Animation courses are not any of the recent revelations like many of the other courses that have become popular. Animation designing has been around the creative industry for so long that people can hardly recall the first time it was used. The traditional animation has been using the technique of stop motion animation of objects using paper cuts, puppets and clay figures. This is the process which was used for creating most of the animation movies before 21st century. We have all grew up watching Warner Brothers produced and Hanna-Barbara created animations which were the part of traditional animation techniques. A series of pictures with slight changes in them were produced and moved frame by frame on a high frequency which has become the classic platform for modern computerised animations.
2D Animation: As the term suggests itself, the 2D animation technique is manipulated and constructed in a 2 dimensional area and utilises a plane surface to create the effects. This is generally done by creating motion effects on the edge joining two points.
3D Animation: This too is self explanatory, just the execution part is a bit more complicated than 2D. Here instead of manipulation of a graph between two points a polygon mesh has to be given the motion effects to present it as close as a living body. Everything is graphic as this done with use of bitmaps.
India has produced many such individuals which have made a name for themselves working in the various industries of the world in the field of animation. The top animation schools provide the level of technical education which is not easy to find anywhere globally.
