“I still don’t get why 1982’s Tron doesn’t get the distinction of first CGI in a movie.”
because the graphics of Tron were so pathetic that they would have been better off just doing claymation?
Yeah, can’t say I’m a CGI fan either. It gets closer to convincing realism than older techniques but is never truly convincing. It winds up in the “uncanny valley” zone where it’s distracting because it’s close but not quite. I can relate to a puppet Yoda better than a CGI Yoda even though he’s obviously a puppet.
