That being said, CG is held to much more scrutiny than real life - you'll dismiss odd looking shading on an object IRL because 'that's just how it is', you know this is real life so there's no other way it can look. In CG however, your brain knows what it's looking at isn't real, and so it's a bit harsher on discrepancies…
That's the special edition :P that has all the BS cg added in. A collection of the original trilogy came out in 2006 that has a transfer of the laserdisc editions as a bonus disc. So you can get as close to you can as the original but you won't get widescreen or 5.1 surround. I saw some of the special editions recently on…
Looks like a rip-off of Facebook. You aren't chinese per-chance? But seriously speaking, anything that looks like Facebook is bad in my books. Doesn't seem to have any innovative features. Doesn't seem to have anything to suggest it has anything to do with CG other than the website name. So what does it have that none of…
Arc Productions, a Canadian based CG animation and visual effects facility located in downtown Toronto is looking for a Director of Photography to join our team. With over 250 artists and technical directors and the most up to date resources available, we bring the vision to both major Hollywood studios and independent…
I've been working on the texture atlas today- photomanipulation isn't something I've done much of so it's taken me a lot longer than I'd have liked to make this, (and I'ts not exactly finished. Most of the photos used here were from CG textures, though a few are photos I have taken on my phone's camera. CG textures didn't…
As stated earlier, I don't think this cg trailer is telling us the actual story, we're getting a snippet at face value. Vader has his plans, deceptive bitch that he is, hell the last game was focused around it. I think the last game caught more flak than it deserved, I found it highly enjoyable once the learning curve had…
Thanks for the refs and crit felix. Yeah Zeezee I always wondered what will inevitably happen when a cg artist makes a really convincing nude celebrity. Probably take-down notices and a front page reddit post about the controversy filled with horrific misunderstanding of cg by redditors who 'opened max a couple times' and…
I guess the way i worded that was confusing. Quantum Break did the same thing this week with their trailer. Normal live action footage of family... cut to prerendered CGI. And then Bungie does it: normal live action footage of Pollo Hermano reading a story... cut to prerendered CGI. It's jarring to me. I don't have a…
Hi Guys, here are two characters done for a CG contest called THU CG Challenge - FRIEND OR FOE."Trojan Horse was a Unicorn (THU)" is VFX, game and animation festival held in Setúbal, Troia (Portugal). First character - Warlord Seeno was designed to be a foe to their mascot Fury (FURY - concept by Serge Birault, 3D by José…
@vargatom, that is very true, but I was assuming the discussion was about retopology for current gen realtime models, and not for very highly detailed pre-rendered CG movies. Even so, when looking at the meshes used in higher quality CG movies I find it quite a bit difficult to believe an external program like TopoGun and…
