How do people produce high quality, computer genrerated pictures? They shurely can't do it all by hand.?

Question

I was wondering if they use a special program, or draw it on paper, or what, and if they use a program, where I can get it?

That are 2D.

Answer 1

Your question is too broad to answer simply.

If you mean 3d "computer generated pictures" they use a program like lightwave. You can read more about 3d programs here:

2d pictures can be created in computer with a mouse by using vectors in a program like Adobe Illustrator or Freehand.

Other 2d pictures can be drawn in a program like photoshop. Some people use lightpens to draw in the computer, and some people scan line-art and use programs to edit the hand-drawings.
These are "raster" or bitmap graphics and use up lots of memory. Photographs are also bitmaps.

Some people really do it all "by hand" click click click! Pixel graphics involve creating a picture pixel by pixel.

It's still a question of skill mastery..
SOME professionals draw then paint it on pC
others to have a RICHLY detailed piece
mises 2d programps with 3d programs..
others use the technique called downsizing..
donwsizing is a techique when a person
works wth a 300 and up DPI resolution
and donsize it so the PIXELS will compress
ending up with tightened pixels wich richens the
picture.. rather than posting the original size with
blurry parts..

Answer 3

The same way artists generate high-quality images with natural media; we just use different tools.

Instead of pen/paper, digital artists use a hardware device called a wacom tablet; it has an opaque screen that you can draw on while your brush strokes appear on your computer monitor. Digital illustrators either scan in their pencil drawings and color over them, or do a freehand sketch of their composition and values in the art program of their choice and bring an image to completion within it.

The program of choice for many illustrators is Photoshop. The most recent version is CS2, and a trial version can be found on the Adobe website. Another favorite is Painter IX, which is owned by Corel and can be downloaded as a trial from their website. It's really up to personal preference, and whichever you adjust to most quickly.

Ignore people who assume that digital art isn't "real," or that the computer has some sort of make art button that causes completed images to just appear on screen. Learning to paint digitally is just as difficult as painting with oil, acrylic, watercolor or any other medium, and it requires the same set of skills-- knowledge of space, value, hue, composition, lighting, contour, rhythm, perspective, etc. It'll take time-- years, in some cases-- but with enough practice anyone can do high-quality digital art, just like anyone can do photo-realistic painting. You only get out of art what you put into it, after all.

Answer 4

Please clarify whether you are talking about 2D CG, or 3D CG.

3D CG programs include 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D

2D CG programs include Photoshop, after effects, illustrator and others.
