OT: Something freaky....
I just stumbled across this, and thought I'd share it here.
It's really freaky, and even a little... unnerving...to me somehow.

Re: OT: Something freaky....
A wonderful example of the direction CGI is heading,.. meaning making stuff that is photo-realistic and blends in well in a natural setting.
Some of the anim is blatant CGI/3D renderings, but a few are so well done that it would fool the average joe into thinking those plants were real.
Nice post, got more CGI examples?
Cheers!  |

Re: OT: Something freaky....
All those eyes moving, blinking, watching... I agree it's unnerving. I wouldn't want to eat a salad when it's staring back at me with multiple eyes.

Hitting the "THIS VIDEO" link on that page gave me an attempted home-page hijack. Beware of spyware.

Put me in the average joe camp. Not that they look like real plants, but I could swear a few of them look like physical models. Maybe like a stop motion thing. If that's all CGI I'm impressed, and a little spooked.

David, if you want to see the most topnotch digital artists (IMO) in the world, try http://www.cgsociety.org/
I'm constantly amazed at what I see there. Of course, I dare not post anything 'cause my stuff looks like stick figures in comparison. I joined last year (and just renewed) because you get access to some extra stuff but you can browse the forums and site free.
Go be amazed!
[edit] Oh, and that's the place I first saw that video last year.
