The 3rd person perspective can be sub-divided into "3rd person limited" and "3rd person omniscient". The former is basically 1st person with the pronouns changed. The audience knows only what the POV character knows and that includes their internal environment and thought processes. As the name suggests, 3rd person omniscient is where everything is known (including all characters' internal environments) to the story-teller.

If you're used to writing from a limited perspective, weaving in broader information can be a challenge, but your audience should pick it up fairly quickly, especially if you establish omniscience early. If you're worried about the smoothness of your transitions, try reading you work out loud. I find that's one of the best test for flow.
