The development of 3D animation systems has been driven primarily by a hyper-realist ethos, and 3D computer graphic (CG) features have broadly complied with this agenda. As a counterpoint to this trend, some researchers, technologists and animation artists have explored the possibility of creating more expressive narrative output from 3D animation environments. This article explores 3D animation aesthetics, technology and culture in this context. Synthesizing research in CG, neuro - esthetics, art history, semiotics, psychology and embodied approaches to cognitive science, the nature of naturalistic vis-àvis expressive visual styles is analysed, with particular regard to expressive communication and cues for emotional engagement. Two foundations of naturalistic 3D CG, single-point perspective and photorealistic rendering,. | Animation http Animated Expressions Expressive Style in 3D Computer Graphic Narrative Animation Pat Power Animation 2009 4 107 DOI 1746847709104643 The online version of this article can be found at http cgi content abstract 4 2 107 Published by SAGE http Additional services and information for Animation can be found at Email Alerts http cgi alerts Subscriptions http subscriptions Reprints http Permissions http Citations http cgi content refs 4 2 107 Downloaded from http at AJOU UNIV on December 4 2009 mi an interdisciplinary article Animated Expressions Expressive Style in 3D Computer Graphic Narrative Animation Pat Power Abstract The development of 3D animation systems has been driven primarily by a hyper-realist ethos and 3D computer graphic CG features have broadly complied with this agenda.
