CGI Studio is a proprietary 3D rendering software package developed by Blue Sky Studios, and is used to generate all of their in house animated films, including the Ice Age films, and the 20th Century Fox animated fanfare logo in 2010.
CGI Studio is often simply called Studio by those who work with it on a daily basis
The technology used by CGI Studio to generate imagery is based on ray tracing, and is fully capable of global illumination.
Studio uses a powerful programming language that allows artists to describe, manipulate, and visualize 3D elements in a flexible way.
Every scene is described using this language, which is read by Studio before rendering to determine the object properties of every element in the scene.
