It's probably about the animation form of 3 to 2.

The definition of animation should be a moving picture, that is to say, shooting objects frame by frame and playing them continuously form a moving image technology, that is to say, animation in a broad sense should theoretically include movies in real life, but people do not classify them like this, but according to the different shooting objects. The common ones are probably 2D animation, 3D animation, freeze-frame animation and so on.

Usually, our understanding of 1 1 regional animation comes from 2D animation, that is, it does not involve camera movement, and all actions are represented by the picture itself. Before the development of computer art technology, the color of this animation was embodied by transparent plastic called celluloid, and the painted area was superimposed by professionals called photographers, and finally the animation was formed. Personally, I feel that this animation form has stronger action tension, more casual characterization, more acceptable painting style and easier division of labor. The original painter will draw the desired action from the characters drawn by people, and then the animator will make up the middle frame, add the work of the background painter, and then hand it over to the later stage for magic (post-processing), plus dubbing, and finally form a 2D animation work.

And 3D animation relies on computer calculus, starting with human design, modeling, tying bones, brushing weights, then doing actions, K frames, adjusting camera actions, light sources, scenes, rendering and a series of operations, and finally completing a qualified work.

1 1 There have been many interesting animations recently, such as the stage performance in the Legend of Zombie Land last season. Although the action part is still stiff, the painting style is still slightly difficult to adapt, and the other parts are sincere enough to be expected, this form may be more acceptable to the audience, the company and the author than Pixar's exaggerated gimmicks. After all, there are still three.

Speaking of 3 to 2, I have to mention an animation "Exploration, A Drama" that I appreciate very much. This is a magical work that is dubbed first and then animated. The software used is C4D (modeling) and MMD (three-dimensional animation software), which shows that simple pictures can provide good enough effects anywhere.

This issue only briefly introduces the status quo of 3-to-2, and does not involve specific technology. There may be corresponding updates in the future.
