What is the difference between 2D and 3D animation? Which one is having better future prospects?

2 dimensional animations deals more with drawing and framing and is the base of 3D animation. 2D animators create frames to define a sequence that are then moved at varying speeds to create the illusion of motion.3D or three-dimensional animation has more depth and is more realistic The texture, lighting and color of the 3D objects are modified using software programs Film, advertising, video and gaming are the fast growing fields for 3D animation. As an animator, you may make use of techniques like- 2D hand drawing, 2D Computer generated, 3D Computer generated, stop motion or model animation techniques to create animation sequences. The method depends on the specialization that you have (through training and courses). These days, computers and various software are used to create works of animation (2D & 3D). This field is also known as CGI. We see works of animation in our day to day lives in various forms. CGI can be seen in action in movies, cartoons, animated movies, advertisements, TV shows, websites etc.

Comparison between 2D and 3D. 2D and 3D refer to the actual dimensions in a computer workspace. 2D is 'flat', using the horizontal and vertical (X and Y) dimensions, the image has only two dimensions and if turned to the side becomes a line. 3D adds the depth (Z) dimension. If you really want to excel in 3D, I suggest you should also learn 2D, it will really help.
