Important: The information in this document is obsolete and should not be used for new development.

QuickDraw3D is a graphics library for defining three-dimensional (3D) models, applying colors and other attributes to parts of the models, and creating images of those models. You can use these capabilities to develop a wide range of applications, including interactive three-dimensional modeling, simulation and animation, data visualization, computer-aided drafting and design, games, and many others .

Important: The QuickDraw 3D API is not part of Mac OS X or Carbon. If you are writing 3D applications, you should use OpenGL.

For information about QuickDraw 3D, see 3D Graphics Programming with QuickDraw 3D 1.5.4.
