Study Notes

Digital Animation Categories

The main categories of digital animation are 2D, 3D, and screen animations.

Path Animation

Also known as animasi laluan or path animation.
Involves setting a path for an object to follow, and then adjusting the object's specifications to create the desired animation effect.
Key characteristic: allows for precise control over an object's movement.

2D Animation

The process of adjusting object specifications to create the desired animation effect is called tweening.
Used software: Flash (also referred to as Adobe Animate).
Process of arranging images to display one by one in a set time frame to create the illusion of movement is called frame-by-frame animation.

3D Animation

Term used for 3-dimensional animations that have depth and appear more realistic than 2D animations.
Depth is achieved by creating the illusion of distance and perspective.
Software commonly used: 3ds Max.

Other Animation Types

Traditional animation is based on traditional hand-drawn or frame-by-frame animations.
Screen animation refers to the method of presenting a screen or object display.
