What is "real-time rendering" in 3D design?

Real-time rendering in 3D design is the process of instantly generating and displaying 3D visuals as users interact, prioritizing speed to provide immediate visual feedback. Unlike offline rendering, which focuses on high-quality details but requires longer processing time, real-time rendering balances quality and speed to ensure smooth updates during user interaction. It is widely used in dynamic scenarios such as video games, AR/VR applications, and interactive 3D simulations, where instant visual response is critical. For creating interactive 3D experiences, real-time rendering is a practical choice to maintain seamless user interaction and quick visual feedback.
