Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Cgi took a central role in Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991, t-100 was the teminator enermy, who had morphing effects and with liquid metal. This was like the abyss but these effects were very complicated, because morphing from phase to phase had to be lots of fframes of some sort. Terminator 2 won ILM an oscar for its effects.

Abyss

This is a screenshot the the Abyss, this is the use of cgi to create a realistic water face called Pseudopod.

As cgi established itself, it became photorealistic cgi, which is self explanatory, this played a key part in the academy award winning abyss, for visual effects. This was mainly for the water creature, that was in the film. It is very realistic, you couldnt really get any better in my opinion, and they have done a good job there, thats why they won a award.

Lord of the Rings

Cgi is used in other computer effects appart frm animation, and this is called digital grading. Its basically inhancing an image you have already, as if some of the image is too dark, you can inchance it to make it lighter, this was used in the lord of the rings film. There was many copmuter effects on this as you would know,. gollum, is a very realistic character, who had to go through many digital grading faces. I think the effects in thsi film are great and a high standard of cgi has been used, its a lot more realistic to say such films as toy story,and i appreiciate it a lot for that.

Final Fantasy : Spirits Within

There are other pruducers apart from pixar that did a lot of cgi wok, Square Pictures create the film Final Fantasy : Spirits Within, i think has some very good quality animationm it is like photograpahic quality graphics being used. This film didnt get that succesful, but in wise of graphics it looks great. After this Square pictures closed down.
