 Frame-By-Frame Animation | animation that has several frames placed together to show the illusion of movement. We created this in PPT! |
| Frame Rate | The quality of the animation depends on this. The higher the number the smoother the animation |
| Flip Book Animation | Each frame shows the same graphic with a tiny amount of position change to simulate motion |
| GIF | this file format supports frame-by-frame animation and is used to animated images in Flash. |
| Formulas | Movement in vector animation is defined by these. |
| Vector Animation | can be combined with frame-by-frame GIF animation to create professional effects even in small files; these are also known as Path Animation |
| Small File Size & Clean Graphics | these two characteristics make vector animation very popular on the Web |
| 3D Imagery | a movie/video game with images having three dimensional form or appearance |
| Virtual Reality | is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, whether that environment is a simulation of the real world or an imaginary world |
| Virtual Reality Interaction | occurs when the user moves around and manipulates simulated objects |
| Virtual Reality Programs | concentrate on high-quality graphics, often using 3D technology. Virtual Reality requires graphics with high frame rates for smooth motion, and high resolution for realistic detail. |
| Rollovers in Web Design | When the cursor is moved over a navigation button, it might appear to light up, change its shading to look as if it has been pressed, or display a different image. |
| A small program | A rollover is actually two or three images that are controlled by this |
| Morphing | the transformation of one thing into another; aka metamorphosis |
