Crazy how they used to drop these movies every two years

Goes to show how weak we got.

@@user-uc4hc9yc9n If you think this is easy then you are definitely deluded

[@user-uc4hc9yc9n]

@@IronMan-dp8gv No it's not easy... I.m myself a CGI artist(I also do be sweating sometimes). But it's definitely *"EASIER"* to pull some high-end rendering due to advancements in tech. Back then knowledge about 3d was a bit scarce, and GPU capabilities were left to desire(and those who had it did fantastic jobs)... what about today?... what are the excuses of those rocking rocket ships and PHD's in 3d animation/VFX?
I didn't say EASY... I said EASIER. Take a look at game development... half ass job getting done everywhere whilst back then game was polished with love.
I'm not delusional...You're just lazy. you the type to rely on AI to generate your tale and call it a day. where's your artistic side?!

[@Sweetcommando]

That driller + building combo must have claimed a few lives at ILM

[@Regan_Tour24]

they literally hide the artist body somewhere😅

[@weezy4094]

I was thinking the same thing, what a crazy complicated sequence. Looking at hundreds of versions per shot easily

[@ivanm3342]

@@weezy4094 I just really want to know how many man hours is that?? Excluding all the on site photography, all the story boards, etc just the artists getting all their reference materials, all the assets and being told ok, now make this. Like, how much does that take? Seems like an ungodly amount.

[@86Fallowcp]

@@ivanm3342 I remember reading they needed close to 2k artists just to finish that whole scene in time. Don't know how true it is nowadays

[@CommanderPrime]

​@@ivanm3342 Just for a bit of perspective. They said that the Devastator from TF2 took 24 hours to render a single frame. So you can imagine how much work the driller took

[@Transformers_nerd_stop_motions]

This film had some of the best VFX I've ever seen

[@__S.parmar]

Did you watch 'Avatar' ??????

[@KillerTacos54]

No matter how you feel about these films writing wise, there is no question that they are some of the most visually stunning out there

[@superstew79]

ILM are cgi gods, no one can touch for sheer quality and fidelity

[@dominicMcAfee]

I think WETA can

[@superstew79]

@@dominicMcAfee they are good but not ILM level

A lot of this stuff is also Digital Domain.

[@aromalsuresh290]

​​@@superstew79ILM did Warcraft and Weta did Avatar which looks better? WETA's work in lord of the rings, Avatar and planet of the apes movies shows they are far ahead now , Ilm has just one oscar in the last 24 years.

[@artmaknev3738]

That drill snake going throught the building is just a gorgeous sequence!

[@PepeCaspers]

Vfx / CGI stuff is so impressive, can't understand how people are so annoyed by such a beautiful art form

[@happyotter9]

It can be overwhelming when used over the top and when visuals is the only thing a movie can propose, offering no substance to it.
PS. A CG artist myself.

[@gernalra63mx20]

The 3d tracking is amazing!

[@Shockwave_987]

I swear, these movies had the best CGI of all time and no one can tell me otherwise.

[@aidenmorreyvoiceactor]

How have I gone 13 YEARS not knowing that tge Driller has treads like a tank????

[@HeyItsJK]

While Michael Bay has been outcasted from Hollywood these days, the first 3 films still hold up. The first one is getting a little iffy on cgi but visually these hold up to modern standards

[@hannanshahid2416]

thats some grade A filmmaking!!!

Ai can’t do that! 💥 Need the human brain! 😅

Were you involved in making the Transformers movies? amazing

[@aaronguo5128]

The best way is always to combine real and CGI. Not obssesing over no CGI like Nolan, not over-using CGI like Marvel neither.

[@4LOOR]

So much work, that's insane

[@viratGarg05550]

WOW TRANSFORMERS VFX IS GREATER THAN DC AND AVENGERS

[@CadeXR]

the effects are amazing, however we cannot ignore the fact so much of this being done in camera, if the enviroments were all CG it would not be nearly as impressive

[@Hex_Scythe_takanashi]

Cool effects

[@ImaginaryPrime]

AMAZING VFX ARTISTS!!!❤

[@thanatosor]

ILM basically secured 80% revenue

[@BestManEver2]

This film needs to go back to IMAX.

[@enchihouse]

the tracking team...good lord

[@victoirethondo2922]

Hell yeah here we are

[@english_5359]

I thought this is gonna make me motivated to keep learning 3D but it made me unmotivated because it’s so great. How many years of practice do I need?

[@user-zq4bn2hu5y]

A studio of 300 people with years of experience is what you need

[@erolc82]

Yeah, it's a huge team that work on these scenes -- and all the tasks are divided into simpler/ smaller ones!

[@ambiouse]

Your work can feel irrelevant in the grand scheme of things in any profession. People often feel this way in music, painting, sports... Anywhere where the result is apparent.
I've spent 10 years of doing CGI and I wouldn't be able to replicate those scenes in any reasonable timeframes. It's not a work for a solo artist :)

[@ericksarmiento9331]

CUANDO LE DABAN EL TIEMPO SUFICIENTE A LA PRODUCCION PARA HACER BUEN CGI

[@PrinceEIijah]

How do the buildings look so good with like little to no geometry to work with?

[@ambiouse]

the buildings shown in this breakdown are most likely from the blocking phase of the process that are later replaced with high-poly geometry and voroniy fractured as necessary. On the other hand the glass-facade towers are just that... simple geometry, glass polygons. In some other cases what you see in the breakdown might also be a proxy of LOD low-poly representation of what's actually being rendered. VFX pipeline usually involves rendering stuff in multiple chunks and compositing it together later for flexibility...
So to answer the question, I don't think the studios tried to limit themselves in the polycount :)

[@TransformMax2401]

Perfect

[@UlulAkhlam.3D]

awesome!

[@Alex-mc4fh]

is it mostly projection mapping?

[@ambiouse]

yes, all the crushing drill bot crumpling down the buildings shots are projection mappings LMAO :))

No.

[@leifdux7277]

idk what is real anymore
