CGI
What is CGI and how is it utilized in motion graphics?
GLOSSARY
Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) encompasses a wide range of digital artwork, from 3D models and animations to visual effects integrated into live-action footage. In motion graphics, CGI is pivotal for creating complex scenes and elements that would be impossible, impractical, or too costly to film in the real world, offering endless creative possibilities.
CGI can bring fantastical creatures to life in an animated film, render intricate futuristic cityscapes, or simulate dynamic natural phenomena like storms and ocean waves, enhancing storytelling through visually striking content.
CGI is brilliantly utilized in Videobolt templates like 3D Action Screens and Diamond Reveal to create high-impact visual presentations. In 3D Action Screens, CGI transforms standard media presentations into a dynamic 3D experience, where a large video wall serves as a versatile backdrop. This allows users to impress their audience with a visually rich, action-packed showcase that appears seamlessly integrated and professional. Diamond Reveal leverages CGI to render a highly realistic 3D diamond that dramatically shatters to reveal a brand’s logo. This template uses CGI techniques to simulate the textures and light reflections of a real diamond, enhancing the visual impact and luxury feel of the logo reveal.
