This special issue contains 35 best papers accepted for the XXV edition of the Computer Graphics International Con-ference, CGI 2007, held in Petr´opolis, near Rio de Janeiro, from May 30th to June 2nd 2007. The CGI has been or-ganized every year since 1983 by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). This year the interest group on computer graphics and image processing of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) was also involved.
In addition to these 35 full papers, the CGI program committee also accepted 25 full papers for publication in the CGI proceedings from 145 submitted papers. The re-viewing process was based on the evaluation provided by
at least three reviewers per paper. The conference included one invited talk from Prof. Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz, and three tutorials coordinated by Dr. Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, Dr. Daniel Magnenat-Thalmann, Dr. Victor Zordan and Dr. Brian Wyvill.
We are grateful to several institutions: the Federal Uni-versity of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), the UniUni-versity of Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS), the Federal Uni-versity of Pernambuco, the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), the Computer Graphics Society (CGS) and the Brazilian Network on Visualization (RBV). We also ac-knowledge the financial support of CNPq, FINEP and FAPERJ. Furthermore, we would like to thank all the peo-ple from the local organization, the several committees responsible for the different activities, the conference sup-port personnel, the invited speaker, the tutorial instructors and the authors who have kept the high quality of submit-ted works and provided the excellent level of CGI 2007.
