Lec-7.1 Animation in Computer Graphics

Animation is the art of creating moving images using computers, involving a series of rapidly changed images to create the illusion of movement. There are various types of animation, including cel animation, computer animation, and kinematics, each with specific applications in education, entertainment, CAD, advertising, and presentations. Key functions in animation include morphing and tweening, which facilitate complex transformations and the generation of intermediate frames.

Types of Animation
Cel Animation –
A traditional form of animation used in the production of cartoons of
animated movies where each frame of the scene is drawn by hand.
A full-length feature film produced using cel animation would often
require a million or more drawings to complete.
Computer Animation –
It is subset of both computer graphics and animation technologies.
It is the creation of moving images (animation) using computer
technology.

Types of Animation
Kinematics –
It is the study of the movement and motion of structures that have
joints, such as walking man.
Such type of animation are usually used in the areas like mechanics,
etc.

Application of Animation
i. Education and Training: Animation is used in school, colleges and
training centers for education purpose. Flight simulators for aircraft
are also animation based.
ii. Entertainment: Animation methods are now commonly used in
making motion pictures, music videos and television shows, etc.
iii. Computer Aided Design (CAD): One of the best applications of
computer animation is Computer Aided Design and is generally
referred to as CAD. One of the earlier applications of CAD was
automobile designing. But now almost all types of designing are
done by using CAD application, and without animation, all these
work can't be possible.

Application of Animation
iv. Advertising: This is one of the significant applications of computer
animation. The most important advantage of an animated
advertisement is that it takes very less space and capture people
attention.
v. Presentation: Animated Presentation is the most effective way to
represent an idea. It is used to describe financial, statistical,
mathematical, scientific & economic data.

transform object shape from one form to another.
It is one of the most complicated transformations. This function is
commonly used in movies, cartoons, advertisement, and computer
games.
