How is 3D used by the
interactive media and computer games industries?
Include and comment on
examples of work produced using the 3D modelling across a range of industries:
games, TV, film, education,
web, medicine, mathematics, engineering, architecture, product design etc.
Remember that you are
trying to comprehensively explain the theory and applications of 3D with
elucidated examples and consistently using subject terminology correctly.
3D in Gaming
The first ever 3D game that I played was Driver 1 for the PS1. For its time, this was an immense game and a top seller. The first application of 3D in games was implemented into a maze game known as 3D Monster Maze. This graphical view of this game was animated around 6FPS (frames per second) It was also composed of 8x8 Pixel black and white characters

In the fifth generation, the rise of fully 3D games began. Game designers decided to move traditional 2D games into the 3D zone e.g. Super Mario 64 for the N64 and Tomb Raider on the PS1. Later came the PS2 in which brought 3D to a new level. In addition, the graphics of video games with 3D was obviously more advanced and different. Lara croft tomb raider was a huge hit for playstation 2
Spyro the Dragon on the PlayStation and Nights into Dreams... on the Saturn, are prime examples of this trend. Their 3D environments were widely marketed and they steered the industry's focus away from side-scrolling and rail-style titles, as well as opening doors to more complex games and genres. Games like Golden Eye 007.
3D now in 2014 is bigger than ever as there has been new platforms released using very advanced 3D graphics in games such as the PS4 and
XBOX 1. The Nintendo 3D S is a fantastic example as this plays games with visual 3D effects in which you don't even need glasses for. The last game I played was Skate 3 and this uses 3D graphics. If games today did not have 3D; I believe video games would not be as popular as they are today
3D in Animation,TV
3D animation has been out since the 170's considering a lost tape was found after many years made by Ed Catmul. According to this video 3D animation was used in it as Ed was a true believer in 3D tech. One of the most famous 3D animations in which was released before the 1990's was Pixar's Tin Toy. Pixar's Tin Toy is an American computer animated short film released in 1988 ans was directed by John Lester. This lasts five minutes and really pressured the producers as it went into financial problems. However, they made a great product in which really boosted 3D animation. Film makers using 3D animation have made fantastic films through the years from Toy Story to Up e.c.t. Although 3D technology in normal TV such as programs has now been applied so that the viewer van see a 3D effect, 3D animation is still vastly used in films. 3D Animation is carried out by key-framing the camera, lights and objects within a scene. Character movement is created by using rigging or motion capture techniques.
The first revolutionary use of 3D imagery in a movie was inJurassic Park
Any film you see now uses 3D as in some occasions most films use 3D to create almost the whole film if not all of the film. Without 3D, 3D animation would not exist and some fantastic films such as Jurassic park and World War Z would not have been created or as good. World War Z is actually a brilliant example of 3D today as this portrays a variety of 3D being used e.g. they used 3D to create the zombies, the battles and the great special effects.
I believe in the future 3D will give even more to society and that even better films will be made using 3D. 3D featured rarely on television however until 1994 when a Canadian production company called Mainframe Entertainment based inVancouver
Spyro the Dragon on the PlayStation and Nights into Dreams... on the Saturn, are prime examples of this trend.

The use of realistic 3D technology within games is now seen as a standard element, as there has been many different developments added to video games such as photo realism. However, 3D will always be apart of video games as it gives us the 3D virtual look in which makes a game more dimensional and more realistic likewise photo realism.

3D In Education
3D in education has also grew vastly and helps many people. 3D is used to basically create educational tools and content for then people to learn. A great example of this is the Gaia 3D viewer.The Gaia 3D Viewer has been designed with the classroom in mind. The simple interface requires no training and teachers are able to start teaching lessons in 3D straight away. Different Viewer options offer a variety of capabilities allowing maximum coordination in the classroom. Gaia offers a variety of lessons covering all subjects from Biology to History and Geography. There are more Educational tools like this in which help people learn. 3D can also be used in science e.g. teachers can create sculptors of a human that are 3D to teach children about organs e.c.t. Creating sculptors is still very popular. However More technical 3D technology is being used such as the Gaia 3D Viewer.
3D In Architecture
3D in architecture is massively important as now more advanced buildings e.c.t. are being built as there is now huge increase in human life. This means the more people the more houses, flats need to be built. However 3D really helps architecture build as this gives them great guidance and understanding of what size the buildings will be, what materials will be used and more importantly what it will look like.
This also makes architectures develop buildings even quicker in which is better for society and sales. Also if there is a drastic mistake all you have to do is fix it via computer in which is miles easier than having to physically knock things down. Also 3D helps architectures all the more as you can even test the buildings abilities as there is a mode in which you test if the house e.c.t is stable and if not e.g. the roof falls off; it can be fixed before being actually physically built.
Also the great thing about 3D modelling is that architectures can actually create environments for the buildings to see where it would be most fitted e.g. an office building in the city. Through the process of creating an environment via through 3D, the environment may very well be physically designed to go along side the actual building e.g. a pub with a car park. Also architectures can find existing environments for there building to go with or in some cases they look for existing buildings and environments in which they can remove for new products. Most Architectures use the KIOSK multi touch as this way they can glide through environments a lot faster than actually physically travelling around and about.
3D In Engineering
3D is used frequently in engineering. This is because engineering needs to be 3D as more advanced tech is creating more advanced Engineering products. Many car companies use 3D engineering to produce cars. This way cars are built more secure and also faster. Not just cars are made by 3D engineering; Things such as warfare products like tanks and even fighter jets can also be tested or made using 3D engineering. Through 3D engineering vehicles e.c.t. seem to be built to a better standard and faster.
3D engineering has now come to a very high advanced standard as there is now a 3D printer in which can actually make food in which is edible. This is unbelievable as food can now be basically created through 3D engineering. The 3D printer in which is a classic piece of 3D engineering can create foods such as pizza's and burgers. One of the major advantages of a 3D printer when it comes to printing food is that it provides
personalized nutrition. In addition, if you can program your needs into a 3D printer, it can print exactly the nutrients that your body requires.
