3D animation is a computer-generated animation that involves 3D models and specialised software. 3D models are created of environments, characters and objects and are then animated in 3D. Rendering software is then used to turn these wireframe meshes into stylised or photorealistic image sequences. Whereas 2D animation is largely restricted to the 2D dimensional space, with 3D animation you have complete freedom to view 3D models from any angle you desire.
