Adv. Certification in Scientific Animation

INTRODUCTION

The 2D Media and Scientific Animation is the generation of illusive motion using two-dimensional models. It is often known as the traditional Animation and marks the basis for the principles of Animation. 2D Animation can be fully executed by hand or by the use of a 2D software. It is still widely used for films and Commercials in both Media World and the World of Science
