	Numerical results
		In contrast to the 2D simulations, the peak response is constant along sections where the valley bottom is flat, and varies only gradually as the valley depth changes, except near the edges.
		This ratio is obtained by dividing the amplitude of the Fourier transform of the synthetic accelerogram at F by twice the amplitude of the Fourier transform of the free-field accelerogram (Fig.
		The 2D spectra exhibit islands of strong response in the 3 to 5 Hz region.

		Operating this adjunct of the 2d Quartermaster Company is a small body of men, whose responsibility accounts for no errors and whose work evidences a macabre similarity to normal quartermaster methods of supply—only the GRS supply system works in reverse, from the front to the rear.
		The process for the journey of soldiers killed in the 2d US Infantry Division from point of death to final resting place in the United States is as follows: Responsibility of the Graves Registration Section for remains begins at the division collecting point, and no further forward.
		Personal effects are received at the Personal Effects Section in a box or boxes, and this box or boxes must be banded and sealed after the contents have been officially ascertained at the section in order that their will be no opportunity for any of the articles belonging to the soldier concerned to be lost.

	Animal Logic: Film - Farscape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Animal Logic also employed a smaller crew of 2D compositors to work on key sequences of the project that combined live action with 2D effects such as matte paintings.
		Their work can be seen in those where CG elements appear in live action plates and in the final sequence where lead character John Crichton sets off the wormhole and effects are added to the practical machine that he sits in.
		Animal Logic was awarded a prestigious AEAF Award for their visual effects work on Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars at the Awards ceremony in Sydney on December 5, 2004.

		Using Vertex Shaders to apply 2D deformation effects to a rendered 3D scene.
		A number of articles have been published recently about doing funky effects by rendering to an off screen texture map and then plastering the texture map onto a screen space quad and rendering the quad.
		B and C results in an effect that will not be able to touch the edges of the screen.

	Across the Great Divide: Making the Leap from 2D to 3D (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This document is simply intended as a set of practical suggestions for 2D animators who are considering making the leap to 3D in order to bolster their viability in the current job market.
		The challenge for 2D effects animators who wish to convert to 3D is a bit more formidable than the road faced by the character animators, and this has everything to do with the nature of 3D effects animation.
		On the non-Maya front, there is Houdini: a separate animation package which is particularly suitable to 3D effects work in terms of its procedural architecture, but seemingly at the expense of a coherent interface.

	2D Animation Effects - AWN Forums
		You know, things like like blurry move effect, or a glowing sword.
		You know, things that don't revolve around 3d composed effects.
		In the examples on the site I didn't really see anything that looked like a professional 2d animation you see on tv or the movies.(Not that 3D toon shading stuff) But really I'd give it more of a chance if the adding a simple keyframe was such a hassel.

	CMOS design near the limit of scaling
		To keep adverse 2D electrostatic effects on threshold voltage (i.e., short-channel effects) under control (discussed in more detail in Section 3), gate-oxide thickness is reduced nearly in proportion to channel length, as shown in Figure 1.
		Similarly, depletion effects occur in polysilicon in the form of a thin space-charge layer near the oxide interface which acts to reduce the gate capacitance and inversion-charge density for a given gate drive.
		One factor is that part of the capacitance loss comes from quantum-mechanical effect in the inversion layer, which is present regardless of the gate material [2].

		The realtime track matte effect lets you superimpose one clip onto another using an animated matte, sometimes called a traveling matte, to determine how the two clips are composited (keyed).
		This effect is enabled by right-clicking on an SD clip in an HD timeline and selecting "scale to frame size".
		The crystallize effect lets you choose from many different patterns to make your image or text appear as if it is made of crystals.

	Adding 3D effects to your 2D game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Buttons, checkboxes and other standard 2D UI details can all easily be replaced by 3D equivalents, but you could also do a whole new interface in 3D, working in ways that aren't possible with 2D.
		Depending on how far you go, the effects may not necessarily require to be created by calls to a 3D engine.
		Starting with 2D effects, we can, for example, use a LayerManager to cause transparent layers of clouds or smog to appear to drift in front of each other, thus simulating different distances and creating a sense of depth.

	Digital Web Magazine - Adobe After Effects 4.1
		Adobe® After Effects® is THE tool to use for video graphics, special effects, and 2D animation where digital video is concerned.
		Looping, time-remapping, downsampling, and some high-end effects are there for quick use, and will be helpful when assembling a project and introducing some effects appropriate to the project.
		These effects offer capabilities previously introduced by third party modules like KPT Final Effects, so it's nice to see that Adobe is focusing on making popular features like that standard to the production bundle.

	Cafeman's Necessary 2D Saturn Platformer games
		As time goes on, developers are getting better at solving these issues, but the 2D control method along with 2D graphics still has proven to be one of the most enjoyable videogames experiences for many of us.
		Sonic's top-caliber 2D gameplay is what made Sega a household word years ago, and although graphics have advanced far beyond 16-bit Genesis levels, Sonic Jam is a nice, playable must-have 2D game.
		The mood that is set by the 2D graphics & animation, music, story, and sound effects creates a unique experience, one that doesn't seem to copy or clone any other title.

		After the edit had been finished on @radical.media’s 35mm footage for the Microsoft Windows XPA spot "Soccer," the goal was to tell the rest of the story with graphics.
		The live-action edits were pre-timed and approved by McCann and Microsoft, which meant the effects had to conform precisely to the edits.
		Working from detailed storyboards, Richardson and his team of 2D artists and animators next got down to creating the graphic environment to surround the live action.

		Apple is planning to use Sun's software renderer instead of their Quartz renderer by default in Java SE 6, so these tips should be relevant for Macs as well.

		Yes, but it is more computer intensive to add these effects in a 3D scene, therefore chances are it will not be as productive or easy to change.
		You’re right, simple compositing and simple 2D effects would not alone be good reasons to spend the money on Combustion.
		True 3D effects can be applied to the 2D RPF files by taking advantage of the various channels embedded in the file as well.

		The only downside to this is that the author was only able to focus on a single algorithm for each effect, but he at least mentions some of the alternative approaches, as well as suggestions for improving the techniques he presents.
