The main thing that distinguishes between 2D and 3D animation lies in the quality of the resulting display, namely the appearance of 2D animation that seems flat and the appearance of 3D animation that seems more volume. This study aims to manually apply 2D visual effects as an alternative in making an animated visual effect. The process of uniting a 3D animation combined with 2D animation visual effects that are created manually frame by frame and using Clip Paint Studio and Blender software. The results of this study indicate that the application of 2D animation visual effects in 3D animation is able to display a visual style that resembles 2D animation and does not require computer engine performance that is too heavy, rather than using 3D simulation methods or 3D procedural which requires strong computer resources. It is good to use in making a 3D animation with a visual style of 2D animation.

Incremental rotary encoder is a sensor that can be used to measure the degree of rotation in ship steering simulations. To create a ship steering simulation, Visual Basic software was used to simulate the movement of the rudder and ship. Meanwhile, to obtain incremental rotary encoder reading data, serial communication is used via Universal Serial Bus (USB) media bridged by Arduino which is programmed to convert incremental sensor signals into ASCII signals with a bolt rate of 9600 bps. The aim of this research is to test the accuracy level of the incremental rotary encoder sensor in ship steering simulations using Visual Basic software on commercial ships by using the Solas rule that a ship's rudder must comply when rotated from the midship position to the 35 degree port side position followed by the 35 degree position. starboard side and returning to midship, the rudder movement time was less than 28 seconds. Test results in terms of response speed of the incremental rotary encoder sensor are very good, while in terms of accuracy level for one degree of steering rotation, the result is 4.571 on the Arduino IDE serial monitor reading..

The hydrogen economy is a shift in the use of fossil energy to energy derived from hydrogen. Currently, Energy experts are trying to find fuel from new and renewable energy, especially in the transportation sector. This study seeks to determine the profile of energy consumption in the city of Semarang, especially in the transportation sector with simulation calculations in a certain year. By knowing the profile of energy consumption in the transportation sector in the city of Semarang, the output of this research is a planning study to build hydrogen economic infrastructure and make possible steps. At the end of this paper, it will be known how big the potential for hydrogen infrastructure development is so that later it can be a guide in determining the right policy in carrying out hydrogen infrastructure development in the city of Semarang. The design capacity of hydrogen production at PT. SAMATOR is 1000 m3/hour. Production breakdown per day : 550 m3/hour x 24hours = 13,200m3. If the production is maximized for 360 days per year, the total hydrogen production in Semarang is 4,752,000m3. In 2020, the demand for hydrogen in the city of Semarang = 1,955,780 m3. With this research data, it can be analyzed that hydrogen production in the city of Semarang can meet the needs of hydrogen for transportation in the city of Semarang.

Virtual laboratories can provide real learning experiences through computer-aided simulations and activities. Virtual laboratory is rapidly developing its use in science learning because it is proven to provide significant benefits to the process and results of science learning during the pandemic. The limitations of laboratory facilities in genetics learning at the unkhair Biology Education Study program have encouraged the development of virtual practicum strategies and their use in genetic learning with modified free inquiry strategies on the topic of the structure and function of genetic material and reproduction of genetic material. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of virtual laboratories based on student perceptions of the use of virtual laboratory applications and to describe and compare these perceptions with the use of laboratory reality and relevant previous research results. There are five aspects of perception surveyed, namely innovation, motivation, effectiveness, benefits, and presentation of practical procedures. This research method uses a quasi-experimental research design for the characteristics and effectiveness of using virtual laboratories and real laboratories in the Genetics course at the Biology Education Study Program, Khairun University, Ternate on the topic of DNA isolation, chromosomes and mitosis.
