A massive outpouring of computer-generated film graphics has since ensued with studios from across the entire spectrum participating in the action. From that point on, digital technology spread so rapidly that the movies using digital effects have become too numerous to list in entirety. In the Line of Fire, Death Becomes Her, and of course, Jurassic Park. Hardware is the brains and brawn of computer graphics, but it is powerless without the right software. It is the software that allows the modeler to build a computer graphic object, that helps the animator bring this object to life, and that, in the end, gives the image its final look.
Most studios use a combination of both, developing new software to meet new project needs.
Modeling Modeling is the first step in creating any 3D computer graphics. Its flexibility and potential are unmatched in any other art form. With computer graphics it is possible to build entire worlds and entire realities. Each can have its own laws, its own looks, and its own scale of time and space. This can lead to the misunderstanding that 3-D modeling is merely the production perspective drawings.
