Who should animate the 3d model before putting it on the site (artist or programmer)?

Question

3D

Hello people, I wanted to ask you, for working with 3D, let's say I created a 3D model, just a sculpture, now I want to animate it so that my sculpture makes different movements (running / walking / jumping / breathing, etc.) and that's all I want put on the site.
Tell me the animation is done by the programmer? Or is the programmer just making my living sculpture appear in the browser?

Answer 1

Tell me the animation is done by the programmer?

No, the artist does it. (i.e. you)

Or is the programmer just making my living sculpture appear in the browser?

Yes

Answer 2

Who should do [action name]

As you agree, so be it. There may not be absolute answers, it all depends on the skills and workload of the team members. In creative development, you can often meet people who can do something not only in their main specialty, but also in related ones.

running/walking/jumping/breathing

Skeletal, pre-calculated, animations are usually done by 3D artists or programmers who are well versed in this whole topic. Just because it is more convenient to do it in 3D software (substitute the name to taste), and pure front-end developers in 99% of cases can only do some very basic things in it and spend too much time on the same run. But generative things, and even depending on the user's reactions - rather, on the contrary, it will be easier for programmers with developer tools in the browser than to crutch something directly from modeling software. But here everything depends on the specific tasks.

Answer 3

if the animation is procedural, then it is determined by the programmer, if the animation is regular - by the 3D animator
