CGI art
Computer-made visuals
CGI art is visual art created using computer-generated imagery—three-dimensional models rendered by software rather than drawn, painted, or photographed.
The term covers everything from photorealistic digital sculptures to stylized animated characters.
CGI dominates modern film effects, video games, and digital illustration: The movie's CGI art was indistinguishable from live action.
