Artists can render a 3D design from a 2D one with a 3D modeling program. After producing a 2D design, an artist will use the 3D modeling program’s tools to project the design into 3D space. This process involves additional design decisions because there are many ways to convert 2D to 3D and different ways to produce various effects. For example, a company logo projected onto a sphere (a basic 3D solid) will appear very differently than the same logo projected onto corrugated sheet metal. The potential advantage of a 3D design is increased visual interest, resulting from a depiction that more closely approximates human vision. Writer Bio
