WordMagic : Hybrid Deformable 3D Kinetic Typography by Using Maya

Abstract

This work is an animation art work using kinetic typography with shape deformation. We created our art work according to following two constraints. First, we model characters by deforming words. Then we animate them. Second, the models form what these words mean. Our animation art work is represented in mixed 2D and 3D style, which is archieved by 3DCG software Autodesk Maya.
