Exploring Human Expressions to Build a Guideline for a 3D Animated Bengali Character

Abstract

In this modern era, 3D Animation is one of the most important media to communicate with people and to deliver messages. In the meantime, keeping pace with the times, a huge number of 3d animation works have already started in Bangladesh. Like other media, we are trying to express our emotions and we are trying to deliver messages through 3d animated films which are made in Bengali language and Bengali characters. I have noticed that while we are making Bengali 3d animated films, the characters of the films do not communicate with Bengali emotions. Bengali characteristics are not maintained properly in those characters' communication. The Bengali nation is identically different from other cultures in some characteristics. It can be in facial expressions or in gestures. In order to express our emotions through our stories, it is very important to portray a character with Bengali characteristics. So, the main object of this study is to explore the human expressions of Bengali people to build a guideline for creating 3d animated Bengali characters. I have found some similarities and differences between Bengali characters and western characters through my research. I have shown some of these characteristics in some 3d animated characters. I have also shown some betterment in existing Bengali animated films.
