Animation Degrees - The Next Wave

Animation has become an interesting and specialized subject in the current information technology (IT) dominated economic activities. Animation essentially is the study of representing 2-dimensional (2D) or 3-dimensional (3D) artwork in a manner to create an optical illusion. It has widespread use in the creation of motion pictures, video programs, and computer animation. ‘Flash’ and ‘PowerPoint’ are courses in 2D animation, while ‘Morph target’, ‘Crowd simulation’, ‘Motion capture’, and ‘Non-photorealistic rendering’ are courses in 3D animation. Online Animation degrees are now being offered by many US universities and colleges.
