A 3D render is a two-dimensional image generated from a three-dimensional digital model, produced by software that calculates lighting, textures, and perspective: The architect showed us a 3D render of the proposed building.

The process itself is also called a render or rendering.

As a verb, to render means to generate such an image: It took twelve hours to render the final scene.
