CGI graphics, short for Computer-Generated Imagery graphics, refer to the creation of visual content using computer software and hardware to generate images, animations, or visual effects. CGI graphics encompass a wide range of techniques and tools to produce realistic or stylized digital visuals that may be difficult or impossible to create using traditional methods. They consist of high-quality images or videos generated using three-dimensional graphics.
CGI requires extensive study and is commonly used in fine art, printing, and special effects. It is extensively utilized in industries such as film, television, advertising, video games, architecture, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and simulation to enhance visual storytelling, create immersive experiences, and simulate environments or objects that may not exist in reality. CGI graphics enable artists and designers to manipulate and control elements like lighting, textures, and motion to achieve desired visual outcomes, adding depth and realism to digital content.
