Avatars are the images of computer users found in computer games, internet forums or blogs. Three dimensional avatars are used in games and cartoons, while two dimensional ones are followed in internet forums. The idea had its origin in Hindu traditions where, as the myths goes, god took birth in many avatars or forms to meet specific purposes, but in anonymity.

Over the years, we have observed new concepts come and go, some take hold and are considered the next best thing to sliced bread, others fade away. Sometimes a concept or innovation succeeds because there is someone behind it that is truly inspired and dedicated to the cause, a salesman, spokesman, and hard charger who refused to give up.

Animation has come a long way in the last decade or so. The computers are getting faster and more powerful and the animators and technicians are getting smarter. Plus, there are more colleges and universities training the best and the brightest to enter this field. And for good reason too. In 2008 most of the animation movie companies made substantial profits, and they just cannot get enough qualified help.

It seems like computers have been around eternally. You buy a brand new one and then 2 years down the road it seems obsolete and there’s another one more advance and dynamic to take it’s place.

In a way thats exactly what is occurring with animation. Originally, there’s only the 2D animation, which in its time was challenging enough, and in fact still is. Technology stands still for no one so it stands to reason that animation would be included in this aspect too. As a result along came the 3D animation.
