Why 3d Animation?
3d animation is fine as long as it's good quality, but most of the stuff I've seen (Jimmy Neutron, Shrek, Finding Nemo, most MMORPGs) have bad 3d animation in my opinion. I thought the point of 3d animation was to make it look more realistic, but the examples I named make it look even more unreal and blocky than 2d animation. Most likely, the real reason animation companies switched from 2d to 3d was because they were too lazy to draw cells and too cheap to keep paying all the skilled artists they had before. Skilled artists are no longer needed for 3d animation, since it can be done on the computer, and anyone can learn to use a computer program. I think animation lost its beauty when they switched to 3d. Drawing takes talent; computer animation doesn't really. . . . I mean, you can train anyone to use a computer program, but drawing well takes real talent. Disney cartoons looked a lot better when they were doing the 2d stuff. It looked both prettier and more realistic. Final Fantasy has good 3d animation, but most of the other 3d stuff doesn't. Both games and cartoons were fine when they were 2d. MapleStory is a 2d game, but I think its graphics look better than any other 3d MMORPG I've seen yet.
Let's compare 2d to 3d, shall we?
