Who developed CGI?

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was developed through the collaborative efforts of several individuals and teams over time. Key figures include Ivan Sutherland, who created the first graphical computer program in the 1960s, and the team at Lucasfilm's Computer Graphics Group in the 1970s and 1980s, which produced groundbreaking CGI for films. Notably, the technology was further advanced by companies like Pixar, founded by Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, which played a significant role in popularizing CGI in animation and film.
