What is Animation ?

• The animation is a dynamic factor in which
  objects or images are manipulated to resemble as
  running pictures.
• In the traditional animation, the images were
  drawn by hand on cels to be photographed and
  exhibited on film.
• Nowadays most animations are made with
  computer-generated imagery (CGI).

What is 2D Animation ?

• 2D Animation is an acronym for two dimensional.
• 2D Animation refers to the creation and
  modification of moving pictures on computers in a
  two-dimensional situation using 2D vector
  graphics and 2D bitmap.
• Pictures can be seen from one angle at the moment.

What is 3D Animation ?

• 3D Animation is an acronym for three dimensional.
  
• The 3D technology of computer animation refers to
  the creation of moving pictures using 3D digital
  environment.

2D Animation 3D Animation
2D Animation is a flat animation and comprises only X axis and Y axis. 3D animation comprises of the X axis, Y axis and Z axis. X, Y and Z refer to height, width and depth respectively.
2D animation works on onion tool kits. 3D animation ruses digital modeling and rendering.

Realistic Appeal

• 2D animation consists of frames and carries no
  realistic feather in them whereas 3D animation
  comprises of movements and carries realistic
  appeal in them.
• 3D technology enables the use of lighting and
  textures that can be used to create better stable
  images and can be merged into vital video
  components.

11
Applicability

• 2D animation is widely used in 2D animated
  movies, television advertisements, cartoons,
  films, video games, engineering demos, websites,
  e-learning and many more.
• 3D animation is widely used in Architecture,
  Medical, and Aerospace, Engineering, gaming
  industry, biotechnology, movies and many more.

12
Software Used in Animation

• Adobe After Effects, Adobe Flash Professional,
  Motion, Toon Boom, and Anime Studio are some of
  the commonly used software used to create 2D
  animation.
• Autodesk 3Ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Cinema 4D,
  ZBrush, and Blender are some of the commonly used
  software used to create 3D animation.

13
Example

• Examples of 2D Animation are Daffy Duck, Bugs
  Bunny, Snow White, the little mermaid, family
  guy, etc.
• Examples of 3D Animation are films like Toy
  Story, Shrek, Jurassic Park, The Transformers,
  etc.

14

• Although 3D animation offers several advantages
  over 2D animation, most users prefer a
  combination of both the techniques.
• A mix of 2D and 3D animation gives a more natural
  presentation. 2D animation techniques are more
  suitable for users having low budgets.
