Define the term 'frame rate' in animation.

• Frame rate refers to the resolution of each frame in animation.

• Frame rate is the number of characters in an animation.

• Frame rate is the number of frames displayed per second in animation.

• Frame rate is the total duration of an animation.

What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation?

• 2D animation uses 3D models, while 3D animation is hand-drawn.

• 2D animation is more expensive than 3D animation.

• 3D animation is always faster to produce than 2D animation.

• 2D animation is flat and two-dimensional, while 3D animation is volumetric and three-dimensional.

Name one software commonly used for creating animations.

• Microsoft Paint

• Adobe Animate

• Blender

What does the term 'keyframe' refer to in animation?

• A keyframe is a term used for background music in animations.

• A keyframe is a frame that is always static.

• A keyframe is a frame that defines a specific point in an animation, marking significant changes in motion or properties.

• A keyframe is a type of animation software.

Explain the concept of 'onion skinning' in animation.

• Onion skinning is a technique used to create 3D models in animation.

• Onion skinning is a technique in animation that shows multiple frames at once to aid in creating smooth transitions.

• Onion skinning refers to the process of layering sound effects in animation.

• Onion skinning is a method for coloring frames in animation.

What is the purpose of storyboarding in the animation process?

Describe the process of character rigging in 3D animation.

• Character rigging is the process of creating a skeletal structure for a 3D model, binding the mesh to the skeleton, and setting up controls for animation.

• Character rigging refers to the process of creating 3D models from sketches.

• Character rigging is the process of rendering the final animation.

• Character rigging involves painting textures on the 3D model.
