What are the advantages and disadvantages of 2D animation and 3D animation?

The characteristics of two-dimensional animation: the traditional two-dimensional animation is painted by the watercolor paint to celluloid, and then by the camera shot by shot records and coherent picture, the advent of the computer era, so that the two-dimensional animation can be sublimated, can be handmade beforehand the original animation frame by frame into the computer, by the computer to help complete the work of the drawing line coloring and the computer controlled by the completion of the record work.

The characteristics of three-dimensional animation:

1, can be from all aspects of the display of product features.

2, dynamic images can attract people's eyes.

3, modify, do not have to change all the points, can modify a certain part.

4, can realize the real life can not exist in the picture.

5, easy to use, can be reused, reduce costs.

The difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional animation:

(1) the production efficiency is different

Two-dimensional animation does not need to make models, drawing texture and set up material lighting, the preparation process Relatively less, but the subsequent production work needs to be completed manually. Therefore, two-dimensional animation production of animated short films is more efficient, the production of animated feature-length film cycle is longer. A high-quality two-dimensional animation movie production cycle is generally four years.

Three-dimensional animation needs to produce models, drawing mapping and setting material lighting, the preparation process is relatively more, but the animation generation and lens output by the computer according to manually set parameters automatically generated. Therefore, the production of animated feature films is more efficient and the cycle of producing animated feature films is shorter. The production cycle of a high-quality 3D animation movie is generally two years.

(2) different advantages

Two-dimensional animation due to frame-by-frame hand-drawn, so the production of collision, fabric, eating food, cutting, large-scale deformation and other animation effects have a greater advantage. If you use three-dimensional software to produce these effects, you need a computer to do a lot of calculations, and some of the features also need to be developed separately suitable plug-ins to produce.

Three-dimensional animation because the computer can automatically generate animation, so the production of perspective change effects, light and shadow changes, group animation, explosion effects, clouds, hair and other animation effects have a greater advantage. If the use of hand-drawn way to produce, it is difficult to produce a very smooth animation effect.

(3) the scene and the role of different ways to deal with

Two-dimensional hand-drawn animation production perspective change effect is difficult to apply to the scene, through the role of perspective changes to enrich the picture, so the scene is drawn in rich color levels, the role of the only dark and light two color levels. The three-dimensional animation, due to the use of computer technology, three-dimensional animation can automatically calculate the effect of perspective changes occur, so the scene and the role of the color level can be very rich.
