3D
On the Amiga, 3D graphics refer to three-dimensional computer graphics rendering performed primarily through software on the Motorola 680x0 CPU, as the custom chipset lacked dedicated 3D acceleration. Popular applications like Sculpt 3D, TurboSilver, Imagine, and LightWave 3D utilized the Amiga's multitasking capabilities and custom display modes to create broadcast-quality animations. Later PowerPC-based expansions and Warp3D-compatible graphics cards introduced hardware-accelerated 3D rendering to the platform.
