context: For the first time in a full-length film, computer graphics were used in the Wild West World, which was released in 1973 [1]. In the second half of the 1970s, films appeared using elements of three-dimensional computer graphics, including World of the Future, Star Wars [2] and Alien [3]. In the 1980s, before the release of the second “Terminator”, Hollywood lost interest in computer effects, in particular, due to the more than modest box-office fees of the “Throne” (1982) [4], which was entirely based on the latest computer graphics [5].
question: When did you first start using computer graphics in cinema?
