Three-dimensional rendering

depth computed from three-dimensional form, materials, and light

Visual traits

• depth computed from three-dimensional form
• materials
• and light

Expected changes

• The image more clearly shows depth computed from three-dimensional form, materials, and light

Definition

Three-dimensional rendering is a rendering method that specifies depth computed from three-dimensional form, materials, and light as one image-control axis. It does not determine subject, composition, era, or creator.

In more detail

The image is structured through depth computed from three-dimensional form, materials, and light. Adjacent material, medium, process, and finished-appearance elements remain independently combinable, and named works or brands are outside its scope.

Includes

• depth computed from three-dimensional form, materials, and light

Excludes

• A named creator, work, or brand
• Automatic choice of subject or composition

What this does not imply

• A particular subject, composition, or creator

Variability

Strength varies with accompanying medium, color, lighting, and detail directions.

Usage

• Add after the subject as an independent visual axis

Distinguish similar expressions

• Specify adjacent material, medium, process, or finished appearance separately when needed

Typical uses

• People, animals, or landscapes with three-dimensional rendering characteristics

Possible failure modes

• The label is treated decoratively without the defining visual traits
