Thread: People complaining about CGI? BUMP this then!

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by alsor18
Just a reminder, we have no idea of knowing at what stage in the render process the production was at when this trailer was cut so I have chosen a few scenes of what I believe are close to final renders. Big crowd scenes with many navi and complicated shots with lots of motion, take much longer to render, so those scenes wont be final until we are close to release. Also remember that ...

I agree the CGI will probably be much better than what the trailer shows.

The last one always looked wierd to me... Thanks for posting all those pics though. I love looking at them again.... The most incedible one is the fifth from the top. The face paint of her makes Neytiri look so real....it's awesome. The Na'vi and Avatars look even more real when you see them move, can't wait till Dec. 18th... "Wave of the Future"

http://imagenic.net/images/2czcjxkkst38lq4ly344.jp g This is the one image and scene which truly impressed me. Definitly looks close to "photoreal". Just look at the forhead and hair. It could easily be someone in prosthetic make -up and costume. ~18.12.09~ Are you ready to go to Pandora?

tbh some look awesome - some not so good I wouldnt have pornographic relations with a fok'n creature!

I_Toss_Poultry replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Only the ones with facepaint could arguabley be called photoreal

alsor18 replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I never said anything about photoreal. This is for people proclaiming the CGI is bad or average. For all we know every single shot could look like the warpaint shots when the movie is finished. Avatar doubters/haters go here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/board/flat/150 634548

Um, still looks silly to me. Seriously, I think we're talking Jar Jar Binks level of misfire here. It looks ridiculous. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, he don't do *beep*

You chose very great shots and some that I would have choosen personnally. So that's very cool for me.

I was at a cage fight game with 5000 Rednecks when this trailer suddenly played on the big screen. The result? During the fight scenes people screamed "HELL YEAH, THAT*S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, WOOHOOOOO" and went totally ecstatic. Then when a silent moment from the trailer came up the entire place went quiet and I saw grown bearded men with tears in their eyes, sobbing like little girls. One even had to be carried out...

Dude, I can see that you've never been in a sports bar. Nothing wrong with that, but don't make light of it and dismiss it because you don't like something. That's the same kind of condescension and prejudice you seem to be accusing other people of - or maybe worse actually. Look, I don't know how this film will look on the big screen. I have said this. But for the Avatar/Cameron fans to not admit that the trailers are...

The eyes of the Na'vi in Avatar are perfectly animated and very lifelike.

King Kong won the Oscar because Kong himself is without a doubt one of the greatest, most believable CGI creations of all time. I'm pretty sure he was number 1 on IGN"s list of the 10 best. Sure some of the other CGI was awful, but Kong looked so real it was insane. Kong deserved that Oscar, WOTW had good CGI, but the pods aint sh!t to animate compared to Kong, and the aliens were only good, not great....

...and the aliens were only good, not great. Oooh, yes. Very true. I forgot all about those Nazi-like aliens. I do recall being a bit dissappointed in the cinema upon seeing those beings. Infact, I would say you're being generous by saying that they were atleast "good." So I will accept those as good potential reasons as to why the Oscars may have subtracted some points from the overall greatness of WOTW's effects....

It could easily be someone in prosthetic make -up and costume. I'm still wondering if this image is 100% completed, to be honest. It looks incredibly real, but there still is something that bothers me about the hair compositing, precisely...

How was it ''pretty bad''? If you think King Kong's CGI looks bad, then what movies do you think have good CGI? "Worship me or I'll torture you forever" -Your loving God.
