Animation softwares are developed to help people create their own visual effects.
Computer animation became known in the 70s when foreign filmmakers used the
computers as an aid for creating sci-fi objects and special effects. The filmmakers of
Star Wars, Indiana Jones series, Star Trek, etc. invested large amounts of money on
computers and softwares. The computers, mostly graphical workstations, were designed to generate and simulate real-life images. As a result, filmmakers became
very much impressed on the performance and the quality of results computers
generated in filmmaking. Furthermore, computers produced more impressive art
pieces.
