Although 3D is nothing but a developed from of 2D or lets say...

Although 3D is nothing but a developed from of 2D or lets say traditional classical animation. There are many more differences as which cant be discussed in this small box but briefly its totally on the technological side like analog vs digital kind of a thing. read less

2D is hand drawn and 3D is CG (computer generated). Now a days 2D can be done using software like flash, toon boom. But I prefer classical 2d which is the best way to understand Animation.

First of all 2D & 3D are the way the picture is portraited. Both 2D and 3D also can be draw in the hand. If you do with animation and technology devices, the way of effect 3D will be more.

The most obvious difference between 2D and 3D is right in the name. The 2D means two dimensional and 3D means three dimensional. In other words, a 2D animation has flat images that lack depth and can only move vertically (y axis) or horizontally (x axis). In contrast, 3D animations add depth so squares...

The most obvious difference between 2D and 3D is right in the name. The 2D means two dimensional and 3D means three dimensional. In other words, a 2D animation has flat images that lack depth and can only move vertically (y axis) or horizontally (x axis). In contrast, 3D animations add depth so squares in 2D become cubes in 3D. The 3D animations also move in three directions, vertically (y axis), horizontally (x axis) and forward (closer to you) or backward (farther away from you), which is the z axis. read less
