2. Animation
Animation is the rapid display of a
sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D
artwork or model positions in order to
create an illusion of movement. The
effect is an optical illusion of motion due
to the phenomenon of persistence of
vision, and can be created and
demonstrated in several ways. The most
common method of presenting animation
is as a motion picture or video program.
3. Discovery of Name
"Animation" discovered from the
Latin name anima, the "animating
principle", the vital force inside
every living creature.

2D vector graphics. This includes automated computerized
versions of traditional animation techniques such as morphing.
2D animation has many applications, including analog
computer animation, Flash animation and PowerPoint
animation.
9. 3D animation
3D animation is digitally modeled and manipulated by an
animator. In order to manipulate a mesh, it is given a digital
skeletal structure that can be used to control the mesh. This
process is called rigging. Various other techniques can be
applied, such as mathematical functions (ex. gravity, particle
simulations), simulated fur or hair, effects such as fire and
water and the use of motion capture to name but a few, these
techniques fall under the category of 3D dynamics.
