An introduction to Post Production

Post Production for any animated movie is a linear process wherein every minute change is done with concentration and perfection. As the term itself says “Post” meaning that it will perform after the first two phases have done their job accurately with finesse.
Widening the term, it focuses on:
Editing, Sound Design, Visual Effects, Audio Mixing, Colour Correction/Grading.
http://gameyan.com/blog/animation-film/an-introduction-to-post-production/
 Editing
The frames created for an animated film is then passed to the editor room where the frames of the video are bifurcated. Unwanted frames are cut down and the remaining frames are properly organised in a sequence which is known as rough cut or block editing.
While editing, the sound is considered the most important because the charm that the music creates with each frame. When frames are cut down, the flow of sound should not be affected rather it should be in flow.
During the frames editing, frames which you need or not needed become the most important segment of discussion. Sometimes, the frames which are not in perfect resolution may be reframed. From start to end, each and every frame is a point of anticipation. May be the beginning is not alluring or the end does not attract the movie lovers, all these points are considered. Lastly, all these frames are organised in sequence which completes the process.
Sound Design
The sound design includes background scores and voice hovers which act as a pacemaker in any animated film. To keep holding the audience where story plays a crucial role, sounds creates an impact on them.
Editing sound leads to recheck with the dialogue line. They make a note of lines which requires a re-take. Sometimes, the words get overlapped with the background score and needs to be clean using the sound editor. This process is known as ADR.
After the sound editing is up to the mark, the suitable music is bought online or free tracks from premium packs are downloaded that flows with the story line.
The foremost point is budget and for any business, creating an original track flowing with the story line can be expensive and time consuming to produce which may not be considered as fruitful.
For the most part, Visual Effects encompasses everything from painting out cables, rig removal, digital replacing signage, blending two takes together, and generally anything that, if done properly, is completely invisible, yet very important. Only when the budget is more, many creative things can take place and more detailed visual effects can be added.
The time it takes and the cost of the software to produce VFX can mean it is a shelved to ponder for most people looking to make attractive video.
Audio Mixing
Once the sound has been edited, the dialogue more clear and the music vibrating the wires, it’s the job of the sound designer to bring all these sound elements into harmony with each other. Sound mixing can be tangle. You might be doing a 7.1 theatrical mix (that’s seven speakers and a subwoofer), but in the main, business video or web videos will be mixed down for stereo.
Dynamic range, or the difference between the quietest parts and the loudest parts, is another issue when mixing audio. Theatrical mixes often have gamut because they can rely on a controlled listening environment (i.e. a movie theatre). However, with mixes for TV advertisements or online video the range has to be low.
Once the sound is mixed, the sound part of a video is completely done.
Colour Correction/ Grading
To start with the process, colour grading includes the blending of white with the different colour shades.  This sort of blending creates a balance between frames making the resolution of gif image clear and beautiful.
Applying an appropriate colour grade to the video that has the potential to leverage its viewpoint. The look could be everything from the sickly green of The Matrix, to the bleach bypassed desaturated look of Saving Private Ryan.
At the highest level, a very expensive monitor is needed to properly judge the colour and the looks. However, without the world’s best monitor, the best course of action is to colour correct the video and then watch it on as many TVs and monitors as possible and then use that information to apply any further tweaks.
Once that’s done, you combine the final sound mix and the final colour correction / grade and the video is finished.
Here comes an end to post production of an animated movie and game.

GameYan is back with another action packed game VR Contro -The Soldier

    Download it now… Available on Google Play Store and iTunes Store



On the eve of March 1,2016 – GameYan took the launch of second VR game titled VR Contro -The Soldier to app stores and framed in bold letters along with graphics. It is the first run and gun VR game developed using VR technology and rays of 3D. There are two modes of playing the game;
  1. 1. Acceleration mode - Normal device mode.
  2. 2. VR Cardboard mode.
It’s a single player game loaded with action, firing, guns and yes thrilling fun. The default weapon of the player is rifle filled with unlimited ammunition that can be upgraded with one of the four other guns. These can be obtained by destroying the pill box sensors and flying item capsules containing them, or by defeating the red-clad guards in the enemy bases. They consists of a semi-automatic machine gun, a laser gun that shoots a powerful beam, a fireball gun that shoots its rounds in a corkscrew pattern, and a spread gun that sprays bullets in five directions. There are also two auxiliary power-ups that only appear in certain areas when the player is armed with his default gun: a rapid bullets upgrade that increases the firing speed of the player’s shots; and a barrier that makes him invulnerable for a limited period.
While playing this action thriller commando game, you will come across three stages: Easy, Medium and Difficult. Each stage has unique ferocious format. If you attack on enemy you will gain points else attack on you will subtract your life. To track life and points, panel is designed. Yellow is for life and red for points.

Pre-Production – The Initial Stage of Any Visual Project

Pre-Production!!! What is pre-production?
It is important rather say crucial stage of any project. Concept, story writing, scripting, character designing, voice hover and what not is included. Production and Post Production stage depends upon this first step. As it is truly said “If you toil in your First Step and it is accurate and well defined  then you can walk rest of the steps nimble and easy.”

