In real-time 3D graphics, the diffuse inter-reflection component of global illumination is sometimes approximated by an " ambient " term in the lighting equation, which is also called " ambient lighting " or " ambient color " in 3D software packages.

Wolfenstein 3D spawned a prequel and a sequel, the prequel called Spear of Destiny, and the second, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, used the Id Tech 3 engine.

For 3D deconvolution, one typically provides a series of images derived from different focal planes ( called a Z-stack ) plus the knowledge of the PSF, which can be derived either experimentally or theoretically from knowing all contributing parameters of the microscope.

Nights into Dreams was introduced alongside an optional game controller, included with most copies of the game, called the Saturn 3D controller.

Another was a level called ' Wolf3D ', which was done by Joe as an exercise to see if he could replicate the level geography from Wolfenstein 3D in Rise of the Triad.
