3-D
Not flat anymore
3-D means three-dimensional—having height, width, and depth rather than existing on a flat plane.
The term describes objects in physical space, visual effects that create the illusion of depth a 3-D movie, and computer modeling that renders objects as if they existed in space.
Also written 3D or three-D.
