Abstract

A digital character is a relatively new concept to the world of film, while the earliest digital characters can be traced back to computer games. A digital character is a character usually seen in a film or game that has been made with a computer. Digital characters are widely used in different design fields. In the current society where CG technology is highly developed, they can be seen everywhere in video games, films, or even traditional television, and become more and more popular among the public. Therefore, it is essential for the cartoon, game, and film makers to produce more creative, practical and entertaining characters. Digital characters require that the designers should be equipped not only with the relevant CG technology, more importantly, with the knowledge how to develop characters with creative thinking.
