Computer Generated Imagery
Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is a technology used to create visual content, such as images, animations, or special effects, entirely through computer software. It is widely applied in film, television, video games, advertising, and virtual reality to produce realistic or stylized graphics that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods. CGI encompasses techniques like 3D modeling, rendering, and simulation to generate digital visuals.
Developers should learn CGI when working in industries like entertainment, gaming, or simulation, where creating high-quality visual content is essential. It is used for building immersive environments, character animations, and visual effects in movies and games, as well as for architectural visualization and product design. Mastery of CGI tools enables developers to contribute to projects requiring sophisticated graphics and interactive media.
