A maquette is a 3D model that animators use and reference when animating a character. A maquette helps bring consistency, along with model sheets, among the drawings of the same character by different animators.
The word maquette comes from a French source. It originally meant unfinished architectural piece or a "small scale of a sculpture." According to the glossary on the Tate Gallery website, smaller more impromptu versions of sculptures or mosaics are often highly valued by art buyers. This is because the quickly made prototype is a likely to capture the immediacy of the creative moment. If the artist creates a series of maquettes, the process through which the idea was developed is visible.
Teachers can use developmental maquettes to explain to students how creative ideas are visualised. Understanding this process will stimulate creative ideas and encourage novel approaches to planning when students design their projects.
By creating a small inexpensive version of the real thing, artists can show collaborators what artworks will look like, without wasting the time and money it would require to make a test run of the real thing.
