This document discusses different types of animation techniques. There are three main types of animation: 2D animation which uses the x and y axes and remains static on the screen, 2.5D animation which adds the z-axis through shadowing and highlighting but images remain two-dimensional, and 3D animation which considers all three axes and allows movement towards and away from the viewer. Some specific animation techniques discussed include cel animation where frames are drawn on clear sheets and compiled, computer animation which focuses on color and layers, and stop motion animation where objects are altered and photographed frame-by-frame to create movement. Common file formats for animation are also listed.
Animation technique
- 2. What is Animation?? • Collection of images rapidly displayed to provide visual change over time. • There are three types of animation:- – 2D Animation – 2 ½D Animation – 3D Animation
- 3. 2D Animation • x and y axes of the screen • Simple and Static ,not changing their position on the screen • Examples are -Powerpoint Animation -Flash Animation -Analog computer Animation
- 4. 2 ½D Animation • Z axis is added to an image through shadowing and highlighting. • But image itself still rests on the flat x and y axes in two dimensions.
- 5. 3D Animation • x ,y and z axes are consider • Creation of front, back, sides, top, and bottom to move towards or away from the viewer • Examples are -Motion Capture -Cel Shaded Animation
- 6. Animation Techniques • Cel animation • Computer animation • Kinematics animation • Model animation or stop motion animation
- 7. Cel Animation • Cel derived from the clear celluloid sheets that were used for drawing each frame • Divided into different frames • Process of Tweening • After the process, pencil frames are made, checked and at last animated movie is prepared.
- 8. Example of Cel Animation..
- 9. Computer Animation • Same as Cel Animation • But concentrate on color values, edge detection and layering so that image can blend or produce more effect.
- 10. • The screen is blanked to a background color, such as black. • Then a goat is drawn on the right of the screen. Next the screen is blanked, but the goat is re- drawn or duplicated slightly to the left of its original position. This process is repeated
- 11. Kinematics Animation • Kinematics is the study of the movement and motion of structures that have joints,such as walking man. • Software like -Curious Lab’s Poser(3-D Program) -Lightwave and Maya • Morphing
- 12. Model animation or stop motion animation • alter the scene, shoot a frame, again alter the scene and shoot a frame and so on, to create the animation. • claymation, this is a type of stop-motion animation using figures made of clay or a similar malleable material
- 13. Example of Stop Animation.. Or Claymation
- 14. File Formats • It includes Director(.dir and .dcr) • AnimatorPro( .fli and .flc) • 3D Studio Max( .max) • SuperCard and Director(.pics) • CompuServe GIF89a(.gif) • Flash( .fla and .swf)
