Character modeling design is the highlight of animation design. What do you think are the characteristics of Japanese anime characters?

Generally speaking, the concepts and categories of animation and comics are different. For the former, there are many aspects involved, including literature, music, photography, digital media, movies, comics, painting and so on. Animation originated in England in the middle of19th century, and flourished in America after a long period of development. China animation originated in the 1920s. Animation is an art, although it started late, but after nearly a hundred years of development and growth, it has basically formed a systematic and perfect industrial system and theoretical system, which has strong artistic charm and has been widely recognized and loved by people.

Generally speaking, animated characters are the soul of animated works. An excellent work must have good character design and shaping. With their rich cultural connotations, positive attitude towards life, optimistic personality characteristics and distinctive shapes, they have won people's wide love and greatly improved the commercial value of their works. Excellent character design is the premise and foundation for the success of one-stop animation works. Although with the passage of time, people are likely to gradually forget the plot of the work, an exaggerated, strange and vivid character often stays in the audience's mind for a long time. Therefore, the artistic style and artistic value of animation works largely depend on the shaping of characters and the design of other related artistic elements.

In the process of creation and design of all kinds of animation works, role design is a crucial link, and modeling design is the basis and premise of role design, which can have a significant impact on the direction, style and plot of the whole works. Among them, the meaning of the role can have a very wide and far-reaching impact, similar to the star film and television in film works, not limited to the work itself. The value and significance of an excellent animation work goes far beyond the video itself.

Generally speaking, in the commercial creation of animation works, the role modeling design is usually carried out after the script creation, creativity and commercial planning are completed. Character modeling design is the core part of art design and the first part of early creation of works. The success of character modeling design can have a great influence on the later design effect of the work, as well as on the artistic quality and style of the work, and then on the production cycle and cost of the work.
