Render it!
Wikipedia defines 3D modeling as the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of object via specialized software.
The resulting product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering.
3D Modeling
3D models are used in a wide variety of fields displayed as 3D graphics. The medical industry uses detailed 3D models of organs. The science sector uses 3D models as highly detailed representations of chemical compounds. The architecture industry uses them to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes through Software Architectural Models.
The engineering community uses them as designs of new devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses.The video game industry (preceeded by the arcade industry of course) uses 3D models as assets for computer and video games. But the most visible example of the use of 3D models is in the TV and movie industries. They use 3D models as characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures as a result of rendering the 3d models to moving 2d images or video. This is called 3D rendering.
What I do
3D rendering is a creative process that is similar to photography or cinematography, because you are lighting and staging scenes and producing images.
Unlike regular photography the scenes being photographed are imaginary, and everything appearing in a 3D rendering needs to be created in the computer before it can be rendered.
