How to Make 3D Manga & Anime

Manga and anime are two terms for a cartoon style that originated in Japan and is characterized by wild or brightly colored hair, overly large eyes, small mouths and exaggerated facial expressions. The styles have expanded to include many different styles and manner of people and creatures. Three-D anime and manga are cartoon renderings created via computer program that mimic three-dimensional objects in three dimensional space. The animated characters move around within their environment, which is viewable from any direction. Create 3-D manga and anime online without any special 3-D modeling or animation software with sites such as The Sims, IMVU and World of Warcraft, where everything needed to create 3-D people and environments is provided by the site's programming.
