A bitmap graphic that is designed to be part of a larger scene is called a ____________ .

A _____________ is an individual picture or drawing in a sequence of slides that create animation.

The area where you draw your pictures is also known as a _______________ .

The creation of moving images through the use of computers. These images can be created in either a two or three-dimensional space, and can be applied to video games, movies special effects, cartooning, and many other applications.

The creation of moving pictures in a three-dimensional environment; objects can be rotated and moved like real objects.

Animation produced by arranging real objects, taking a picture of them, slightly repositioning them, then taking another picture of the, to create a sequence of consecutive images that create the illusion of motion. One of the most common forms of this is claymation.

Actors wear sensors that record their motions. This is then used to animate digital character models in 2D or 3D computer animation.

The process of using a motion capture system to puppet a 3D character live. It can be used for previsualization, so a director can preview an animation while the mocap actor is performing, or as a live feed so a real person or audience can communicate with the 3D character in front of them.

Refers to any artwork or animation created with computers. The term can apply to both 2D and 3D renderings.

The smallest visible unit of measurement on your screen - it is a tiny dot. Together, groups of these create recognizable images. They are also as the general measuring standards for screen sizes (i.e. 1024 x 768), image documents, videoes, etc.

A single still image in an animated sequence that occurs at an important point in the animation. They are defined throughout the animated sequence in order to define pivotal points of motion before the frames in between are drawn or created.

This refers to the frame-by-frame layout of all animation occurring over a specific period of time. All animation is arranged in linear order from beginning to end.

A line or movement defined by end-points: the distance between points A and B. These can be used to calculate animated motion mathematically instead of through the use of manual key frames, and they can also be used to define computer animated shapes.

Used to refer to the process of creating computer-generated images from a series of mathematical calculations defined by a user’s specifications. Settings for lighting, the various planes and dimensions of the objects created in the digital space, and environmental factors must all be taken into account to create the final image or video.

Allows users to interact with devices through graphical icons and visual indicators instead of a text-based interface, typed command labels or text navigation.
