Computer animation is the art of creating moving image via

the use of computer system. It is a subfield of computer
graphics and animation increasingly it is created by means
of 3D computer graphics instead of graphics. Are still widely
used for low bandwidth.
Some times the target of animation computer itself but
sometime target is another medium such as movie it is also
referred as CGI. To create the elusion of movement and
image is displayed or the computer screen then quickly
replaced by a new image that a similar to the previous image
shifted slightly.

Types of Animation: -

1) 2D Animation: -

2D Animation is used when seen and characters

are animated in a 2D environment. In the 20th century
animation was done by
taking photographs of drawing on paper and then place
them on transparent sheet called cells. This process was
introduced, when artist to create digital animation and then
use techniques to manipulate the image.

2) 3D Animation: -

3D Animation is the manipulation of 3D objects and virtual

environment with the use of computer programming. In the
technique animator 1st create a 3D polygon mess with

various to give it form. After making the object
and environment use a software to create seen that are
much more 2D animation.

3) Stop Motion: -

This technique involves setting and object or character. In a

specification pose against background and taking a picture the
involved elements are then slightly modify before taking
another frame this is similar to the traditional 2D animation.

4) Clay Animation: -

Clay animation is a form of stock motion that is popular an

enough to be seen as its own technique this involves the
same process but clay is used for almost all the character
object, and background.

5) Paint on glass Animation: -

This technique is used where but attractive requires the

manipulation of slow drawing oil paints on shot of glass to
create the elusion of motion. A Russian animator Aleksandr
Petrov as use this technique to create 7 films and all of them
being award winner.

Design of Animation: -

It is a sequence to develop different stages performed to any

actions these sequences follow.

1) Story Board layout: -

A outline of the action and defines the motion sequence as a

A outline of the action and defines the motion sequence as a
set of basic events that are to take place that means A layout
is a planning of whole animation project.

2) Object definition: -

An animation is a set of different objects participate in the

action. Object can be defined in terms of basic shapes and
figures.

3) Key Frame Specification: -

Delayed drawing of the seen at a certain time in

the animation sequence within a key frame each object in
position according to the time for that frame.

4) In-between frame: -

This is collection of intermediate frames the master key

frame. The total number of in-between frames is determined
by the display media. That is to be used for performing an
action.

Animation Language: -

Animation language is a group of structured

constructs that can be used to encode the information to
produce animation. The language can be script based in
which instructions are recorded for letter evaluation it
may graphical or non-graphical it may be written in a special
type of scripting Language or in a general-purpose
language that incorporates features of animation
production. Typically features include built in input or output

operations for graphical objects, data structure to represent
objects support the hierarchal composition objects, a
time variable, interpolation function, transformation etc.
