Computer Animation
DEFINITIONS
Computer Animation
. It is the process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics. The more general term computer generated imagery encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images. Modern computer animation usually uses 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_animation)
. Is a subset of both computer graphics and animation technologies. It is the creation of moving images (animation) using computer technology. Computer animation is broken down into two categories. Computer-generated animation where the animation is designed solely on the computer system using animation and 3D graphics software, and computer-assisted animation where traditional animations are computerized. (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/computer_animation.html)
. "The creation of moving images especially of cartoons or special effects with the aid of a computer, as for television or motion pictures. Moving images that are controlled by or viewed with the aid of a computer." (The new international Webster’s pocket computer dictionary.)
Use For : . Animated cartoons by computer . Animation, computer . Computer assisted film making
Related Terms: . Animation software . Cartoons . Computer graphics . Computer generated imagery. . Computer simulation . Entertainment industry, computers in the
