About this ebook

What Is Computer Generated Imagery

The use of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in works of art, printed media, video games, simulators, computer animation, and visual effects in motion pictures, television programs, shorts, commercials, and videos is referred to as computer-generated imagery (also abbreviated as CGI). Although the word "CGI" is most generally used to refer to the 3-D computer graphics used for producing characters, scenes, and special effects in films and television, which is defined as "CGI animation," the pictures may be dynamic or static, and they may be two-dimensional (2D).
