Overview

The process of creating 3D computer graphics can be sequentially divided into three basic phases, 3D modeling which describes the process of forming the shape of an object, layout and animation which describes the motion and placement of objects within a scene, and 3D rendering which produces an image of an object to final post. 3-D animators work with computer sketches to create the images for animated commercials, television shows, movies, and computer games. 3-D images are often more realistic than 2-D animation, which involves hand-drawn pictures.
