3D Animation is a computer generated illustration, that gives objects space. In 3D, the images and the graphics use three dimensions that give characters a depth, which makes them appear to be real and living. The graphic designers usually use computer software to give their pictures and images a life.

3D compositing is a process by which various elements, often including both live action film footage or photographs and virtual computer-generated images, are layered and composited together into a single image or scene. This type of compositing is often done to create still images that include various components into a single image, though it can also be used in the post-production process for film or television programs to composite different elements into a video sequence. 3D compositing often differs from two-dimensional or 2D compositing in the way in which the different layers can be made to interact and more realistically affect each other.

3D games are games which use polygonal graphics or 3D models rather than image files as their primary visual element; often they involve camera movement so that objects can be seen from any number of angles.

Applications designed to run on Apple iOS powered devices and provide a 3D effect of the content viewed.

3D Max (also known as 3D Studio Max) is a 3D computer graphic program developed by Autodesk for making 3D animations, 3D games and 3D Modeling. Used by game developers and architectural visualization studios, 3D Max has great modeling capabilities, a flexible plugin architecture and can be used on the Microsoft Windows platform.

A term used to describe software that runs on smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices and provide a 3D effect of the content.

A 3D modeler is a 3D computer graphics software application used to visually produce polygonal 3D models, or the title of a professional who uses the software to produce 3D models. The 3D model is most often described by a geometric mesh of triangles or other polygons located in 3D space, with other popular descriptive models including NURBS and subdivision surface models.

3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).

3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D images with 3D photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering on a computer.

A 3D scanner is a device that analyses a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and possibly its appearance. The collected data can then be used to construct digital three-dimensional models. 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create “point clouds” of data from the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape into the computer world as a digital 3-dimensional representation.

Digital sculpting, also known as Sculpt Modeling or 3D Sculpting, is the use of software that offers tools to push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance such as clay.

3D Technology stands for three-dimensional technology that is wiidely implemented in images, films, games, etc. It offers a wide array of possibilities in near future in almost every walk of life and especially in entertainment segment.

3D Touch is a innovative feature introduced by Apple in iPhone 6 series of smartphone. It adds a fundamental change to the way we will physically interact with the phone. 3D Touch adds what Apple calls Peek and Pop, as well as Quick Actions. When you apply pressure to the screen, it will sense it and allow you to access further options. You can also swipe upward and access more options while peeking.

3D Warehouse (formerly Google 3D Warehouse), an accompanying website for SketchUp, is a free cloud service that allows users to search, upload, download and share 3D models.

3ds Max formerly 3D Studio, then 3D Studio Max is a professional 3D computer graphics software that provides a comprehensive 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing solution for games, film, and motion graphics artists.

3PAR was a manufacturer of systems and software for data storage and information management. It produced computer data storage products, including hardware disk arrays and storage management software. Currently it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
