<p>Computer-generated imagery (CGI) in films
has advanced to the point that it's often
difficult for viewers to figure out which
scenes have visual effects in them. Two CGI
effects that illustrate the state of the art
are facial animation and fluid dynamics.
</p>
<p>
Looking back at the past 30 years of movies reveals that visual effects have evolved over three distinct periods. The 1980s were the Golden Age of Practical Visual Effects. The decade started with The
Empire Strikes Back and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, films that showed what was possible with elaborate models,
puppets, and motion-control cameras, and ended with effects-driven blockbusters like Batman and Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade.</p>
<p>
The use of CGI rapidly increased during the past decade, which might be characterized as the Twilight of Traditional Effects. Recent movies from Lord of the Rings trilogy to Transformers offer dramatic examples of CGI dominance, but perhaps the most telling can be seen in changes like those at our visual-effects company, Digital Domain (<a href="http://www.digitaldomain.com/">www.digitaldomain.com</a>).
</p>
<h3>THE PERSUIT OF DETAIL</h3>
<p>
The main reason that CGI has supplanted models and motion control is its unlimited potential. It may not be easy or cheap, but anything that a writer or director imagines can be created with computer graphics.
