Very sorry not to have answered sooner....Hi Sharon! Very sorry not to have answered sooner. Well, the difference used to be easy to define but becomes more difficult all the time due, as I have pointed out, to a blurring of the dividing lines. I will define 3D as being something that exists in front of the camera as a solid, capable of being rotated and viewed from any angle. This includes not only the virtual 3D of todays high-tech production, where the "solids" are defined mathematically and cannot be touched, but also the much older forms like the puppet animation of George Pal or the clay animation of Will Vinton or Gumby. 3D in this sense has no relation to the 3D visual process where an image may seem to leap out at you from the screen.<br /><br />2D includes animation comprised of drawings or flat images that may be created on paper or in the computer and which are intended to be viewed only from the front, as you view a page in a book, such as my own work and that of, for example, old Bugs Bunny cartoons, the work of Norman McLaren, and earlier Disney work like The Lion King.<br /><br />I hope this makes the distinction clear for you.Jim Bradrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497180922922976943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267701062003803614.post-57434205357384581532015-04-27T23:59:14.803-07:002015-04-27T23:59:14.803-07:00It was great post.
