Computer-generated animation (commonly referred to by it's acronym 'CGI') is an umbrella term for three-dimensional ([[3D computer graphics|3D]]) animation, and 2D computer animation. These also include subcategories like [[Photorealism|photorealistic]], [[Style (visual arts)|stylized]], [[Digital asset|asset driven]], hybrid, and digital [[Visual effects|VFX]]. Creators animate using code or software instead of pencil-to-paper drawings.
