In this animation making method, characters will be made by softwares like:  Photoshop, Illustrator and other 2D model design software Then, to give animation, keyframes and other desired effects are given with software such asAfter Effects, Adobe Animate, Premiere, etc.

Motion graphics is one of the subsets of 2D animations.

In fact, in this technic we have less character designs and modeling and have the most use for advertising teasers.

In this particular method, you use a series of pre-prepared objects and assets to give attractive effects and designs and motions.

(Motion graphics are used for education purpose, advertising and introducing productions)

3D animation is one other animation making style which is one of the most difficult methods of animation making method.

Because all the models and animation spaces should be designed in 3D with software such as 3d max, maya, blender and rendered with a suitable rendering engine.

In the next steps, we should go for rigging, professional lighting, materialization, animating and keyframing, and finally rendering.

In this technic, animators, Producers and directors are actually go through the process of making a real movie.

They will film real actors and actresses and according to the scenario, they are affected in such a way that they seem to be real actors of cartoon characters.

One other common ways of animation making styles, is stop motion, which is one of the special ways that has its special use.  

In this method, physical shapes, mechanical tools and puppet-dough characters are used for making animations. after that, manually or with the help of mechanical tools.

Frame by frame animation will be produced.

By putting all the frames together, an ultimate animation will be mad.

This style has a noticeable similarity to real animation or animation with camera which has been explained in the link below.

With no doubt, the hardest and the most complicated animation making style, is this one.

Simulation is one of the subsets of 3D Animation making styles.

This type, as its name, has no difference with reality and its more like a real movie.

Simulation animations are also the most expensive animation styles and have high tariffs.

The use of this style of animation is in the film industry, professional and advanced advertising, movie animations and making game trailers.

It is one of the special ways of making animation.

In this method, animation will be painted frame by frame.

This painting is usually with light pen.

Then these drawings are entered into software such as After Effects and special effects, camera animation, music and other editing materials are added on them.

In the past, many people used this style to make animations because of the lack of technology, but nowadays, this style is used in special animations.

This style of animation, which is the last style introduced by Manataz; One of the stop motion techniques is in which the main character or personage is a live actor and the animator makes separate frames of him by photographing different movements of the actor, and thus the moving images are displayed intermittently.

Dough animations, as their name implies, all characters, objects and animation environments are made using paste.
Except for the paste, any other material can be used and it is important that all the characters and models are made with tools and materials.

The animation of these characters and models is done in the same way as stop motion, and in fact, this type of animation can be considered one of the subgroups of stop motion.
