

Slideshows are a collection of images arranged together that an audience can quickly swipe through to view the content. Pinterest is known for its one-pin to one post feature. You cannot post more than one image or video in a pin.
Thus, business people could start sharing all of the images or products, services, or articles mostly because it can be stressful to do that. But with the Pinterest slideshow, you can now upload all the images you want to at once in one pin. Moreso, even have people view the pins simultaneously just by swiping through.

03 [How to display Pinterest’s latest pins in a slideshow? ](#Part 3)
Part 1 How to Display Pinterest Latest Pins in A Slideshow
Using Pinterest’s latest pins in a slideshow is another way to display the latest pins from any Pinterest user or blogger’s blog. Each image is linked to its pin page on Pinterest instead of the board or profile page if you use the Pinterest profile or board widget.
To install this widget, you need the user or board’s RSS feed URL, then use it as the input for a blogger slide show gadget.
Here are the tricky steps to follow for the Pinterest slide show;
Step 1: Constructing Pinterest RSS feed URL
The Pinterest RSS feed URL of a user is different from aboard.
● It would be the user’s profile URL + feed/RSS for a user. To get your Profile URL, click on your username in the top right corner of your screen, and you will see a URL in your web browser’s URL. That is your profile URL.
● For the board URL, you will get that after clicking on the board from the homepage. The URL would appear on your browser’s URL bar.
Step 2: Reformatting the feed for the slideshow gadget:
The RSS feed from step one is not very compatible with the blogger slideshow gadget. It accepts RSS feed in Media RSS format, but you can convert with Yahoo pipe. Simply plug in your feed URL in the Yahoo pipe URL.
You have to replace the value of the feed URL with the feed URL you got in step one and the pin count with the number of pins displayed on the slide show.
With this, you have successfully converted your feed URL to the media version of the Pinterest feed.
Step 3: Add the slideshow widget
Take the following step to add the slideshow widget.
Go to Dashboard > Layout and click on ‘Add A Gadget.’
Now Add, A Gadget window, scroll down and select Slideshow.
Under Source, select Other.
Put in the converted Pinterest RSS feed URL from step 2 into the Feed URL text box.
Click Save and view your blog.
Part 2 How to Upload Multiple Photos to Pinterest
If you want to display multiple photos of your product or share your brand story with pictures, then this is a feature you will grab. Pinterest allows you to display various products at a time. But first, you must also have a business account to do this.

Before you delve into the profession of creating 3d cartoon filters, you need to understand or decide if creating animated characters is something you would like to do. It’s not going to be smooth as you will get frustrated at some point, you will get confused, and it will be challenging, but in the end, it is rewarding because it is an expression of your mind coming to life. You are the one to breathe life into your characters who represent your imaginations. You will also have to infuse a great deal of your creativity to create beautiful and exciting characters for others to enjoy. Meanwhile, let’s first understand what 3d animations mean.
Becoming a 3d animator is not a feat you can achieve in a short time. It is not days, weeks, months, or even years. Like any other profession, a professional 3d animator must have put in a great deal of work, mixed with a lot of passion and love for what he is doing. To become successful as a 3d animator, you must love what you are doing or be ready to put in the work.
This article will expose what you should learn to create beautiful 3d animation cartoons, including what to expect as a 3d animator.
In this article
01 [What are 3d animation and the process of 3d animation?](#Part 1)
02 [Differences between 2d animation and 3d animation](#Part 2)
03 [A roaster of 8 best 3d animation software.](#Part 3)
04 [Top 3 3d animation making mistakes to avoid](#Part 4)
Part 1 What Is 3D Animation And The Process of 3D Animation?
animation is a term that describes the art of creating 3-dimensional images and placing them in a digital environment. It is a process that uses motion to bring objects, characters, etc., to life.
It is also known as computer-generated imagery, and it is currently the most common animation type for feature films.
Various software and programs are designed specifically for 3d animations and allow the animators to bring the objects to life.
The process of 3d animation happens in three(3) stages;
● Modeling
● Layout and animation
● Rendering
Modeling in 3d animation involves generating the objects or characters either by using a modeling tool or using a real thing. The real object is scanned directly into the computer, where other processes follow. You have total control over your character and how you want them to appear by modeling. You decide the weight, specifications, feel, etc. However, scanning objects save a lot of time. You must add texture before modeling your character or reviewing it before moving to the following layout and animation.
Layout and animation stage: A layout is determined when the generated objects move to this stage. It involves creating a set/scene where the objects can position. Layout first happens before animation does. After adding the objects and characters, they get animated using animation variables. After this, you use motion capture or keyframing to give life to the models in the scenes.
Rendering: Rendering is using software or programs. It is not something to do using just your computer. These tools can generate the scenes into the finished image according to the client’s requirements or set goals.
Creating cartoon background images or any other form of animations is a process that requires a lot of planning and work, which sums up a lot of time. To learn 3d animation, you must be ready to give in ample time as it is a profession that requires some time to handle.
The process listed above also shows the creativity requirement required to succeed in the 3d animation industry. To think that you must create the scenes, which is the layout stage, means you have to be creative in your imagination. If you then decide to model your character from scratch using modeling tools. That also requires another job of thinking and extracting a lot of your creative juices.
Part 2 What is the difference between 2d animation and 3d animation?
Anyone can decide to learn animation with no plan in mind or understanding of what the profession involves. animation is different from 2d animation, and if you want to learn animation, you need to understand the distinction between these two.
animation can have a lot of creative possibilities, whereas 3d animation has a lot of natural abilities. The visual style of both types of animation is explicitly different.
3d animation is a more intensive technical process than the various stages mentioned earlier. It would most likely involve different specialists to handle them to get a more professional output. However, 2d animation consists of drawing the characters frame by frame.
animated cartoons are in The Simpsons, Pinocchio, the Lion king, etc.
animations are like the ones Dreamworks, Pixar, produce. They include the avengers, the bad guys, etc.

