Computer Animation Tools

 To create various types of animation discussed above, we want to have particular software and hardware as well. Here, the fundamental constraint is regarding the choice of proper hardware and software out of the several available in the market.

Therefore, the fundamental problem is to choose or design animation tools that are expressive enough for the animator to identify what s/he wants to identify that, at the similar time, are powerful or automatic enough hence the animator does not have to identify the details that she or he is not interested in. Clearly, there is no particular tool that is going to be right for every animator or for every animation or even for all scenes in a particular animation. The suitability of a particular animation tool is based on the effect desired through the animator. An artistic piece of animation will possibly need different tools that are both software and hardware to simulate reality. With software we require to have some particular hardware to work with the involved software.
