Demystifying the CGI process.
CGI uses computers to speed up the design process, but it isn’t as simple as pressing a button. The CGI creation process involves:
- Conceptualization and pre-production. The design team works on storyboards, character design, and scene layouts.
- 3D modeling. At this stage, designers build digital 3D objects, characters, and environments.
- Texturing. Texture applies color and realistic details to 3D models.
- Rigging. Rigging adds a digital skeleton for movement and flexibility.
- Animation. Designers use the established foundation to bring the 3D models to life and add movement.
- Lighting. Virtual lighting creates ambiance and makes the scene more realistic.
- Rendering. This converts the 3D scene into a 2D image or animation.
- Post-production. The designers add final touches, effects, and edits to make the scene production ready.
The magic of CGI 3D animation.
The rise of memorable films like Toy Story, Frozen, and Moana shows how mesmerizing CGI 3D animation can be. This animation process isn’t just visually appealing, but it also enhances storytelling and audience engagement by creating relatable characters and realistic scenes.
CGI might seem like magic to everyday audiences, but it takes real technical skill to pull off. Technical skills and software tools like Substance 3D, Blender, Maya, and Adobe After Effects are the bedrock of CGI 3D animation.

Watch to the very end, it shows how they made the animation.
Students should continue with working on Choice Zentangles and Sugar Skulls. Zentangles should be done by the end of the week and you should be halfway through the sugar skull. If you do not have this done, it should go home for homework on the weekend.
Sugar Skulls: Trace skull template onto white tag paper, then draw symmetrical designs in pencil, follow-up with going over the lines in black pen or marker, then colour with pencil crayons. Next take a photo on your phone and upload it to the Mdrive in your folder. You nay have to bring it into Photoshop to crop it. Lastly name it SUGAR SKULL.
NEW ASSIGNMENT PHOTO SLIDESHOW: Total Photos 11, Edited.
- Take 5 photos that represent who you are or connect to your life in some way. Also include a headshot/selfie that has been taken recently.
- Include 5 other photos you have taken recently, maybe theme them as Fall or just photos that you have taken and think are well composed.
- Do not just use any old photos that are on your phone or ones you have already taken. If you do not have a phone or the quality is not good, work with someone who has a phone that you can use.
- Upload these photos to the Mdrive in your folder and name the folder SLIDESHOW.
- I would like to have the photos taken by next MON?TUES if possible.
