UNDERSTAND
Mensuration is all about the process of measurement. It is based on the use of algebraic
equations and geometric calculations to provide measurement data regarding the width, depth, and the
volume of a given object or group of objects. Measurements are obtained by estimating while
calculations are obtained by computing to arrive at definite answer. Mensuration is often based on
making use of a model or base object that serves as the standard for making the calculations.
Calculation is an assessment for risk, possibilities, or effects of a situation or course of action.

Film animation technology has become a long way since the early days of hand drawn
cartoons. Over the years, the techniques used by animators to bring characters to life have improved
dramatically. Traditional animation created the illusion of movement through frame-by-frame
manipulation of drawings and illustrations. Three-dimensional images are widely used today by most
animators. With the help of technology and animation software the creation of moving pictures or
images were made possible in today’s animation. The animation industry is already dependent on
computers to achieve a photorealistic textures, colors, expression, and movement of characters and
backgrounds. The advent of computers has help animation studios to create computer-generated
images and handle large amounts of data to be carried out on powerful desktop computers.

PERFORMING BASIC MENSURATION

A computer is a powerful tool because it’s stores huge amount of data and information computers
come in different styles sizes and types in creating an animation film it requires a large computer
memory to cope with the images during the line testing digital coloring and shooting the final film
characters and backgrounds are already painted by computers it is insane essential to know the
different types of computer components and objects because each part plays an important role
whenever an animator uses the computer

Types of Components and Objects to Be Measured

1.) Memory
a. Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of data storage were data is permanently stored on
computers and other electronic devices it performs major input output task and hold
programs or software instructions that are essential for boot up and needed to start a
computer.
2|Pa ge
 b. Random access memory (RAM) is the most common type of memory were data
programs and operating system are stored so that they can be assessed quickly in any
random order.

2.) Data Storage

a. Hard drive is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information from
non-volatile memory in random access.
b. Optical drive is a storage device that uses light to read and write information such as
CD, DVD and, Blu-ray drives.
c. External drive is an external removable hard disk drives typically connected via USB.

3.) Processor
Central progressing unit (CPU) is the hardware device in a computer system that
processes the instructions of a computer program

4.) Video card

Video card is also known as graphics card it is a device in a computer that outputs
visual information to the monitor

CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS OF RELEVANT SOURCES

It is vital to know the key components that make up the computer so that no one can decide
what they want the computer to do and what they actually need. The most important components to
consider in reviewing the specification or the process for the amount of data storage, and the size of a
hard drive.

UNDERSTANDING A SPCIFICATION

Specification or spec is a list of key components that make up the computer. Specification of the
computer are usually provided by retailers to help customers decide which combination of features you
need for animation. It is important to start by deciding what it is you want your computer to do. This
then informs what specification you actually need. When buying a computer knowing the specs will
enable animators to come up with wise decision.

Processor Information

Processors are defined by their speed either in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). It
means the number of operation they can perform per second. The higher the value the faster
the PC can perform. Nowadays, processors are designed by two companies: Intel and Advanced
Micro Devices (AMD). The table shows the different levels of processors ideal for a specific
activity:

LEVEL OF PROCESSORS
Entry-Level Processors Mid-Range Processors High-End Processors
Office application Educational software 3D graphics and video editing
Internet browsing Office applications Office applications
Basic graphics programs General multimedia applications Internet browsing
Home computing Internet browsing Digital coloring
Creating Layout Photo editing Shooting the final film
Vector work Line testing
Creating layout Data processing
2D digital painting 3D modeling
TYPES OF PROCESSORS
Entry-Level Processors Intel Celeron D, AMD Sempron
Mid-range Processors Intel Pentium 4, AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon (32-bit)

High-End Processors Xeon, AMD Athlon 64X2

One of the main advantages of having multi-core process or its smoothness when doing
multiple task on his or her computer. However, it does not mean that more cores make the
performance of the computer better. Ideally, having at least dual-core processor with 2Ghz will

3|Pa ge
 make users comfortable with the performance of their computer. Nowadays most computers
come up with quad-core. Not many applications utilize quad-core, but they are good to get if the
price difference is not too much over the dual-core. This is because the OS can assign the
processors OS functions, and some processors to the software, and when there is no sharing of
processor, you get better response.

Memory Information

RAM is the main working memory in a computer that stores and retrieves information. The
processor uses this memory to run programs. RAM is measured in megabytes (MB). Most
modern computers use DDR 2 RAM. Knowing the specs when buying a desktop computer or a
laptop will save users money and satisfy them with the performance they require. If you are the
type of user who usually use that desktop computer or laptop for general purpose, the
recommended RAM is 1024 MB or 1GB. If you are the type of user who uses desktop computer
or laptop for multimedia applications or high-end graphics the recommended RAM is 2048MB or
2GB.

When an animator is doing 3D animation, for example, the RAM temporarily stores those
unsaved files before the animator saves them. If the size of RAM is full, the computer will slow
down causing those temporary files to be saved on a different, slower hard drive. Animators
need bigger RAM size since they are using graphic applications. An 8GB RAM is recommended
for general graphics work.

Hard drive information

OTHER DATA STORAGE

Floppy disc 1.44 MB
Zip disc 750 MB
CD-ROM 800 MB
Jaz drive 2 GB or 2,000 MB
DVD 4.7 GB or 4,7000 MB
USB memory stick 16 GB or 16,000 MB
Backup tape 800 GB or 800,000 MB
Hard drive 1 TB or 1,000,000 MB

The hard drive information is the computers primary storage area that stores the
applications and programs that run on the PC. Hard drive is measured by gigabytes (GB). The
minimum recommended hard drive capacity for typical users to do minimal work on their PC is
at least 80 GB for animators to use a large graphics and other digital software the recommended
hard drive capacity should be 200 GB and above. Saved files stored in hard drive can be done
when hard drive breaks down it is a must for any users specially animators to have a backup file
storage external hard drive is commonly used by many users to back up and secure their files.

Graphics Cards Information

These cards are installed inside a PC that allow computers to produce graphics and images
more quickly. Users who do not use their computers frequently do not need faster graphics card.
The built-in graphics card should suffice. For gamers, they need to review the specs of the
laptops before buying because graphics card on laptops cannot be upgraded. For animators,
computers need to have a separate PCI 128MB graphics card. Graphics cards with faster
processor and memory will display images quickly.

Types of graphics cards:

1.) Integrated graphics cards are on board graphics cards that come up with standard motherboard.
2.) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) graphics cards are those that use the PCI slots on the
motherboard connected to the computer.
3.) AGP graphics cards are similar to PCI graphics cards but have for speeds the fastest being 8x.
4.) PCI Express is most advanced connection to the motherboards PCIE slot this can be accelerated to
16x.
