As part of CS Ed week let's look at another application of CS. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically, 3D computer graphics) to special effects. CGI is used in films, television programs and commercials, and in printed media. If this sounds interesting, check out Purdue University's Animation and Visual Effects Degree. Also, remember to look at all the CS options in the Applied Arts and Math departments offered here at RB!
