What is CGI

CGI

CGI Have you ever looked at computer-generated images (CGI) and wondered how the characters are made? They look solid, as if you could pick them up. But you can't. Here are some of my characters.

Making models My name is Jon Stuart and I'm an artist. Here I am, working in my studio. I create my CGI models on a computer. I can do things on a computer that I can't do with pencils and paper.

My models start out looking like this . . . . . . and they can end up looking like this!

I'm making a model of a fish. First I make a block of cubes. Then I add more shapes to make the tail. These blocks will be the tail. The model is starting to look like a fish.

Next I add more cubes and shape them to make the mouth and fins. This is where the eye will be. fins mouth Now the computer adds more shapes to make the fish look smooth.
