3D environments

Rendered digital worlds

3D environments are digital spaces with height, width, and depth that users can navigate or view from multiple angles.

They appear in video games, architectural software, virtual reality, and film production.

Unlike flat images, 3D environments create the illusion of inhabitable space: The game's 3D environment let players explore the city freely.

Also called three-dimensional environments.
