You can use Adobe software or Blender to make this type of images or picture.

The most popular softwares are :-

Adobe Illustrator, Blender, Autodesk Maya, Cinema 4D etc.

These are the widely used software for making 3dimensional images.

Thankyou - might these help

Thank you for your answer, But I think the picture consists of a scientific data plot, It is very rare if a scientist uses software like Maya for these plots! It must be specialized software for these kinds of plots. Perhaps it is one of the Matlab data plot features.

You vould use Mathematica to plot datapoints and specify a function for the color of the plot depending of the height

Mostafa Shabani Mostafa, I agree with Knud Henriksen. Plus; as far as I know MAYA is quite capable of creating 3-D data visualizations. And to an extent, MatLab can plot data in 3-D. ---- Additionally; I recommend contacting the 13 people who collaborated to collect, analyze and choose an information graphic to represent a "giant upconversion by supercritical bound states in the continuum" in a 3-D illustration.

Shown below are 9, who are also, members of ResearchGate. Easily contacted by the "message" option on their profile pages. In addition, the article was published in "Nature". You can contact the editors for contact information. Or, write to the Italian National Research Council.

However, the choice of software is minor compared the the learning curve for creating any kind of visualization. I suggest reading about Information Graphics before deciding the picture they used is an intuitive and clear way to communicate what the data represents. -- Especially Edward Tufts (or other authors) principles of graphic presentations.
