Quote - i watched the Starship Troopers movie, it was kewl CGI, looked like a final fantasy cut scene.  well, it was made by SONY, so i guess it's the same software.

Hair looked shiny, armpit creases were where you'd expect them to be.

Has anyone tried the Arnold render thing?  maybe if i win the powerball lottery.

besides the pixar movies, anyone seen a CGI movie that made you sick with longing ?

i bought the Dragonlance movie, cuz the cover characters looked cgi, but the movie looked nothing like the cover.

On your recommendation I tried the film. And while I found the story a bunch of militaristic bif-bang-pow crap, I was nevertheless glad I watched it.

I thought the CGI was indeed cool, and that's exactly the standard I'm aiming for. Of course I still have some way to go, but at least I feel I'm getting better.

(My latest effort was a "Dawn" trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt2YGmVwTXI - animated in Poser and rendered in C4D)

So yes, I am "sick with longing", so I just try to work hard, address my weaknesses, and try to get better.

A rather different kind of animation, and yet very interesting, is the 2009 film "Metropia".
