BENEFITS OF 2D ANIMATION OVER 3D ANIMATION There
are different animation styles practised today.
The
rising demand for 3D Animation in media has raised questions as to which method of animation production is superior 2D or 3D.
Both
2D and 3D styles have created incredible and imaginative content consumed by millions around the world, and both methods have their pros and cons.
There If
is no ‘best animation style’ out there.
that were the case, then all the animation and video games look similar because production companies only use the ‘best style.’
ď‚ž But
with all the attention 3D animation receives in the Hollywood and video games, it might be a good idea to take a look at something that makes 2D animation so strong.
QUICKER AND CHEAPER It
takes longer to produce 3D animation than it does in 2D.
The
complexity of the artwork and production in the 3D animated piece is obvious when compared to traditional.
In
3D, artists and designers have to add more dimensions to their work to give the content a graphic and realistic feel.
Such
matters are not important in the flatter world of the 2D animation, saving animation production teams a great deal of effort and time.
Because
of the relative simplicity, 2D animation is also getting cheaper and more cost effective to produce.
Video
production is not as long and not as detailed as 3D, so fewer resources are required for creation.
FREEDOM IN THE ART With
3D animation, you have scenes far more bound to reality.
3D
appears lifelike even if characters are talking animals.
What
you have is something that mimics world rather than escapes it.
ď‚ž 2D
animation is different.
ď‚ž There
can be strange explosions or odd background effects, and we accept that all because of the style.
SIMPLICITY ď‚ž Simplicity,
not every animated video needs to look real, lifelike and incredibly complex.
ď‚ž Sometimes
the simplicity is what attracts the attention and success.
Example:
The point of an animated explainer video is to explain a concept shortly and simply.
While
more graphics and visuals might look interesting, 3D would divert the focus away from the actual message.
In
an explainer video, animation acts as an aid to what is being said.
ď‚ž With
3D animation, the depths and visuals can be stunning, but they can also be too much for certain projects.
ď‚ž Our
favourite mobile games, like Candy Crush Saga, certainly could have been produced in the 3D, but the point of the game is simplicity, even if games themselves can be frustrating.
ď‚ž 3D
animation is a amazing method of production, and it has given us remarkable content.
ď‚ž 2D,
however, can sometimes be overshadowed and ignored in favor of the 3D.
ď‚ž When
given a second look, 2D animation has shown itself to be just as good, if not better, than the other methods of production.
