Computer generated imagery; it's basically a catch-all acronym for any 3D computer graphics. Hopefully I can get back to working on this.

It is what that poster above said.

Speaking of which me and my boyfriend have been watching a Science Fiction show called Babylon 5 from the 90's we've never seen it but its actually kind of good. That is if you can get past the horribly crappy CGI they use on that show, like it's pretty bad. And its horribly 90's at some points like in the intro they say 'the name of the place is Babylon 5'. But also weirdly enough my boyfriend looked up that a lot of people in that show are dead...I found it rather surprising because the 90s was not that long ago so how did so many people from that show die if it just premiered in the 90's? But either way decent show so far, but the CGI is horrible.

CGI ranging from creating dragons to expanding upon sets to make a building look even more expansive in a drama - or the invisible effects since they’re grounded in reality.
