2. Animation
Animation is the process of
displaying still images in a rapid
sequence to create the illusion of
movement.
It refers to moving images.
Each can be used to make
both 2D or 3D images.
3. Three main types of Animation:
1. Traditional:
Traditional animation involves drawing every frame of
a film by hand.
2. Stop Motion:
In this process, animators manipulate and photograph
objects one motion and frame at a time.
3. Computer Generated:
Animators can also use computer software to create
films and models, which is generally faster than the
traditional method.

4. 2D animation focuses on creating characters, storyboards and
backgrounds in two-dimensional environments.
2D animation created using computers and software programs
such as Adobe Photoshop, Flash.
These animations may be used in advertisements, films,
television shows, computer games or websites.

5. Two types:
1. Cel Animation:
Cel animation is based on changes that occur from one
frame to the next.
2. Path Animation:
Moves an object along a predetermined path on the
screen and the path can be a straight line or have a
number of curves.
Types of 2D Animation
6. Example of 2D Animation
2D animation has many applications, including analog computer
animation, Flash animation and PowerPoint animation.
7. 3D computer animation is a type of animation created by making and
manipulating a digital model in a three-dimensional (3D) graphics
program.
3-D Animation involves three steps:
1. Modeling – theprocessofcreatingobjectsand scenes.
2. Animation–theprocessofdefiningtheobject’smotion.
3. Rendering–thefinalstep in creating 3-D animation.
3D animation involves the creation of key frames, which are modified
and adjusted to create a final animation.
