Google’s open-source 3D modeling tool Monster Mash can easily create 3D animations

Stereoscopic animation is a time-consuming and technical media form. The completion of an animation scene usually requires multiple steps such as modeling, binding skeletons, and animation settings.

This kind of animation, commonly known as 3D animation, is also a difficult technical task. For beginners, it may take years to master modeling skills.

Google researchers said that due to the complexity of this kind of animation, even the technology and tools have been developed for many years but usually only professional teams can use it.

This is why most of the 3D animations we see at present are created by professional teams because it is difficult for other people such as amateurs to participate in complex construction.

With the development of game tools, Google wants to make this kind of animation production more common, which needs to provide more simple and easy-to-use production tools, otherwise, it will be difficult to popularize.

For the development concept of such tools, Google researchers mentioned that artistic expressions are usually arbitrary, and artists need to express their ideas quickly and intuitively.

Therefore, Google has developed the Monster Mash tool, which can be used to construct 3D animations in a random and hand-painted manner, and only need to draw the overall outline.

This tool can not only be used by professionals but also novices and amateurs can easily create expressive 3D animations through this tool.

The principle behind it is a complex algorithm developed by Google. The algorithm can automatically create a corresponding model based on the user’s hand-drawn content and even exercise on demand.

At present, Google has announced that this tool will be open source for all users to use, whether novice or professional users can use this tool to create complex animations.
