Essay (An upgrade animation from 2-dimension into 3-dimension)


An upgrade animation from 2-dimension into 3-dimension
by : Siti Nur Qomariyah
In comparison with the former 2-dimensional animation film, today’s animation is more lifelike with 3-dimensional animation. 3-dimensional is an upgrade in animation technology that comes after 2-dimension. 3-dimension is the way of creating cartoon characters are almost as a physical object that is completely made on computer (Syahfitri. 2011). Different from 3-dimension, Hendrianto (2017) says that animation with 2-dimension is totally drawn and it is a traditional method. Therefore, 3-dimensional animation requires more complex shaping process that certainly produces more realistic characters and becomes more expensive than 2-dimensional animation.
3-dimension and 2-dimension have different shape. They both are created by different method. 3-dimensional animation has three measurements that could be seen from the length, height, and even from width that is well-known as a ‘solid’ shape (Sandi7. 2015). Lets  we compare with 2-dimensional animation that has a flat shape which only has length and height measurements[1]. In contrast, if we could see the object more realistic than a drawing on paper, it is 3-dimension. So, 3-dimension is represented in all three dimensions (height, width and depth) and looked almost similar with physical object.
In addition,  3-dimensional animation has its character appearance that is more realistic than 2-dimension. Due to 3-dimensional animation is totally created on computer, it will be easier to animate a 3-d scene because you will just simply moving and manipulating the object, camera and light (Acantor. 2017). 3-dimension  is supported by the concept of 3-dimension itself that has a shape, volume, and space. As a result it can be moved into three directions, right-left (X), up-down (Y), and front-back (Z)[2]. By knowing the pros of 3-dimensional animation concept  appearances,  we can sum up that those are the concepts to make 3-dimension is more realistic than 2-dimension.
            Other parts of 3-dimensional animation is that more expensive than 2-dimensional animation. Rendering 3-dimensional animation is faster than 2-dimensional animation that  can be reused without redraw a new frame (Hakase. 2014). The characters will be easier to be modeled. The animation will be looked more interesting using various effects, shadows and lighting. Of course, it will be more expensive than 2-dimension.
Animation is animation. Both 2-d and 3-d need skills to rise it on screen as realistic as possible. Animation is not the art of of creating image move, but creating image movement.[3] So, it should be the combination of art, technology, skill and creativity that get together and produce  an animation that is loved by everyone today. The upgrade animation from 2-dimension into 3-dimension of course will provide you easier  and more complete way of producing animation film.

The Drop D Tuning (Advantages and Disadvantages)

What is Drop D? Drop D is one of the secret techniques in tuning guitars that are usually used by metal or rock guitarists, by loosening string 6 in standard E tuning so that it becomes D-tone or lowered by 2 columns or 1 tone. As always, of course this type of tuning has advantages and disadvantages, here they are. Advantages -Easier when using basic keys5. Example: F5, G5, A5. -Easy to play power chords. Because usually it only involves strings number 4, 5 and 6 only. So, with one finger is enough to play the guitar with a drop D tuning. -More make the strings and neck guitar durable. Because the strings are loosened, the guitar neck is not too pulled by the strings. Disadvantages -It is difficult to use ordinary basic key locks other than basic keys5. Example: F, G, Em. But for those who are used to it, it might be easy. -It is difficult to reach a minor key because this function basically functions to power the power chord. That's how little explanation about Drop D tuning. Ac...
