Flics

A Flic (aka animation) is a process of creating moving images (movies) of a 3d model. It is also referred to as CGI (Computer Generated Imaging), especially when used in films.
To create the illusion of movement, images are displayed on the computer screen overlapping but shifted slightly identical to the process of movement achieved in television and motion pictures.
In 3D animation, all of the frames must be rendered after modeling is complete.
