Both 3D animation and Visual Effects (VFX) are integral components of the digital entertainment landscape, each contributing unique elements to enhance storytelling and visual impact.    3D animation focuses on creating lifelike characters, objects, and environments, while VFX involves seamlessly integrating computer-generated elements into live-action footage.    The choice between the two depends on the project's nature and requirements. Often, they complement each other, as many productions employ both 3D animation and VFX to create immersive visual experiences.
