3D Visualization
3D Visualization is the 3D computer graphics process of automatically converting 3D wire frame models into 2D images on a computer. 3D renders may include photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic rendering.
Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life. Several different, and often specialized, rendering methods are available. These range from non-realistic wireframe rendering, to more advanced techniques such as: Ray tracing (including reflections), or radiosity (complex light-bouncing calculations. Rendering may take from several seconds to hours, sometimes even days for one single image/ frame (=one single image in a sequence).
Animations for non-interactive media, such as feature films and video, on average are rendered much more slowly than stills. These frames are then displayed sequentially at a certain frame rate, typically 25, or 30 frames per second, to achieve the illusion of movement.
For the purpose of photo-realism, techniques have been developed to simulate naturally occurring effects, such as the interaction of light with various forms of matter. Examples of such techniques include Particle systems - which can simulate rain, smoke, or fire, Volumetric sampling - to simulate fog, dust and other spatial atmospheric effects), Caustics - to simulate light focusing by uneven light-refracting surfaces, such as the light ripples seen on the bottom of a swimming pool, and Subsurface scattering - to simulate light bending inside the volumes of solid objects such as fluids and human skin.

As one can derive from the included samples on this page, virtually anything is possible to visualize in a 3D scene: From concept to reality seems almost without effort. Don't be mistaking though, 3D modeling is a time-consuming process and it takes considerable effort to achieve a realistic result.
The results are well worth it though. From the obvious advantage of pre-visualization of non-existent objects to storytelling a certain procedure or process, 3D Visualization can be a powerful means to communicate a certain philosophy or idea.

3D Animation
Computer animation is essentially a digital successor to the stop motion techniques, but instead using 3D models, or traditional animation techniques using frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations or physical objects.
Computer-generated animations are more controllable than other more physically based processes, constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring 'extras' for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single graphic artist to produce such content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props. Instead 3D Characters can be integrated, duplicated and animated to create the illusion of interaction, communication & crowds.
To create the illusion of movement, an image is displayed on the computer monitor and repeatedly sequenced (replaced by a new image that is similar to it, but advanced slightly in time), usually at a frame rate of 24, 25 or 30 frames per second). This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved with television and motion pictures.
For 3D animations, 3D objects (models) are built on the computer monitor (3D modeling) and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton. For 2D figure animations, separate objects (illustrations) and separate transparent layers are used with or without that virtual skeleton. Then the limbs, eyes, mouth, clothes, etc. of the figure are moved by the animator using key frames. The differences in between appearance between key frames are automatically calculated by the computer in a process known as 'tweening' or 'morphing'. Finally, the animation is rendered out into a sequence.

3D Character
Skeletal animation is a technique in computer animation in which a character (or other articulated object) is represented in two parts: A surface representation used to draw the character (called skin or mesh) and a hierarchical set of interconnected bones (called the skeleton or rig) used to animate (pose and key frame) the mesh.
While this technique is often used to animate humans or more generally for organic modeling, it only serves to make the animation process more intuitive, and the same technique can be used to control the deformation of any object—such as a door, a spoon, a building, or a galaxy. When the animated object is more general than, for example, a humanoid character, the set of bones may not be hierarchical or interconnected, but it just represents a higher level description of the motion of the part of mesh or skin it is influencing.

3D Character creation and animation is probably the most challenging part of working with 3D software. Painstakingly creating details, configuring the digital skeleton to the 3D object are the main challenges here. Mimicking the creatures tiny & subtle gestures all aid onto the level of reality, or the perception thereof.
