What is 3D Rendering?
3D modeling is the process of creating 3D objects using specialized software. The 3D object is made by manipulating simple shapes, complex models, and polygons using 3D modeling software. The representation, called a 3D model, conveys an object’s shape, size, and texture.
Once the model is created, 3D rendering transforms the model into a true-to-life image. When combined, 3D modeling and 3D rendering are two steps designers take to make computer-generated imagery (CGI).
3D modeling always comes before 3D rendering in the 3D visualization process.
