The marriage of 2D and 3D computer animation
With the advent of three-dimensional graphics as the norm in contemporary video and computer games, the use of two-dimensional graphics has become something of a rarity. Using the recent Parappa The Rapper game on the Sony Playstation as inspiration, which combined two-dimensional characters with three-dimensional environments, I produced an animation which aimed to investigate and experiment with the juxtaposition of the 2D and 3D in games and animation.
An exploration of the union of 2D animation with a 3D animated environment
To firstly formulate a comparative analysis of existing production disciplines and to investigate the techniques and methods used in both 2D and 3D productions. I will then back up this investigation by using these techniques for the creation of my own animated.
