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. While traditional methods involve hand-drawing each frame on paper, modern digital techniques utilise the latest specialised software to create and manipulate images electronically. With these advancements in technology, digital tools have become increasingly popular due to their efficiency and versatility.

2D animation is widely used in various forms of media, including television shows, films, advertisements, web content, video games, and educational materials. It offers a versatile platform for storytelling, character animation, visual effects, and conveying complex concepts in an engaging and accessible manner.

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. The animation process in 3D involves creating a sequence of frames, similar to 2D animation. However, in 3D animation, each frame contains information about the position, rotation, and scale of the objects and characters within the scene. By manipulating these parameters over time, animators create the illusion of movement and bring the animation to life.

3D animation is widely used in various industries, including film, television, video games, advertising, architecture, and product visualisation. It offers a high level of realism and allows for complex storytelling, dynamic camera movements, and realistic simulations of physical phenomena such as gravity, physics, and fluid dynamics.
