No I don't mean 3D graphics or anything. A three dimensional character in a story. I've been really just writing alot of scripts and short stories lately. Anyways, I was reading the script for Smokin' Aces, and I remember seeing the comment from someone saying that the characters were all two dimensional- I had no idea what the hell they were talking about so I found some article talking about it. It's a four parter where I've only found two parts, but it's been helping me understand making characters believable and other s***... It may not help you, or it may- I don't know, thought I'd share it.

Often times characters can be symbols for individual emotions. If a character is having an internal conflict, the symbols used to externally show his feelings might be his father expressing anger, his mother expressing worry or guilt. Each is a external representation of a specific emotion he is feeling.
