Why is real-time 3D such a big deal?


Real-time 3D (RT3D) significantly enhances the way we render and access 3D models, environments and entire interactive worlds that allows users to interact with them as they are created more-or-less instantly and in context.

3D rendering involves converting 3D wireframe models into 2D images enhanced with photo-realistic, three-dimensional effects.

Pre-rendered images are created and presented statically and cannot be changed or customised. With real-time, environments that people can move through as they evolve around them can be created at high-speed and with the highest levels of photorealism, at a minimum of 24 fps – the minimum a human eye needs to perceive instant movement.

The primary benefits of RT3D technology

  • Immersivity: The digital representation created by RT3D rendering software is more lifelike, similar to exploring an authentic, offline environment.
  • Interactivity: Because images and experiences can be rendered in real-time, people are able to control their experience and interact with assets.
  • Experience: The experience of interacting with RT3D projects is more comfortable than waiting for pre-rendered images to load one by one.

RT3D produces much more attractive, immersive imagery, enhancing the quality of the media audiences consume and improving engagement. Elsewhere, applications include adding and integrating 3D images into a mapping application to offer augmented reality-enhanced real-time directions and allowing the environment you’re exploring in virtual reality, for example a virtual tour of a new apartment, to move in conjunction with your avatar or character, creating a much smoother experience.
