การเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพ การจัดแสงเงาและการซ้อนภาพแบบอัตโนมัติในงานอุตสาหกรรมแอนิเมชัน 3 มิติ

The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop an application program for lighting and automatic double exposure; 2) to evaluate the efficiency of the application program for lighting and automatic double exposure. Tools used in evaluating efficiency were: 1) an application program for lighting and automatic double exposure; 2) Questionnaire no the duration of the work by the target group; 3) Validation Form on lighting and automatic double exposure. The researcher applied Information System Development Life Cycle Theory by using Mel Script Editor in Maya and Nuke Script Editor. In Nuke program, an application program was developed and tested with 28 targets from 7 companies in Thailand’s animation industry. Validation was tested by 7 experts from 3 companies in Thailand’s 3D animation industry. The results revealed that: 1) An application program for lighting and automatic double exposure was obtained and could be operated with the main program for lighting and double exposure; and 2) The operation of this application program could help to save more time while improving correctness and reducing the cost of production

Automatic shader tool for 3D animation production in Thai industries

The 3D animation has become a big business in Thailand.We conduct the focus group with key authorities in the Thai animation industry in order to understand the real issues in Thai animations business.We found that Thai animators trend to manually set the attributes for the effects.This causes human errors and time delay in the development process.The aim of this research is to develop an automatic shader tool to help reduce human errors and time delay. But at the same time, the tool should give the animators control over the necessary attributes setting. Moreover, it should act as a learning tool for the new animators in Thai animation industry as well. This is because Thai animation industries require their animators to have basic understanding about the effect setting.Our tool is then tested with the animators in their real environment.The experts find our tool works efficiently and help them getting their job done quickly. Moreover, the new animators find the tool easy to use and reduce errors as well
