Using A 3D technique is becoming more and more popular and becoming more of a higher expectation especially within movies. For instance In the past/Olden days everyone was satisfied with a regular 2D film whilst now in the more modern ages there is more of a higher expectation of a 3D and high quality film. Here is a few examples of how 3D has been Applied over the decades and how what impact it has made on video games, Films, TV programs,education, web, medicine, mathematics, engineering, architecture and product design .
Video Games
Monster Maze - 1981The ever First Video game which Involved using 3D is monster maze. Monster Maze was the first game programmed by Malcolm Evans based on a design by J.K.Greye. The third generation of consoles, which were 8-bit units, emerged from 1983 to 1995. Overwatch - 2016
Overwatch puts players into two teams of six, with each player selecting one of several pre-defined hero characters with unique movement, attributes, and skills; these heroes are divided into four classes: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Character animations were created by Blizzard's David Gibson. To help give more personality to the 3D-rendered animation, Gibson applied traditional methods used in 2D limited animation, such as smear animation, instead of relying on motion blur effects, creating more exaggerated animations that support the feel of the game.
TV
Reboot-1994
Reboot's 3D animation tests began in 1990 and ReBoot achieved its detailed look by 1991. Production continued on future episodes and the show aired in 1994 after enough episodes had been produced. This was a painstaking process, as no other company had at this time worked on a 3D animation project of this scale and the software used was new to all in the company.
Jimmy Neutron-2002
Jimmy Neutron is a 3D animation of an eight year-old boy genius. principally Newtek's LightWave 3D and project:messiah 1.5, a 3D program from pmG Worldwide LLC. RenderBOXX machines from BOXX Technologies were used for rendering. 3D is actually easier to make it more realistic than it is cartoony. In 2D you can cheat all over the place by drawing things, you can draw it and there it is. But in 3D, you really are limited by the physical nature of the characters. You can cheat some, but not nearly to the extent you can in 2D.
Film
The power of love-1922
The earliest confirmed 3D film shown to an out-of-house audience was The Power of Love, which premiered at the Ambassador Hotel Theater in Los Angeles on 27 September 1922.In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Almost from the beginning, studios and filmmakers were searching for ways to display their movies in three dimensions. The dominant technology to arise in this era was stereoscopic 3D. This was the first 3D film to make use of anaglyph glasses. These glasses use lenses of opposite colors. When combined with a pair of corresponding film strips, viewers achieve the 3D effect.
Captain America: Civial War- 2016 Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Captain America, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures although Civil War was not shot specifically for 3D but was converted in to 3d whilst in the post-production. Selling over £7 billion worldwide
programs
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modelling is developing any three-dimensional surface of an object. For example I have personally used programmes such as Unity and blender to create 3D shapes, assets and a basic game. Here is some example of games which have used programs such as unity to help develop there video game; Temple run, Rust, Waste land, Escape plan and so much more.
Education
Preparing students for their future careers and teaching them valuable skills are not the only important aspects of implementing 3D printing in educational programs .Using 3D in Education has a lot of benefits for instance it keeps the children more intrested and focused as well as simulating more interactions with hand on learning. 3D can be used in education by using 3D printers which will teach Kids to learn to solve problems through physical prototyping in an early stage of their development. 'The 3D experience allows students to enhance their understanding of complex issues by learning through observation and investigation rather than by instruction. This is a unique method of teaching that allows environments and images to be observed in full 3D detail from every angle.'
medicine
3D has basically changed medicine and health care completely around. Using 3D printing has saved millions of lives simply because it has several benefits such as being able to create tissue just by using blood vessels, Allowing doctors to get Low–Cost Prosthetic Parts and so much more. Even one doctor made a ear cartilage just by showing the 3D printer a few pictures.
Engineering
3D is used because modern computer techniques can be used to save car restorers, enthusiasts and manufacturers considerable time, money and aggravation whilst improving the quality of the final product. The equipment is fully portable and can run independently of any external power source for up to 7 hours. 3D printers allow you to create prototypes, models and products out of materials such as plastics and metals. The printers do this by creating layer upon layer of your design in your chosen material until the final product is formed. 3D printing allows companies and individuals to rapidly prototype ideas for new parts or products and also promises to cut down costs on the creation of products through savings in supply-chains, product waste and storage. This is a massive advantage to help engineering because it is a lot more time and less cost consuming than it would be having to order and fix a new part, They can scan in images etc and a new model for the car will be ready to use within no time.
architecture
3D has massively changed how architectures show of their ideas for instance a
most 3D software applications are now designed to be an platform which can draw 2D drafts, create 3D models and animate them to actually give observers a realistic view of how a project would function. This is a lot less time consuming simply because this means that architectures dont have to sketch, Build and then present and explain their idea as much as they did do in the past. Instead they can create the building and present. So basically 3D modelling did not only change the way they represent diagrams, building plans and drafts but also had a substantial effect on how presentations and exhibitions of architectural designs could be done.
product design
The product design process has experienced huge leaps in evolution over the last few years with the rise and adoption of 3D printing. New consumer-friendly 3D printers can produce dimensional objects and print upwards with a plastic like substance opposed to traditional printers that spread ink across a page.

3D Printing
3D printing allows ideas to develop a lot quicker than ever before for instance 3D pritning allows the concept to be devolped the same day which obviously helps saves a lot of money because their isnt much tools needed. There are a lot of benefits whilst using 3D printing to its full advantage.
Benefits of using 3D printing includes;
- Time to Market - Its much faster
- Save Money - Doesn't use as much tools
- Mitigate Risk- It is far cheaper to 3D print a test prototype then to redesign or alter an existing mold.
- Clear Communication- A conceptual picture of the product is better than the description
- Feedback- Getting buyers response to the product before it actually goes into production is a valuable way to verify the product has market potential.
- Get the Feel- You can hold and Feel A 3D product
- Personalize It- can personalize, customize and tweak a part
- Build your Imagination- You can 3D print anything, the results are limitless.
