Computer generated imagery (CGI) uses computers to generate animations and was initially used in films and television. CGI animation has evolved tremendously over the years from early examples like King Kong (1933) which used stop motion photography and built puppets, to King Kong (2005) which was entirely computer generated. Modern CGI allows for photorealistic characters and environments, simplified production timelines and costs, and greater creative flexibility. Current advancements include cel-shaded animation, motion capture, and crowd simulation. The future of CGI filmmaking includes continued improvements in software and rendering to further enhance realism and streamline the creative process.

2. INTROCUTION
Computer Generated Imager y (CGI) is using computer s to generate
animations. It was the use of 3D computer graphics in films and
televisions. It is a subset of the broad field of animation.

7. REVOLUTION
 Better way to animate creatures movement like „ kong‟ in 3D
sof tware instead of controlling the stif f and lifeless puppet
 Motion capture to expor t complicated choreograph data and apply
towards 3D character
 Introduction of Green screen
 No longer forced to built large, expensive sets and props

12. THE FUTURE
The future of CG Film and Animation
 With the rapid development of the per sonal computer, that has reduced the
rendering time significantly, and the images having become more realistic.
 Stereoscopi c 3D Film enhances the viewing of a CG film, from 3D
animation to stereoscopic Real -D and IMAX 3D presentation.
 Better 3D sof tware, editing sof tware, render engine to speed up the
workflow.
 More interactive and intuitive, 3d holographic type inter face ?

13. CONCLUSION
CG Film and Animation can be divided into two main directions,
photorealistic and non -photorealistic rendering. Photorealistic
computer animation can itself be divided into two subcategories,
real photorealism and stylized photorealism. None of them is
per fected yet, but progress continues. As long as there are films,
games, commercials, and architectural revisualization CGI is here
to stay.
