    2D Life in a 3D World

Description:


    This video illustrates an animation process that allows efficient registration of traditional 2D animated characters within 3D computer- generated worlds. Rather than compositing 2D animation on top of 3D backgrounds and overlays, the characters are registered in 3D-space, truly integrating 2D and 3D animation.
