What Is Animation ?
The Animation is a technology that allows any image, object
to walk, talk, or do some movement that cannot be physically moved.
We use many images to create an animation.
Computer animation is an art of creating moving images. We can define it as a
subfield of computer graphics and animation.
When we use animation in a movies or films,
it is called CGI (Computer Generated Imaging).
Application
of Animation :
1. Education: An animated
video or animated tutorial is used to increase the learning of the students.
The animation is mostly used in schools, colleges, and training centers.
2. Entertainment: It is a vast
area where we can use animations. Various animation methods are used in
cartoons, movies, motion pictures, and TV shows.
3. Advertisement: Animation is
also used to make ad films that take less space and captures the vast attention
of the people. It is a better way to provide more information about products.
4. Medical: Animation is
used in medical science. The professionals and the students can easily
visualize the details of human anatomy through medical animation.
5. Retail: The marketers
use animation to present the attributes of products to the customers.
6. Computer-Aided
Design: Animation
plays an important role in CAD. We can use CAD in automobile designing and many
other designing.
7. Gaming: Animation is
widely used in gaming. We can develop 3D games by using animation.
8. Presentation: We can
present anything through an animated presentation. Animated presentation is a
better way to represent an idea.
The Animation is divided into three parts …
1.
2D
2.
3D
3.
VFX
1. 2D Animation :
2D Animation Stands for “Two
Dimensional Animation “. 2D animation is defined as a process of
creating characters, storyboards, and backgrounds in a two-dimensional
environment.
2D animation is a flat animation that only works on two
coordinates x-axis(horizontal) and y-axis(vertical). The 2D animation uses
raster and vector graphics to create and edit animated images. For Example –
Cartoons
The software
used in 2D animation is :
1. Adobe
Photoshop
2. Adobe Flash
3. After Effects
4. Encore
1.
Easy to Control.
2.
Less Time-Consuming.
3.
Less Production Cost.
4.
Easy to change.
Disadvantage of 2D animation :
1.
Need proper skills to use animation software.
2. 3D Animation : 3D Animation Stands for ‘ Three Dimensional Animation ’. 3D animation is defined as the process of creating three-dimensional motion images in the digital environment. 3D Animation is used to create animated scenes through the computer.
We can manipulate 3D objects or models through the 3D animation
software. 3D animation works on all three coordinates x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.
For Example
1.
Toy
Story
2.
Jurassic
Park
3.
The
Transformers
The software used in 3D animation is :
1. Blender
2. Maya 3D
3. ZBrush
4.
Houdini
The process of producing 3D animations is divided into three
parts:
1.
Modeling : It is a phase in which we can describe the creation of 3D
objects within a specific scene.
2.
Layout and Animation : It is a phase in which we can
describe how objects are positioned and animated within a scene.
3. Rendering: It is a final process. It is a phase in which we can convert 3D objects or images into 2D objects or images.
Advantage of 3D animation :
1.
Motion Communication
2.
More Realistic
3.
Reusable
Disadvantage of D animation :
1.
Lack of purity
2. Limited Thought and Ideas
3.
VFX: VFX Stands for“Visual Effects.” It
is a process in which we can make a mixture of real shooting with animated
images. It is mostly and widely used in movie making.
For Example-
1.
In a movie, we will see the hero flying into the air by using VFX
effects.
2.
In the Jurassic Park movie, the dinosaurs are also created by using VFX effects.
The Software
used in VFX animation :
1. Nuke
2. After effects
3. 3D Studio Max
4. Adobe
Creative Suite 4
Advantage of VFX animation :
1.
It helps to show unreal objects.
2.
It saves a lot of time.
Disavantage of VFX animation :
1.
Need a Lot of Planning.
2.
Overuse of Visual Effects
