The 3D animation software refers to computer-generated imagery (CGI) application that is used for visualizing, developing and modifying static and dynamic 3D images and animations. The software integrates video footage and artificial images to create realistic objects and scenes through various technologies, such as visual effects (VFX), 3D modeling, motion graphics and 3D rendering. The software consists of customizable characters, libraries of animations, automatic lip-syncing and pre-defined sets. It is widely used for developing creative effects in brand advertisements and product promotions, visualization of scientific, product and system information, and visual analytics. It finds extensive applications across various industries, including media & entertainment, architecture, healthcare and life sciences.
The emerging trend of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), along with the increasing demand for 3D mobile applications and games, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the 3D animation software market. In line with this, there is widespread adoption of animation software and stereoscopic 3D gaming platforms to create visually enhanced and immersive animations, along with life-like characters and scenarios, which is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, various technological advancements and increasing utilization of the animation software for educational and academic applications are also providing a boost to the market growth. Educational content and e-learning platform developers are incorporating 3D animated videos in their curriculum to create an effective and engaging learning environment. Additionally, increasing utilization of this software for 3D mapping and laser screening for geospatial, geological, geophysical and mining applications is projected to drive the market further.
