maybe not dirt...but if you want a little bit of grit about ILM check this out

Screeners are supposed to be destroyed after you watch the films - at least that what the VES agreement says.

I have friends in the VFX industry doing this work right now.

this is simply a lie.

Did Portman workout for the film? - Yes.
Are there a non-trivial number of VFX artists replacing her arms with bigger/more muscular arms? - Yes.

the real work is going to be how to properly rig/animate them
interestingly the new MetaHumans update allows custom scans
so you could do a scan > metahuman > animate in Unreal > export as USDz (?) workflow to get something worthwhile.


well...lots of inaccuracies in this as usual.

the tech has been around in various forms for years and yes, it’s always improving - but you can get the job done right now on your phone without too much effort.

oh and the page Title is wrong...sigh.

what song to kids these days sing when they’re blind drunk at 2am in their local pub if not ‘Sweet Caroline’?

Weta Workshop did the props etc - Weta Digital did the VFX for Lord of the Rings...
and if you actually look at the IMDb credits for Avatar you’ll see about 10 VFX studios listed

I didn’t realize that io9 had become a Fan Forum.
and I’m not sure how my comments can be described as ‘toxic’ when all I did was a lazy review. I could write a detailed, thoughtful review covering all aspects of the first two episodes but as I said I don’t have the energy....and it seems that no one here is interested

this is exactly the kind of review I expected these days from io9...

this show is just bad.
so bad that I don’t have the energy to list all the ways it fails - not just as a Star Wars show but as a TV show in general.
Even the fan service is bad.

I’m not up on twitter rules etc but this post seems like praising someone you like for basically shitty behavior, the kind of shitty behavior you’d condemn coming from others.


props to the design dept of Huesera.

no mention of MPC....the company that did the VFX - the same company that did Favreau’s ‘Lion King’.

...

“...Warner Bros. TV has reviewed 10 of the eight scripts for the drama...”

that’s what I call due diligence!

maybe by their math the number of children killed in schools is made up for by the number of children born through forced births?

my facebook and youtube are FULL of posts/vids making fun of her or pointing out how cool and funny Depp is...I have no idea where they are coming from...it’s fucking crazy, and sad and just fucked up...

I have no opinion on either of them or their relationship etc - I still remember the bullshit about their dog when

perhaps before people start offering up these kinds of opinions they should learn the difference between Special Effects and Visual Effects.

all Visual Effects are the result of this choice:

Disney and to a lesser extent Lucasfilm have ONLY ONE GOAL.
Making Money.

why do we see the same old characters on the same old planets having the same old adventures? Because that’s what people want. Whenever we get something new or different people stay away from it and don’t buy the merch.

This has been well understood

an old argument is even more valid these days - the number of photographs and videos being shot in any given hour has risen by orders of magnitude but the number of credible examples of UFOs (of the ‘objects in the sky flying around and we don’t know what they are’ kind) has not.

I’m pleased (I guess) that there is an

yep, but not just the true colors of politicians, might be time for new friends/family.
