This is the graphics area that is getting big with the development of IT and is leaking into all areas of every day life. In the past, it used to be a privilege of enthusiasts and a small community. Today it is available to a common user thanks to the simple 3D software programs. All you need is to grasp the basics and be up for learning new skills.

3D graphics is based on 3D models. They may take various shapes starting from geometric entities (cube, sphere) to complex technical models (aircraft, cars) or organic shapes (animals, human figures). The models are processed in a so called 3D scene to which various types of illumination are added and various types of material are applied to the models. The computer then calculates the final image from such a scene. The opportunity to go back and try another visual angle, illumination type or material type is maintained here. This feature determines 3D graphics for use in other areas where things need to be changed, proposed and tested.

Thanks to this variability and functional usage, 3D graphics found its way into many areas and is happily used in architecture, construction industry, film, and news service.

3D graphics can be found in areas where one would not expect it at all, for example, when verifying the trueness of witness statements at the police stations (visualization of visual angle).
