Land of the giants Capture *Updated*

There seams to be a great confusion here, again, im not saying that software is good for you, or you should try, never said that

You said

We have the cinematic technology to make these things really happen on the silver screen nowadays, but nobody seems willing to take on this kind of theme.

So Im saying

This software is one excellent example of a way for the cinematic tech to reach common creators and not just big studios, so soon we will have many more people willing to take on this kind of theme

Ha I see where I might have confused you.

When I said we have the cinematic technology to create things nowadays, I was referring to the use of CGI effects in films like Jurassic Park and Peter Jackson's King Kong and Lord of The Rings etc. All of which had real actors seeming to interact with amazing creatures which weren't actually there in reality. There were other props used to create these effects of course which didn't involve CGI, but CGI was the major breakthrough at the time. I wasn't referring to movies made entirely from the technology that you've been giving examples of, but films involving real people and not character animations of people.

I don't know what effects were used in 'Downsizing' for example, but if a film like that is possible to make, then it's possible to create a movie based on Bob's illustrations above. But created using real people.

And that is what I was alluding to.

Who needs real actors anymore ?

3D is already 95% human in some softwares

Real actors mixed with good special effects demand a massive budget and those guys/studios are too woke to go into SW, at least in the naughty way we reach

I understand where you're coming from with what you say, but I don't think the world is quite ready for all movies to just have computerised images of people. Don't get me wrong there's been some great animated films done over the years, and very convincing they've been too in varying degrees. But real flesh and blood actors are irreplaceable for the majority of successful mainstream films.

But as you seem to suggest, there will no doubt be a niche market for a film depicting the way things work on here, which is where the technology you favour might come into its own.

Can we perhaps agree on that? We seem to have been hogging the thread and departing from its theme somewhat.

Sure, of course, whatever comes in the future will always be more diverse and creative... Merry Christmas

Love hand holding, LOVE IT... We have come a long way in body, light and rendering detail... Thank you for sharing...

You are absolutely right. Doc Rick states that Render / AI art reminds him of cheap video games graphic. If one does not apply good lighting and textures, I agree it can come across that way. Anyhoo conclusion of this chapter.

Actually, I was referencing just the paratroop drop scene in Band of Brothers that looks like a cheap video game graphic and really disappointed me as the rest of the miniseries was great. I've recently seen some AI pictures that I really had to exam to see they were AI and not real. AI and CGI have their place just like collage and comics. Just matters what your preference is.

It was just discussion. I know what you mean. I have seen weak looking CGI as well. AI does intrigue me. Like this stuff it's just a matter of learning it... PC and video card one uses can make quite a difference. I just noticed. I have been able to produce almost triple the amount of renders in the same time frame! I appreciate everyone who contributes and share the love.
