Digital animation technology is increasingly advancing, as evidenced by the proliferation of animated films worldwide. This is also true in Indonesia, where the production of animated films has increased significantly due to the improvement and ease of digital animation technology. One of the most important parts of the animation process is the rigging process, which involves creating a skeleton for the character or object so that it can move and appear lifelike. The rigging process in the short animated film "The Relativity Of Reality" tells the story of Rei, a young boy who discovers advanced technology from a secret organization. However, the owner of the technology comes to take it back, leading to a struggle and chase. Rei decides to escape but is cornered and a battle ensues. The characters in the film are animated using rigging techniques, utilizing the Bendy Bone feature in the Blender application. This feature is useful in creating a rigged system for characters and objects. The result of applying rigging with the Bendy Bone feature is that characters move more fluidly, not only in the legs, body, and arms but also in the face. Therefore, the use of bendy bone and facial rigging in characters will make it easier to produce animations. In addition, rigging can also be applied to other moving objects such as cars, skateboards, doors, and cabinets.

This research discusses the impact of using 3D animation, especially using the Plotagon Studio application, on material on organizational movement towards independence at Cendana DDI Samarinda Middle School, which has several objectives: 1) To find out the procedures for implementing learning with 3D animation using the Plotagon Studio application. 2) to find out how teachers and students respond to learning using 3D animation, especially with the Plotagon Studio application at SMP Cendana DDI Samarinda. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive research which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research reveal that when using the Plotagon Studio application there are several procedures that need to be carried out. Apart from that, there were responses obtained from teachers and students regarding the use of 3D animation videos and the use of the Plotagon Studio application at SMP Cendana DDI Samarinda.

The rapid development of multimedia technology has significantly advanced 3D animation techniques, enabling the production of high-quality visual content across industries such as film, gaming, architecture, and product visualization. Rendering, as the final stage of the 3D production pipeline, plays a crucial role in determining both visual realism and production efficiency. This study compares the performance of three rendering engines—Eevee, Cycles, and Radeon ProRender—by evaluating rendering speed, visual quality, and memory efficiency in Blender. The objective is to provide practical insights for designers and digital content creators in selecting the most suitable rendering engine based on project requirements. In this research, three identical 3D scenes were rendered using each of the three rendering engines under controlled experimental conditions. The comparison was conducted based on several parameters, including rendering time, output file size, shadow accuracy, lighting effects, and overall visual realism. Quantitative measurements were used to evaluate render speed and memory consumption, while qualitative analysis assessed differences in shadow detail, global illumination behavior, reflection accuracy, and material realism. The results indicate that Eevee outperforms the other engines in terms of rendering speed, making it highly suitable for real-time applications and projects requiring fast previews. Cycles produces the highest level of visual realism due to its physically based path-tracing algorithm, although it requires longer rendering time and higher computational resources. Meanwhile, Radeon ProRender demonstrates competitive performance, particularly in shadow quality and lighting effects, offering a balanced alternative between realism and efficiency. Based on the findings, Blender remains a flexible and effective platform. The choice of rendering engine should depend on whether speed, graphic quality, or memory optimization is prioritized.
