CG history

CG technology has improved movie industry through CG characters, virtual simulations, and live-action composites.

Recently almost movies that is screened in the movie theater are somehow used CG techniques. There is not only complate CG animation movie like Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nimo, or shrek, but also live-action movies which is subsidiarily used CG techniques. Specifically latest that techniques are quite difficult to notice in the movie. I'll write about what has CG techneiqus effected movie industory until now through CG history.

How to be used CG techniques.
Do you know how to be used CG techniques in these movies. Like Toy Story or Shrek are used that all of workflow. Characters, cloth, items, cars, planes, buildings, tree, ocean, mountain, and so on. All of thengs are created on computer by CG designers. In the live-action movies might be also used these things as CG images depend on situation. However like Gollum in The Lord of The Rings was created complate CG character.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tried realistic human face by CG. Digital domain created main characters young and old face that is difficult to recognize CG or real. We could become to watch the non-existent real human by these techniques.

TRON was released in 1982. Even though TRON didn't capture the box office. The visual effects that was used in the movie was assessed by some people who have foresight. Incidentally TORN was remade as "TRON legacy" by Joseph Kosinski in 2010. Digital Domain had charge of the VFX. In fact all of Jeff Bridges face was depicted by computer graphics because they needed to express young Jeff Bridges in the movie. If these techniques improve more, we might be able to meet great people who made by CG in the screen. You can find evolution of CG techniques in this comparing movie.
