This is my go-to explanation when people ask what 3D animation is. 2D is easily explained as being one drawing after another, but it's hard to get people to conceptualize 3D animation. The next few comics will be about the rigging process and specific terms that come up related to that. The more comics I write about it, the more I realize I need to explain underlying concepts first.
