Basically, animation can be divided to several
categories such as :
2dimension animation (2D)
3dimension animation (3D)

2D Animation: Introduction
Two dimensional (2D) animation software adds
movement and action to static images.
These programs use either vector drawn or bitmapped
images as objects.
The motion of animation is perceived by the viewer from
a series of frames.
For the motion to appear smooth a minimum of 15
frames persecond (fps) is generally required.
There are two types of 2D animation, path and cel.

2D Animation: Introduction
2D animation includes ;
Path Animation
Cel Animation
Icon Animation
Screen Animation
Object Animation

2D Animation : Path Animation
Path Based animation is the simplest form of animation
and the easiest to learn.
It moves an object along a predetermined path on the
screen. The path could be a straight line or it could
include any number of curves.
Often the object does not change, although it might be
resized or reshaped.

2D Animation: Icon Animation
Also know asSprite animation
Involve changing icon to other icon when user press it.
This type of animation can create user attention with
movement such as blinking, shaking and ect.
11
2D Animation: Screen Animation
Also know as object transition animation.
Example: flying screen from one direction or screen
blured before changing to another screen/new
presentation
Example : MS PowerPoint Transition
12
2D Animation: Object Animation
Involve the process to change the object specification
to create animation effect.
Example changing specification that can create
animation effect:
Size
Color/Tint
Brightness
Lighting/Alpha

3 DIMENSION (3D) ANIMATION

3D Animation
Creating 3D animation is considerably more complex
than 2D animation.
3D object has depth to make the animation more
realistic.

Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality (VR) attempts to create an environment that surrounds
the user so that he or she becomes part of the experience.
The term Virtual Reality has been used to describe various types of
applications, some that are more experiential than others.

WARPING
Warping is a related special effect that allows you to
manipulate a single image.
For example, you could stretch a facial feature to
change a frown into a smile.
