-==Classification==
-===Modeling===
-{{Main|3D modeling software}}
-D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling applications or modelers.
-D modelers allow users to create and alter models via their 3D mesh.  Users can add, subtract, stretch and otherwise change the mesh to their desire.  Models can be viewed from a variety of angles, usually simultaneously.  Models can be rotated and the view can be zoomed in and out.
-D modelers can export their models to [[computer file|files]], which can then be imported into other applications as long as the [[metadata]] are compatible.  Many modelers allow [[importer (computing)|importers]] and [[exporter (computing)|exporters]] to be [[Plug-in (computing)|plugged-in]], so they can read and write data in the native formats of other applications.
-Most 3D modelers contain a number of related features, such as [[Ray tracing (graphics)|ray tracers]] and other rendering alternatives and [[texture mapping]] facilities.  Some also contain features that support or allow animation of models.  Some may be able to generate [[full-motion video]] of a series of rendered scenes (i.e. [[animation]]).
-===Rendering===
-{{Main|3D rendering}}
-Although 3D modeling and CAD software may perform [[3D rendering]] as well (e.g. [[Autodesk 3ds Max]] or [[Blender (software)|Blender]]), exclusive 3D rendering software also exists.
-===Computer-aided design===
-{{Main|Computer-aided design}}
-Computer aided design software may employ the same fundamental 3D modeling techniques that 3D modeling software use but their goal differs. They are used in [[computer-aided engineering]], [[computer-aided manufacturing]], [[Finite element analysis]], [[product lifecycle management]], [[3D printing]] and [[Computer-aided architectural design]].
-==Complementary tools==
-After producing video, studios then [[Film editing|edit]] or [[Compositing|composite]] the video using programs such as [[Adobe Premiere Pro]] or [[Final Cut Pro]] at the low end, or [[Autodesk Combustion]], [[Digital Fusion]], [[Shake (software)|Shake]] at the high-end. [[Match moving]] software is commonly used to match live video with computer-generated video, keeping the two in sync as the camera moves.
-Use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production is called [[machinima]].
