3D animation brings visuals to life

The third dimension of animation explores the perception of depth, and is the key differentiator between 2D and 3D. 3D animation is far more complicated than 2D but offers a more vivid and immersive experience for the viewer thanks to the use of perspective in the form of lighting, shadows, highlights, and movement. 3D animation is painstaking and time-consuming, but the end result can be amazing when done right. Since it is not possible to animate in 3D by hand due to its complex nature, 3D animation is a completely computerised process using dedicated software and hardware.

Some key differences between 2D and 3D

Making the decision between both mediums usually comes down to the target audience. It also depends on the intention of the video, and the story it is trying to tell. The timeline and budget are also deciding factors. 3D animation is popularly used as a medium for creators looking to tell stories in the form of short or feature-length films. 3D animation is also used primarily in games because of its immersive nature, along with AR and VR applications. 3D modelling, a part of the animation process, is also popularly used by product manufacturers, architects, and real estate agents.
