Rendering is also used in many other industries such as advertising, retail, oil and gas, and manufacturing. The rendering workload is heavily used for special effects (VFX) in the Media and Entertainment industry. However, it's common to model and render multiple images, and then combine them in an animation. Sometimes single images are created from the scene files. Rendering applications such as Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Arnold, Chaos Group V-Ray, and Blender Cycles produce 2D images.

3D scene files are authored in applications such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, and Blender.

Rendering is the process of taking 3D models and converting them into 2D images.
