- Yeah, hair and fur. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 08:50
- with True Blood, Twilight, GoT - I would think that there is wolf software, but I know nothing -- nm - crash davis Aug 10, 08:38 1
  - hell with Grey you'd think that -- nm - Remlik Aug 10, 08:55
not knowing anything about CGI, this strikes me as odd, but I'll believe it -- nm - crash davis Aug 10, 08:36 10
- Lots of individual hairs, as I understand it. It can be done, but it takes a Pixar (Monsters Inc) or a WETA (PotA) for it to look any good, and - Roger More Aug 10, 08:44 7
  - The latest PotA was weak story-wise but man oh man the effects. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 08:49 1
    - agreed. they're the closest we've come to life-like CGI characters yet. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 10, 10:03
  - I know I'm going to say 'doh!' but PotA? I've got a brain cloud and can only think of PotC -- nm - crash davis Aug 10, 08:46 2

      - DOH! -- nm - crash davis Aug 10, 08:47
  - Yeah, we listened to a feature-ette on either Brave or Tangled as to how hard it was do those CGI-hairs...just tough overall -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 10, 08:45 1
    - Brave. I recall them stating that Merida's hair was a technical marvel for CGI at the time. - Shaun Aug 10, 08:48
- Even the new Beauty and the Beast had trash CGI wolves. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 08:39 1
  - yeah, that scene didn't leave as big an impression on me as some of the others did -- nm - crash davis Aug 10, 08:43
