And there are sure some game engines that do that. But from my experience, 3d models are 2d sprites placed on the screen over the 2d render of the 3d world. It's really bizar. Also textured polygones are not 3d. They are transformed 2d. You notice this the most when you bent a big polygon from foreground to background. Usually the drawing on the polygon should get smaller and more clinched because it is more far away. That is not the case. The image gets only scaled on the x or y axis like a 2d image in paint. There is no perspective rendering on the texture. To lower that effect a polygon can be divided which is of course slower. Voxels on the other hand are real 3d. polygones are a hack. But thanks to the big graphics card companies we still work with the garbage called polygones, instead of the real thing called voxels (real 3d).

>> [_] Anon 3274635 >># well we can't talk about real 3D without 3D glasses now can we?
>> [_] Anon 3274636 >># depends, if you a programmer; I would consider polygones a hack and voxels the real deal. As a cinema snob I would consider 3d glasses a hack compared to a vr headset
