Is the process of 2D and 3D animation the same?

Generally speaking, 3D animation is more difficult than 2D animation, because 3D animation needs "realism".

Of course, the production process is also different:

3D is 3D and 2D is 2 d. The differences are as follows:

two dimensions

Also known as 2D, planar graphics. The content of 2D graphics is only horizontal X axis and vertical Y axis. Traditional hand-made cartoons and illustrations belong to 2D category. Its three-dimensional sense, light and shadow are all artificially drawn and simulated.

Two-dimensional drawing software includes photoshop, CorelDraw and Painter. FLASH is a plane animation software.

three-dimensional

Also known as 3 d, the graphic content has a deep Z axis besides the horizontal X axis and vertical Y axis, so it is called 3D (XYZ). The difference between two-dimensional graphics is that three-dimensional graphics can contain 360-degree information and can be represented (modeled) from all angles.

Theoretically, the stereoscopic effect and scene effect of three-dimensional graphics are much better than that of two-dimensional graphics, because its stereoscopic effect and light and shadow are real (relatively speaking, because it is still illusory to our real world).
