It is also the first book to present these images as art. The tools that CGI artists use are so sophisticated that it would be easy to believe that computers 'make' this art, but nothing is further from the truth. As with all art techniques, it is the artist who wields the tools that determines the quality of the work. / Peter Weishar is Professor and Dean of the School of Film and Digital Media, Savannah College of Art and Design." - Publisher.
