The Pixar animation company was originally one third of the computer division of Lucasfilm, the company that produced George Lucas’s legendary\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> films. In 1979 the company that would later be called Pixar was known as The Graphics Group. This small company was behind many of the advancements of 3D animation, creating animation and rendering software that drastically improved the quality of computer animated films. Pixar’s animated movies are so popular that many people have chosen to get tattoos of the fun 3D characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n Traditional tattoos are 2-dimensional, which means that they have two dimensions, height and width. A 2D tattoo design typically looks a bit like a cartoon, with a distinct outline and flat areas of color. To make a tattoo design 3-dimensional, the tattoo artist needs to add a third dimension to the design; depth. Depth can be thought of as perspective, because it is this dimension that tells you how far away an object is, and the distance between it and other objects in the design. The same principles apply to animation. 2D animation is also known as traditional animation and is made using images that were hand-drawn in only two dimensions. 3D animation, also called computer animation, is made using 3D animation software which allows the digital artists to mold a 3-dimensional character and then film it from any angle.<\/p>\nPixar takes Tattoos 3-Dimensional<\/h1>\n
