VFX stands for Visual Effects. In the context of animation and filmmaking, visual effects refer to the processes by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live-action shot. VFX techniques are used to create environments, characters, and effects that would be impractical, dangerous, expensive, or simply impossible to capture with traditional filmmaking techniques alone.
2D animation refers to the creation of motion in a two-dimensional space. In this form of animation, characters, backgrounds, and other elements are created and manipulated within a flat, two-dimensional environment. Traditional 2D animation involves hand-drawing individual frames, which are then photographed or scanned and played in sequence to create the illusion of movement.
3D animation refers to the creation of motion in a three-dimensional space. Unlike 2D animation, which is confined to a flat, two-dimensional plane, 3D animation allows for the manipulation of objects and characters in a virtual three-dimensional environment. This type of animation is commonly used in films, television shows, video games, advertisements, and various other forms of media.
