Three-dimensional art is art that occupies a three-dimensional space and has physical properties and dimensions such as height, depth, and width. Traditionally, 3D art takes the form of physical structures such as sculptures, statues, monuments, and even buildings. Over time, 3D art has evolved, like many art forms, to become increasingly digital, taking advantage of the immense power of computing. Digital 3D art has quickly become a highly valued source of visualization and entertainment, changing the medium as a whole to become much more technical and arguably accessible.

As technology evolved, so did 3D art. For a long time, CGI was limited by the technology available as the computing power offered couldn't match or even keep up with the creative minds behind what's being designed. Over time, however, the issue seemingly resolved itself as with modern technology, CGI is no longer limited by the processing power of modern computing. This, in part, is thanks to the innovative minds behind modern day technology as well as the engineers and IT professionals who all played a part in implementing and maintaining these systems.
