Overview
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is in most cases the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to imagery in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation.[1] Computer generated imagery, or CGI for short can be dynamic or static, as well as 2d or 3d. The creation of CGI is done by Computer graphics software, such as Blender.
Summary
CGI was first used in the 1950s, but did not become popular or practical until much much later. The first full length film to use CGI was WestWorld, in 1973. As time went on, CGI became more and more prominent in theaters. Lots of cult classics use CGI, Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, and many others.
