Eventually most stuff that we see will be computer generated. First stills, then extras in movies, supporting actors, and maybe stars. Extras are already computer generated for some crowd scenes where they are small enough not to need a high level of rendering.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-67535719055698108002014-06-18T02:08:41.332+00:002014-06-18T02:08:41.332+00:00I've posted a couple of screenshots, which giv...I've posted a couple of screenshots, which gives an impression of how complex it is.

I am not good at using very complicated software, so I doubt I'll ever have the patience to do 3D work myself. <br /><br />Pat, it is made with a 3D app (three different ones actually). But seemingly built bit by bit, not with any face or skin algorithms to any great degree. (Although parts of making the hair is done like that.)<br /><br />I will now post a page from the article in the post, to give an impression of it.
