Parenting is a process used in animation that creates a hierarchy of special objects invisible to the camera (like nulls, bones or skelegons), that allow visible parts of models to move in relation to each other. The "parent" is the controlling object; at least one aspect of the "child's" movement is dictated by the parent. A model can have multiple parents and children (there are no grandchildren), and objects can be both a parent in the hierarchy as well as a child.
For example, if you want to animate a human arm using bones (or skelegons), the humorous (upper arm bone) will be a parent with a pivot point set at the model's shoulder. Another bone, attached with a pivot point at the elbow, will be the "child" to the upper arm bone. When the upper arm moves, the child (elbow and lower arm) will follow. The child can also be positioned independently, as long as it stays within certain parameters (like a real elbow).
A wrist bone is then attached to the lower arm, and will be a child of the lower arm. When the shoulder moves, the lower arm moves in relation to the upper arm, and the wrist moves in relation to the lower arm.
The concept is more difficult to explain in words than to demonstrate in a tutorial. For more information, see the Lightwave parenting tutorial in Related Links.
3D TV work its like a normal tv but you dont wear 3D glasses thats all you need to know :)
I, Robot was the first game to use 3D polygon graphics. However, the first game to use 3D was 3D Monster Quest which did not use graphics, but rather text.

A 3D drawing is when you use shadows and a sense of depth to create space. making the drawing more convincing and ugly.just kidding more real i meant.
LightWave 3D 9.x Cartoon Character Modeling is great.
Lightwave 3D is three-dimensional modeling and animation software created by Newtek. It is considered a high-end graphics package, meaning the tools and software features are capable of creating complex models, animations, and still renders that can be used in print, television, movies, and games. According to Newtek, Lightwave 3D artists have won more Emmys than artists using any other 3d software package. Most 3D professionals use Lightwave, 3DS Max, Maya, or a combination of the three for production work.

You can use a 3d feature in computer by using a 3d accelerator.... 3D accelerator is just a software which would enhance the 3D quality of the graphics displayed in the game.... 3D accelerator processes the 3D graphics which the processor cannot fulfill to the cent percent... The processor cannot do so as the processor is also needed to run the back ground applications also...... You can also purchase 3D software such as Autodesk Maya, Lightwave 3D, ZBrush, etc.
If you're looking for 3D models, the top broker is TurboSquid, followed by The 3dStudio and 3d02. TurboSquid offers model conversion services and a money-back quality guarantee. You can also find some free models at Newtek (Lightwave), and on many other smaller sites, but the construction quality varies widely.
3D application could refer to that of a 3 dimensional game, or also a simulation or visual/graphical program (application) that serves a different purpose other than gaming, but it usually refers to the programs used to create 3D models and animations. Also 3D application could be in reference to the actual application (software) that CREATES 3 dimensional graphical representations. If so, these are programs such as 3D Studio Max, Maya 3D, or Lightwave.
In 3D animation programs such as Maya, 3ds Max, Lightwave 3D, or Softimage XSI. These programs are generally considered specialty software and are not available in brick-and-mortar stores. They can be purchased on the web through their company's website or 3rd party stores.
