What is 2D Animation?

2D animation, also known as two-dimensional animation, is a traditional animation technique that involves creating movement in a two-dimensional space. In 2D animation, characters, objects, and environments are typically drawn or digitally created on a flat surface, such as paper or a computer screen, with height and width dimensions but no depth.

The animation process in 2D involves sequencing a series of individual drawings, known as frames, to create the illusion of motion. Each frame represents a slight variation of the preceding one, creating a fluid movement when played in rapid succession. This technique is often referred to as "cel animation," stemming from the traditional use of celluloid sheets for drawing and animating characters. 

With advancements in technology, digital tools have become increasingly popular for 2D animation due to their efficiency, versatility, and scalable end-product.

What is 3D Animation?

3D animation, also known as three-dimensional animation, is a digital animation technique that involves creating moving images in a three-dimensional environment. Unlike 2D animation, which exists on a flat surface, 3D animation allows objects and characters to have depth, giving them a more lifelike appearance.

In 3D animation, objects and characters are built using digital modelling software, which enables animators to create detailed three-dimensional models. These models consist of vertices, edges, and faces, which are manipulated to achieve the desired shape and form. Additionally, textures, colours, and lighting effects are applied to enhance the realism of the models.
