Animation can be divided into two main categories: computer-assisted animation which includes 2D and 2 1/2 D techniques like inbetweening and inking as well as managing data and virtual cameras, and computer generated animation which is 3D animation that uses low level techniques to precisely specify motion and high level techniques to describe general motion behavior.
