graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data

AI overview

3D computer graphics are images created using a three-dimensional representation of geometric data, allowing computers to display objects and scenes with depth and realistic perspective. This technology matters because it enables everything from movie special effects and video games to architectural visualization and medical imaging, making it possible to represent and interact with complex three-dimensional information on screens.

A virtual 3D scene rendered by a computer 3D render of people

3D computer graphics, sometimes called 3D computer-generated imagery (3D-CGI), refers to computer graphics that use a three-dimensional (3D) representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images. The resulting images may be stored for viewing later (possibly as an animation) or displayed in real time.
