CHARACTER DESIGN IN AN ANIMATED FILM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, COMPUTER PROGRAMS OR MANUALLY

Character design in a 2D animated film using artificial intelligence applications, specialized computer programs, or manual design, is due to the importance of character design in building the film.The problem: study the role and impact of using the artificial intelligence applications, specialized computer programs or hand drawing in character design in a 2D animated film, then in the animation industry and the positive and negative aspects of this role on that industry.The methodology: is the descriptive approach, starting with defining the research problem, collecting data from various references, then, hypotheses are developed that help to reach solutions results, evidence, and recommendations.One of the conclusions: the role of artificial intelligence applications in creating multiple designs with high efficiency and diversity, reducing the time and effort for work. While computer programs provide the tools necessary to design and modify more quickly compared to manual design. Though handmade designs give the designer the opportunity to express his artistic style, more related to the designer’s vision, carrying a human glimpse that is not available with the use of a machine.The researcher recommends combining technology with artificial intelligence applications or specialized digital programs, with the capabilities and speed of performance they provide, and manual design, with the creativity it provides that achieve the human aspects of character design.Recommending: develop the artist’s manual skills, in addition to continuous training on digital programs and advanced artificial intelligence applications.
