What you learned:
• JPG compression can help you keep your file sizes down.
• Due to the way computers (and graphics cards) process data, it’s often a good idea to use power of two images. A power of two image is one that has an aspect ratio of 1:1 or 2:1, where the sides are either a multiple of 2 or 8.
• 2D animations are imported as a PNG sequence that is then zipped into an archive. The files can get large, so try to keep your file dimensions and frame rates as low as possible (while maintaining fidelity.)
• If you use photoshop files that contain layers in Aero, it will automatically create an illustration with depth. Simply drag and drop the PSD file onto Aero’s 3d workspace, then adjust the layer spacing in the properties panel.
