![]() If the shot involves any real photography, it would need to be shot. It includes all of the design work for the character (which is usually done mostly or entirely by hand, by a concept artist). ![]() The steps are, in roughly this order (it's a bit flexible, but this is a convenient order often followed), with classical art equivelants, where possible:ĭesign/Photography/Setup: This isn't really a step so much as just all of the work that needs to be done before the CG work can start. This writeup is a summary of the process of creating a 3D character (or creature) from scratch, as an element in a motion picture. People had to, quite painstakingly, design, make, and then animate the dinosaurs in that movie. Nobody typed in 'dinosaur' into a computer and had it generate a T-rex for Jurassic Park. This attitude is completely wrong, and it sells a lot of artisitic work really short. Another movie reviewer complained that The Hulk didn't look good because it was programmed by a bunch of nerds in a basement somewhere. These days you can do anything just by throwing enough computers at it". Someone on Slashdot made a comment something like "Computers took the magic out of special effects. It seems to suggest that images made with a computer are "programmed", or magically generated somehow. In any case, using it to describe 3d Animation/Visual effects sells an art form quite short. A Photoshop painting, or even a picture taken by a digital camera could be considered a "Computer Generated Image", but most people use it to refer to on screen visual effects. ![]() CGI can include any image "generated" by a computer at all, including a crappy MS Paint illustration. CGI is, however, a much bigger category than that, and the term is somewhat misleading. Most people, when referring to CGI, really mean 3D elements and special effects in film or TV. However the potential of CGI is what gets us truly excited seeing products come to life before our eyes is the joy of the job.CGI stands for Computer Generated Images (or imagery). Or even showcasing your product online and creating excitement in the lead up to the launch months before making a single piece! Or trialling a piece with multiple timbers, finishes and handles with ease.Īt Symmetry we believe that the time and money saved are a huge advantage to our clients and we are always working to make our process even more efficient. Imagine being able to show photographs to clients of products that don’t even exist yet, getting their feedback before you advance into further development. ![]() This can save you time and money however it also offers a huge amount of potential… In both of the previous sections (Time and Money) this feature has come up because Symmetry’s photorealistic imagery can be entirely made on the computer you don’t have to wait on prototypes or set construction. The use of CAD (computer aided design) rather than a physical product is also crucial here you can be developing your marketing imagery as soon as the product designs are finalised instead of waiting on prototypes from the factory. Similarly to every modern industry, the pace in the furniture world is picking up today’s industry demands we keep on top of trends and have imagery ready for each launch as increasingly customers are investigating products online before they even visit a shop floor.Īt Symmetry we can create stunning imagery in a fraction of the time of traditional photography the process of modelling, styling and rendering in itself can be far more concise than all the associated build up and development for photography. When you use Symmetry to support your business with CGI all you pay for is the imagery and a skilled designer to make them. There are also no studio hire, photographer or technician costs! You don’t have to build a set, purchase accessories or even construct the products (see ‘potential’ for even more advantages because of this). There are clear savings when using CGI compared to traditional photography. ![]() *We say ‘great’ CGI because -like photography, there are plenty of examples of CGI being used badly poorly designed sets, bad lighting or unbelievable views out of windows to name a few! At Symmetry you’re in safe hands take a look at our portfolio to see the vast range of beautiful imagery we’ve created for our clients. At Symmetry we believe there are three key advantages that elevate great* CGI above traditional photography: price, time and potential! ![]()
