Image Creation & Computography
Computography is a fairly recent term applied to generation of images or "photographs" entirely within the computer. For a number of years, both 2D and 3D imaging software has been available to the Draftsman, Designer or Manufacturer for CAD (Computer-Assisted Design) or CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing) applications. The film industry of late has elevated the art of wire-frame, multi-dimensional computography to new heights. ballbearing creation

The film "Toy Story" is a classic example of a feature created entirely by Computography while the recent epic "Titanic" owes some of its more memorable scenes to the brilliant application of Computography.
