However, as the emergence of CGI has been quite recent in films and television, we can document this emergence quite easily. Before the use of CGI, miniature models pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects were used to simulate otherworldly images. Star Wars in 1977 is a pioneer in both special effects and CGI. The final battle on the Death Star was simulated with miniature models of the set and used pyrotechnics for explosions. However, the first use of 3D wireframe imagery was for the scenes of the Death Star plans and the targeting computers in the X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon.
