For example, in the movie Star Wars Carrie Fisher played Princess Leia, but because she was not as young as she used to be, they used a CGI version of her. What do you call the CGI version of an actor? Is there a particular word for it?

Here's an example sentence:

Disney used a ___ of Carrie Fisher in 10 other Star Wars movies.

CGI can be used as a noun adjunct like this:

Disney used a CGI Carrie Fisher in 10 other Star Wars movies.

It's short, specific, and it's something people definitely say. Here are some examples:

The phrase that you use in your question is correct and clear

Disney used a CGI version of ...

You could also use "virtual"

A virtual Carrie Fisher

But this is less explicit and perhaps less clear.
