I'm glad great big companies like Disney are investing in these type of technologies always striving for the best, hiring these people that make an effort to always better their job and the end result. It's inspiring. You really can't imagine the amount of technology that goes into the animated movies, but the end result just keeps getting better and better along with good stories and plot lines, really, investment in progress is beautiful.

@deadrablade 6 жыл бұрын

I don't know why but the water effects in Moana always rubbed me the wrong way. The ocean and water LOOKED nice but when it came to the actual physics it always appeared a little to "gel like". I've seen other movies achieve the physics more accurately so I'm not sure if there were time constraints or this is really what they were going for.

@captainteeko4579 6 жыл бұрын

Deadrablade I think it’s bc they wanted it to have an an amorphous body shape and act like it was possessed by a spirit rather than just water on its own I could be wrong

@yilvoxe4017 6 жыл бұрын

Deadrablade I think they definitely were going for a more gel-like effect, similar to how liquids work and feel in the Ghibli movies.

@murtazarizvi368 6 жыл бұрын

actually the gel-like features comes because the water has a near-definite shape sometimes. like the flower on head part
