FAQ About Future of CGi
How has the use of CGI evolved over the years?
The use of CGI (computer-generated imagery) has evolved significantly over the years, from its early beginnings in the 1960s and 1970s to the advanced technology used in modern films, television shows, and video games.
Here are some key milestones in the evolution of CGI:
Early experiments: The first experiments in CGI began in the 1960s and 1970s, with researchers exploring ways to create computer-generated graphics for scientific and engineering applications.
Star Wars and Tron: The use of CGI in film began to gain mainstream attention with the release of Star Wars (1977) and Tron (1982), which both used groundbreaking special effects to create vivid, computer-generated worlds and characters.
Jurassic Park and Terminator 2: The release of Jurassic Park (1993) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) marked a major turning point in the use of CGI in film, with both movies using advanced computer-generated effects to create realistic and immersive environments, characters, and creatures.
The Lord of the Rings and Avatar: In the early 2000s, films like The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003) and Avatar (2009) pushed the boundaries of CGI even further, using advanced motion capture and 3D rendering technology to create complex, realistic worlds and characters.
Video games and virtual reality: In recent years, advancements in CGI technology have enabled the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in gaming and other applications, providing users with fully immersive and interactive digital experiences.
