He Suffers From Severe Depression and Uses Mushrooms, LSD & MDMA to Fight His Dark Thought Which TBH Makes Him the Legend He is Today Also I Think Making “Mad God” Took A lot of Time, Effort & Energy to Make By Himself It’s Also Crazy to See How Many People of All Ages idolise Him He Doesn’t Realise How Amazing are Is But I Hope One Day He Does……

2:50 and that's why the cgi in Starship Troopers looked so good even today. They went outside. I know some digital companies still do it but hose that actually make the effort like this end up looking better for it.

@aliensoup2420 Жыл бұрын

Generally all CG effects companies capture on location data, including lighting references. They consolidate the lighting information into 2 spheres : a reflective mirror sphere for capturing environmental light sources, and a grey sphere for capturing incident light values. This has been a standard method since the early to mid 90's . A model reference might be used if it is available, for capturing specific shadow and ambient light details.

@greggybada Жыл бұрын

you're probably mixing the cgi from the practical effects... most close up shots and those that interact with the actors were practical, and the faraway running bugs were cgi...

Phil Tippett is to VFX what John Williams is to scores. His work will be remembered and lauded, just like Johns, long long after he's gone because he is the best at what he does. I absolutely adore his work - and I have nothing to do with the film industry or anything like that. I'm just a long time film fan (I'm 53) and Phils work has permeated every movie I've ever loved and watching the docs on how he understands how things need to be done for them to work on screen is just amazing. A lifetime achievement award from all the powers that be should be given. A brilliant man.

I hope George compensated them after the sale. Beyond a complimentary beer. Remember everyone. Who knows what the TSR fans will do when they're no longer here.

Or just annoyed of all super geeks, that drools all over his stuff and worshiping him for things he necessarily like or like talking about anymore. (as a artist in sculpting, painting and other types of art.. often you dont like your early stuff because you now, would do it much better job or do it differently!) or sad and misses the good old days ...just a excessive, over complicated, thought out theory that i spent way too much time writing in English😂

@wetlazer2443 7 жыл бұрын

I understand what he's describing with manipulating the 'points' to achieve a realistic looking animation, but I can also see how much effort he was putting in to try to make sure Will understood him. At one point the guy even gets a bit flustered. I think Will got it, but I can see how hard it might be to explain these concepts to someone.

@convolution223 2 жыл бұрын

yeah, as someone who dabbled in 3D animation, what he's talking about is the graph editor, which is kind of a pain but a necessary evil. And yeah, each keyframe's default is to have an exponential (slow approach, slow finish) curve to it so each keyframe seems unnaturally fluid. He's right that in real-life things move at different paces and there are more starts and stops.
