CGI

In CGI class, we got to learn how to make a cube O.O LOL There's already a cube object but we had to make one starting from must four points. Then we had to illuminate it properly and render it. Rendering is like taking a pic of it. For simple things like we did today, it only takes a few seconds. But for more realistic and complex things, it can take hours if you do it on one computer. The big studios use hundreds and possibly thousands of computers to render. All those computers are called a render farm. Can you imagine the size of Pixar's farm O.O?
