Abstract :
The author describes some of the computer graphics techniques used in generating realistic imagery and integrating it into live action photography. The process of generating computer graphics images is often categorized into four general areas: modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing. These areas are discussed separately, and specific applications used in recent films are examined.<>
