3D Reference

There is a difference between 2D and 3D animation with reference to the usage of tools to build 2D and 3D images, the effort involved, the cost encountered and the quality of the final product. 2D animation is a hands-on course of action and requires hand-drawing hundreds to thousands of individual frames. These are then transferred to clear plastic cels, hand-painted, and then filmed in a series over a painted background image. The amount of time, labor, and tools involved in this entire process can be incredible. In contrast, in case of 3D computer animation, the need for many of the additional tools required to create an animation is minimized and also the time and effort involved is cut down to a great extent.
