    I kinda wonder about 3D video game characters. Are they actually 3D or are they 2D? Would they be the bits inside the computer (and thus the complete idea of the character), or the pixels on the screen (a 2D representation of the character)? If they had sentience, would they possibly be three dimensional beings trapped inside a two dimensional world?

      3D characters are created using 3D models but represented to us in 2D via the pixels on the screen.
