CGI was first used in films in the early 1970s but it was not until 1993 that it finally proved just how important a role it could play with its contribution to ‘Jurassic Park’, in which CGI dinosaurs and live action scenes were seamlessly edited together.
Now, CGI, Compositing and Visual Effects (VFX) are an integral part of the film-making process and more and more of what we see on film and TV has been digitally altered in some way, to enhance the original camera image.
These alterations range from making basic corrections - perhaps the improvement of colour or the removal of the odd boom microphone which has found itself in shot - to more sophisticated changes, like the origination of 3D characters and objects and the design of motion graphics.
CGI skills are also needed for creating websites, animated cartoons, TV title sequences, games and 3D modelling.
Even so, very few people are working purely in CGI, most are using their computer manipulation skills as part of a broader job description.
CGI is used for visual effects because computer generated effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single artist to produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.
3D computer graphics software is used to make computer-generated imagery for movies, etc. Recent availability of CGI software and increased computer speeds have allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers. This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary.
Simulators, particularly flight simulators, and simulation generally, make extensive use of CGI techniques for representing the Outside World.
Here we are going to introduce us with some tutorials (2D , 3D and Creative Editing, and those are commonly used in the Professional field.