Other than the major steps described above, there are list of tasks which we need to execute in this stage. If not, then these small-small things can create a blunder in the final stage.



Let’s shed light on the steps involved in Pre-Production
  1. Concept: Before making any film, advertising or game, we need to create a concept. Without the concept, the story will not be able to attract the audience. Take any media company, say Game Development Studio, Animation Movie Production Companies, Film Animation Companies, Film Production Company and other such companies work day and night for concept and title first and then proceed for the story writing.
  2. Story Writing: Concept is ready, title is finalized. Now the writer envisions the story and connects it with the concept. He draws the focus of the audience towards the concept and brings out the purpose behind his story writing.
  3. Script Writing: Now, time for some action, dialogs and scripts. These three elements are the punching part of any visual project. Scripts, action and dialogs are sequenced and written considering the characters and the scene.
  4. Storyboard: Storyboard is like a flip book. What action a character performs in a particular scene is drawn. Though, a rough sketch but storyboard gives a clear picture of the movements of a character and how the scene is going to look like.
  5. Voice Hover : Usually, in films the characters speak their dialogs but what about animated films? Voice hover artists record the dialogs of the characters in the first stage so that when the final character is modelled, the recorded voice can be integrated during designing it with the final character model.
  6. Animatic Effects : These effects are made after storyboard and voice hover. Once character is designed, the recorded voice is integrated with it for testing purpose before the final designing and effects.
  7. Character Design with clay sculpting: First, artists draw rough sketches of a character. Then character is sculpted with clay. Sculpting and designing of a character is done to clear the imagination of the story and type of characters required in a particular scene. This type of character designing and clay sculpting is done in large media companies like Animation Production Companies, Game Development Studios, Animation Movie Production Companies.
Hope this short and precise introduction to pre-production will give you a clear idea what is preproduction and why it is requisite.
GameYan is one of the good companies involved in Pre-production. Its recent examples can be seen in the website page as well http://www.gameyan.com/project.html.

An Introduction to Game Props Modeling

Hello People!!! We all enjoy playing games. They are just fun. Developers and designers put lot of efforts and take care of even minute things used while developing a Game. Characters, Props, CET, voice, background music, what not…
This time we will be focusing on Game Props Modeling!!!
What are Props in Game?

Assets like road, street light, waterfall, jungle, trees which categorizes the environment, comes under props. Second is, Gun, Knife, Sword or whatever a character is holding in its hand is known as prop. Props in simple language means the object that speaks about the action which a character is going to perform either currently or in near time.

2D Game Assest Design





How props are designed?
Props are created in low polygon using either Maya or Unity software. Usually,modeling props in Maya is preferable. Then, these low poly props models are dragged to Zbrush or Mudbox software for sculpting. Afterwards, a texture is created in ZBrush where a new terrain is drawn virtually. Then, again that prop is brought to Maya where a geometry map is created according to the texture. Finally, XY Shrink wrap script is used to adapt all the details from low poly props model and transform it to a high poly props model giving it a final shape.
If we focus more on Zbrush tool, this software is used for sculpting, detailing and rigging.
Sculpting means creating object by carving, casting, or other shaping techniques.
Detailing means addition of elements in a void object to give it an appropriate shape.
Rigging means supporting element of an object. Say for example, human beings have bones and joints which help them to move their hands and limbs. Similar way, props are given supporting element (rigged ) if required.
This was just an introduction to Game Props Modeling. I hope you have got an idea about modelling props in games which you were not aware before.

Importance Understanding top Game Development Platforms


GameYan have always served as the catalysts of growth technologies. Whether consoles or applications, games led the futures market more than any other kind of soft. There are nearly a  decade, the game market has been limited to a few large publishers, but thanks to smart devices, this line has now gone. Individual developers can now find their way directly to the markets. The thing to consider, however, is the game development platform.
Increased demand for game application gave rise to game development platforms. Although iOS and Android continue to rule the market, one can not ignore the escalation of other platforms like Microsoft. Such a situation requires rational understanding of game development platforms for game developers.Here are some important reasons why understanding a game development platform is so important.
1 SDK
Almost all platforms provide developers with SDK. What differs is the robustness of the SDK. For example, if you are looking for lots of APIs, Unity perhaps could serve as the best platform for game development. GameYan  Game Development Studio in this platform will also give you support for multiple mobile platforms that include Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry also Android and iOS. This certainly gives it another plus point.
2 App Store, or both consoles
Survival of the fittest is the mantra that most applications follow stores. So you have to accept that while smart devices are paving the way for a developer in the big picture, survival is entirely in its hands of developers. That’s why most developers attempt to reach a wider audience by hitting both App Store and consoles. If your goal is just to hit the market the app, then you might want to go for the unit. But if PC and consoles are your goals then Unreal Engine provide a better platform. Some of you may want the other taste success on both levels.For them, Marmalade would be a better choice.
3 Opportunities
Relationship possibilities and game development platforms may seem strange to some of you. A simple example that clarifies the doubts. Unit 4 is free, but go to Unity Pro will cost $ 750 developer. Upside of Unity Pro is that it comes with optional add-ons for iOS, Android and BlackBerry. This means that a single set of yours built with Unity Pro can hit three platforms.
You see now the great opportunity of spending $ 750? Corona SDK, Project Anarchy and many other platforms are there. If you are in more of a platform game development, then go for the one that offers you these new opportunities.
The Bottom Line
Whether a casual game or a multi-player game, every imaginable game in today’s time carries the potential to become a great success. But the central role played by the game development platform can not be ignored. Therefore, assess your skills and go for the one with which you can capture the whole picture with minimum hassle.

