CGI movie effects

If you have ever watched "Face off" you know that a lot of work goes into making the monster effects we all love so much and its no surprise that the effects are still used to day. But when I read that these same effects were used to replace CGI animation that surprised me.
   what I find to be most impressive is the creative use of materials in order to create effects most believed to be CGI. The best example is in Harry Potter film when Harry grows fins and webbed hands was done with a stocking, stuffing, and some silicon. Another thing I found interesting was the use of 3D printers in the movie business. I've always liked the ides of 3D printing and I know it was being used in the sculpture business. It came as a shock that  some films use 3D printing is being used to make parts for monsters.  The article 3D printing will end up becoming the norm in the film business and I agree but I think it will the printing will go far past monster heads and go full body. Lastly I like that people are still using the old methods of getting CGI effects with real models and masks rather than computer effects, you know what they say if its not broke don't fix it.
 My final question is" will we ever be creating those kind of effects next year?"
