Quote - BTW - I heard a report that Angelina Jolie (the real version, not her CG counterpart) was real-world upset & angry over her 3D avatar's constant state of nudity in that movie.  Apparently, she wasn't informed that her CG-self would be naked all of the time.

She was angry because she usually likes to do that sort of thing in person :P

Quote - No, no, no.......now we return to defending the high-concept Art of a high-end-CG-generated version of a completely naked Angelina Jolie strutting around in a dark cave.  That's FAR less trite than V4's in temples with swords -- because only rank amateurs would produce trite stuff like that.

I don't buy this. I'v never seen any of those people doing 'high-end-CG-generated versions' of NVIATWAS claim that their work is anything more then an example of skill and craftsmanship. At most they take credit for the exceptional talent and hard work it takes to produce one of these high quality works, which they are of course entitled to. And all those wonderful ZBrush modellers that breathe life into dead grey polygons are as amazing as any master sculptor that ever lived. Just because they moved to a more modern medium then clay or marble doesnt diminish their work in the least.

How many of the renders in our galleries can make that kind of claim, NVIATWAS or otherwise ?
