Such images may be for later display or for real-time viewing. Despite these differences 3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector graphics in the wire-frame model and 2D computer raster graphics in the final rendered display. In computer graphics software the distinction between 2D and 3D is occasionally blurred; 2D applications may use 3D techniques to achieve effects such as lighting and primarily 3D may use 2D rendering techniques. 3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Apart from the rendered graphic the model is contained within the graphical data file. However there are differences. A 3D model is the mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object . A model is not technically a graphic until it is visually displayed. Due to 3D printing 3D models are not confined to virtual space. A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations.
