Quote:I don't know. It just depends how convincing computer graphics can go,and how far the envelope can be pushed until they can't go any further. If people demand violence, and action crap - then it'll live in forever until someone gets wise, and they go back to actual model making again. You can only do so much with CGI garbage,but it'll never replace the real thing no matter how good they think they are at it. You can't fool the eye,especially a trained one!
Yea I'm with you there. Looking at the effects from the new Star Wars movies, as pretty as some of them were, there was that missing something. I think eventually CG will look almost if not exactly realistic. It's not there yet, but it gets better every year. I'll always be a hands on modeler at heart. I grew up watching these great movies, and wanting to hold a little piece of the "Magic" in my 10 digits. As much as I love computers, and CG, real models are always where its at for me. Cg is real helpful to me in designing the physical models. You can compare all the measurements and line everything up before you start cutting expensive plastic or whatever. It helps me anyway. Some people just have that eye, and can do it old school. I have a pretty good eye I think, but need a little extra help, LOL. Cheers,
Joe
