3D animation creates animation using three dimensional virtual space and has potential to create realistic and aesthetically stunning visual. 3D software is able to do so because of its calculation which can render images as realistic as real life images. We create walkthroughs and character animations using 3D models created using Blender, an open source 3D tool, from our repository at http://oscar.iitb.ac.in/blenderrepository.do.

Models
This has all 3D models related to sciences which have been specially created for the UG/PG and school level students. This repository provides collection of 3D models of physics lab instruments created using 3D software. Blender 3D is a open source 3D modeling and animation tool which is available for various platforms like Windows, Linux and Mac OS. These 3D models can be downloaded and used to create animations.

Animations
Using the models from our repository, we have created 3D animations for school students to enhance their learning and increase their interest levels.
Simulations
Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected physical or abstract system or process. The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time.
1. The simulation shown below includes animation created in Blender with interactive options.
Deep Prajvalan
2. These simulations are created in Blender Game Engine. To view these simulations, you need to install Burster plugin on your machine.
To download the plugin, refer the following link:
