Digital Textbooks of S3D Japanese Animation Making

The use of Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) is increasing in movies and game content. The use of S3D has spread also into animation. However, in the animation industry, human resources with applicable knowledge and competence in S3D production skills are insufficient. In an effort to amend this we have set out to develop a new education system that provides basic knowledge and training in production skills. The aim of this education system is to make S3D computer graphics animation that can be used in universities, vocational schools and companies. The education system consists of curricula and corresponding syllabus, digital textbooks, digital workbooks, animations, S3D computer graphics production work material, exercises and tests. This paper introduces the education system generally and four chapters containing digital textbooks and digital workbooks specifically.
