3D Images are
created using mathematical formulas that calculate light reacting with objects just like
in the real world. So using a modern 3D drawing program is more like sculpting and
photography rather than just drawing. A mesh or grid is manipulated into a 3d shape,
and a texture map (image) is wrapped around it. Lights get positioned, and a camera
determines the final image. Since everything in the scene is three dimensional, moving the
objects, lights or camera can produce amazing animations.