Forgetting the why: In a animation cartoon, every move, walking step, and smile is essential. Every character represented in your cartoon background is there for a specific reason.
You would be making a mistake that will affect the result if you lose focus on this reason. Your viewers won’t find your cartoon believable if the moves and acting don’t add up.
Your characters don’t just move because they want to move. Something must have spurred the motion or reaction. It could be for what happened to them, what they heard, or saw another character did in the scene. Do not neglect the why of the act.
While animating, focus on why and keep revisiting until all your characters and objects are knitted closely together.
Over-animating a scene: This is another mistake animators should avoid. If you animate your characters, everything may be a mess if you animate the background and foreground. Simplicity is how to get this thing, keep it simple and focused.
Do not have much going on in each scene but only where you need the attention of your viewers. Animators that do this end up confusing their viewers with no direction.
You can use camera effects such as depth of field to make your audience focus on the point you are trying to make in the particular scene.
Not giving your viewers time to take it in: This is another 3d animation making a mistake you should be careful of. Not giving your viewers time to process the happenings on the scene before the next.
This can be avoided by timing and measuring cuts such that any animation at the start of a new scene is timed to enable the viewers to take it in. You can ask for third-party criticism on your work to find out how your animation is received and see pointers to mistakes such as this. The third party could be your colleague or friend.
Note: You can easily avoid any error or mistake or modify your 3D animation with the help of the Wondershare Filmora video editor. That will provide a solid base for featuring 3D animation.
● Ending Thoughts →
● 3D animation refers to using motion to breathe life into inanimate objects, and they can create animated videos and animation cartoons.
● 3D animation is highly technical, unlike 2d animation
● You can avoid the above 3d mistakes if you remain objective and open, and ready to accept constructive criticism.
● Becoming an animator is a fun thing to do, and it allows you to be free to express your creativity while entertaining other people entirely.
● Before you start learning 3d animation and create cartoon photos, ensure that you have read through all that we have explained here to have good information about what you are going into.
Before you delve into the profession of creating 3d cartoon filters, you need to understand or decide if creating animated characters is something you would like to do. It’s not going to be smooth as you will get frustrated at some point, you will get confused, and it will be challenging, but in the end, it is rewarding because it is an expression of your mind coming to life. You are the one to breathe life into your characters who represent your imaginations. You will also have to infuse a great deal of your creativity to create beautiful and exciting characters for others to enjoy. Meanwhile, let’s first understand what 3d animations mean.
Becoming a 3d animator is not a feat you can achieve in a short time. It is not days, weeks, months, or even years. Like any other profession, a professional 3d animator must have put in a great deal of work, mixed with a lot of passion and love for what he is doing. To become successful as a 3d animator, you must love what you are doing or be ready to put in the work.
This article will expose what you should learn to create beautiful 3d animation cartoons, including what to expect as a 3d animator.

Part 1 What Is 3D Animation And The Process of 3D Animation?
animation is a term that describes the art of creating 3-dimensional images and placing them in a digital environment. It is a process that uses motion to bring objects, characters, etc., to life.
It is also known as computer-generated imagery, and it is currently the most common animation type for feature films.
Various software and programs are designed specifically for 3d animations and allow the animators to bring the objects to life.
The process of 3d animation happens in three(3) stages;
● Modeling
● Layout and animation
● Rendering
Modeling in 3d animation involves generating the objects or characters either by using a modeling tool or using a real thing. The real object is scanned directly into the computer, where other processes follow. You have total control over your character and how you want them to appear by modeling. You decide the weight, specifications, feel, etc. However, scanning objects save a lot of time. You must add texture before modeling your character or reviewing it before moving to the following layout and animation.
Layout and animation stage: A layout is determined when the generated objects move to this stage. It involves creating a set/scene where the objects can position. Layout first happens before animation does. After adding the objects and characters, they get animated using animation variables. After this, you use motion capture or keyframing to give life to the models in the scenes.
Rendering: Rendering is using software or programs. It is not something to do using just your computer. These tools can generate the scenes into the finished image according to the client’s requirements or set goals.
Creating cartoon background images or any other form of animations is a process that requires a lot of planning and work, which sums up a lot of time. To learn 3d animation, you must be ready to give in ample time as it is a profession that requires some time to handle.
The process listed above also shows the creativity requirement required to succeed in the 3d animation industry. To think that you must create the scenes, which is the layout stage, means you have to be creative in your imagination. If you then decide to model your character from scratch using modeling tools. That also requires another job of thinking and extracting a lot of your creative juices.
Part 2 What is the difference between 2d animation and 3d animation?
Anyone can decide to learn animation with no plan in mind or understanding of what the profession involves. animation is different from 2d animation, and if you want to learn animation, you need to understand the distinction between these two.
animation can have a lot of creative possibilities, whereas 3d animation has a lot of natural abilities. The visual style of both types of animation is explicitly different.
3d animation is a more intensive technical process than the various stages mentioned earlier. It would most likely involve different specialists to handle them to get a more professional output. However, 2d animation consists of drawing the characters frame by frame.
animated cartoons are in The Simpsons, Pinocchio, the Lion king, etc.
animations are like the ones Dreamworks, Pixar, produce. They include the avengers, the bad guys, etc.

Part 4 Top Three (3) 3d Animation Making Mistakes To Avoid
As we initially mentioned, 3d animation requires an intensive technical process. It is a skill that you need to hone over the years by paying attention to detail, being highly creative, and daring to succeed.
Here are 3 mistakes you must avoid during the animation process;