Travel the world of Motion Capture Animations Studio with GameYan Studio

Motion Capture is precisely what it says: it's physical moves, though execution catch is the whole execution – including your facial execution. In case you're doing, say, combative technique for a computer game,that is movement catch. This is fundamentally another method for recording a performer's execution: sound, facial and physical. Say Andy Serkis .


Motion Capture has turned into the soul technology in creating 3D Games, movie picture/film generation keeping in mind the end goal to get reasonable human developments. Remember?? The 3D film, Avatar which released at the end of December 2009. This is the best sample one can use to portray this innovation. In any case, yes the making of the motion picture took parcel of time. This film was made utilizing Optical Motion Capture System



That year and this year, innovation has propelled a considerable measure. Contrasting and Traditional Marker-based Optical Motion Capture Systems, Marker less Motion Capture Animation Studio is more advent and expensive. This studio does not require any chrome impacts or uncommon suites with markers, this best in class innovation takes a shot at particular calculations to track movements of ongoing. Presently, the artists and amusement engineers can catch impeccable movements in brief timeframe. 
GameYan is about Marker less Motion Capture Animations. From making Face Motion Capture to Full Body Motion Capture and Real Time Motion Capture , this movement studio has denoted its foot shaped impressions in the realm of 3D activity.


Using Marker less Motion Capture Animation Studio, GameYan has achieved specialization in creating miraculous 3D Character Animations for game development, film and movie production, commercial and emerging forms of interactive media with Motion Capture technology. We focus on fine motions of humans and translate it to a usable digital format. With lot of innovations, research and efforts, we create these illusions and add life in them. To retain the integrity of the Character’s performance, driven through the real world, we use MoCap Data.
Here are few of our examples which have created great impact in the world of 3D Animations.

Is there any difference between 3D Games and Movies?

“There’s something that 3D gives to the picture that takes you into another land and you stay there and it’s a good place to be…
It’s like seeing a moving sculpture of the actor, and it’s almost like a combination of theatre and film and it immerses you in the story more. I saw audiences care about the people more.” Says Martin Scorcese (Goodfellas, Hugo).
3D Modelling is the best way to transform the real world into virtual using the appropriate softwares,techniques and characters.Though, the techniques and processes of carving 3D Modeling for games and movies resembles, yet they differ in many ways and too have limitations. Don’t think so?? This blog will let you know in what ways 3D Modelling differs for games and movies.
What is the difference between the two?
Movies
3d Modelling for movies is quite straight forward in its approach. Models are made at whatever level of point of interest has been chosen is required. Modeling characters for film speaks the truth discovering the equalization of creation rate and nature of picture that it will produce. A 3D modeller may utilize any type of modelling systems, be it spline modeling, NURBs modeling or high poly sculpted meshes. A 3D modeller’s employment in film is to assemble models and commonly that is their just obligation. They don’t need to compose the model in light of the fact which ultimately is taken care of by a surface craftsman. In short the only limitation set on how things are created for films are the standard three elements for any venture; Time or the speed it should be done and requirement of high quality.


Games
Unlike 3D Movies, the approach for 3D Games is not easy. The modelling of characters depends on the hardware and the engine of the gaming devices. In past recent years, apart from video games, many new gaming devices such as Play Stations, XBox One, Game Stick, Razer Edge Pro and Razer Blade Pro have sparkled the world of games from all the corners. Though, these devices have a boom yet the graphics of the games have low quality. While modelling gaming characters, a polygon of the graphics is the biggest point to ponder on. Rather than utilizing more of polygons in rendering a character, level of detail (LOD) is used. To give quality effect, the artists spend more time in texturing and detailing the players of the game. But, now a day, as the technology is paving its way towards advancement, gaming devices is leaving no stones unturned to enhance the engines and hardware for HD quality representation of graphics.
Let’s take an example to get into detail.
When it comes to movies, we think of the animated features of the Avengers – The Age of Ultron , these characters are created without having any limitation of polygons. The only constraint affecting in making movie characters is time, as they have to meet their deadlines.

This means, for movies, a good quality and high revolutionary models are created counting on time and budget.
Whereas, in games more than one characters are rendered and perform some action consuming the energy of the processor at a same time. So, to manage the constant frame rate throughout is tough and leads to pause in the functioning of engine and hardware. That is the reason, the 3D models are created at a level not burdening on the capacity of the game engine.



Thus, it’s always a fun in modeling game characters rather than movie characters, though the models are bound by a lot of restrictions because it is a challenging task and you come up with best possible notions to limit the use of polygons and count more on detailing the characters
