Thus, the characteristics of the characters can be better displayed. "Strengthening the role of the identity" can be achieved through character' status and their corresponding features in the storytelling to enhance character's modelling. Through the understanding of character structure and basic design methods, after simplifying, adding and re-combining with the anthropomorphic processing, innovative and unique shape of characters can be created. One the others hand, body movements of limb will show the character's and his emotion. An animation character, must unify his mind and behavior, to display a lively role.
