Computer Generated Imagery

A computer generated image of a modern single-lens reflex camera used in photography, another key imaging technique.

The most widely recognised form of Computer-generated images are three dimensional (3D) animations seen in movies and commercials. This term can also apply to other forms of computer generated images such as modern Graphs, Engineering drawings, Information graphics, Diagrams and Graphic designs.

Technological advances and the productivity of computer aided design (CAD) and drawing techniques relative to more traditional forms of design like technical drawing has seen a steady increase in the use of these techniques over time and this trend looks set to continue.
