Yeah, I believe that was what we meant to begin with. A character appearing in CGI for the first time was used to describe that the said character was seen in that medium for the first time in the series, or they were seen in a medium other than machinima.

Mattwo wrote: I should probably also point out that pre-rendered animation is generally used to refer to animation within a game, and not when animation is added to recorded footage of game, as both would already have been previously rendered. Oh yeah, good point. So I believe it would be incorrect to word certain sentences like this:


 * This episode marks the first time Washington is seen in pre-rendered computer animation.

Since technically the game engine's avatars (as well as environments) are already pre-rendered. How do you think we should word sentences like this?
