In class, the teacher explained that although it is academic writing, it does not require overly complex language or highly ornate and advanced vocabulary. Academic writing should be concise, clear, formal, and active. It does not need to be complicated or rely on long sentences and obscure words. Being concise in formal academic writing is important, as it helps others understand the points you are making.
I continued to gather data and references for my writing. I repeatedly used the keyword “3D animation” to search various authoritative academic writing websites. I found one article related to 3D technology, but it leaned more toward modeling rather than techniques for creating animation (Animation Image Art Design Mode Using 3D Modeling Technology Animation Image Art Design Mode Using 3D Modeling Technology – Tan – 2022 – Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing – Wiley Online Library. Then I found another article titled Real Time Animation of Trees Based on BBSC in Computer Games (Real Time Animation of Trees Based on BBSC in Computer Games Real Time Animation of Trees Based on BBSC in Computer Games – Ao – 2009 – International Journal of Computer Games Technology – Wiley Online Library and considered using it as a reference. However, upon careful reading, I realized it wasn’t the content I was looking for.
After repeatedly searching for articles and finding none that matched my needs, I began to consider whether I should simplify my topic, just as my teacher suggested, by narrowing the scope. So, I started thinking about my favorite 3D animation, ARCANE.
