What is CGI?
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of
computer graphics to create or contribute to images in
art, printed media, video games, films, television
programs, commercials, videos, and simulators.
What is it for?
The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-
dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most commonly used to
refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special
effects in films and television.
The term 'CGI animation'
refers to dynamic CGI
rendered as a movie. The
term virtual world refers
to agent-based,
interactive environments.
Computer graphics
software is used to make
computer-generated
imagery for films, etc.
What are the features of CGI?
CGI is used in films, television programs and
commercials, and in printed media. Video games
most often use real-time computer graphics (rarely
referred to as CGI), but may also include pre-
rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would
be typical CGI applications.
