Animation is the process of rapidly displaying images to create the illusion of movement. Early animation devices like the zoetrope and praxinoscope were novelties for entertainment. Computer animation uses digital techniques like 2D bitmap and vector graphics to manipulate images. 3D animation adds depth by modeling objects with length, width and height that can be manipulated using rigging and other techniques. Popular software tools are used to create 2D and 3D animations for movies, TV and online content.

1. Animation
The word Animation is generated from word 'anime' which means life.
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. Many of the early inventions
designed to animate images were meant as novelties for private amusement of children or
small parties. Animation devices which fall into this category include the zoetrope, magic
lantern, praxinoscope, thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, and flip book zoetrope Flip Book

Computer animation encompasses a variety of techniques, the unifying
factor being that the animation is created digitally on a computer.
2D animation figures are created and/or edited on the computer using
2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D Vector graphics.
This includes automated computerized versions of traditional animation
techniques such as of tweening, morphing, onion skinning and
interpolated rotoscoping.
Digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator.

3. 3D-Animation
To manipulate a mesh, it is given a digital skeletal structure that can be used to
control the mesh. (rigging) Other techniques can be applied such as
mathematical functions, simulated fur or hair, fire/water effect and the use of
Motion Capture.
Many 3D animations are very believable and are commonly used as Visual
Effects for recent movies.
