@@stormk-1130 good news, you dont need to know how to model to be vfx, its more like technical skill than artistic skill to be vfx. if u have a good portfolio showing your vfx skills u could get hired by big companies.
It's incredible the level of appreciation I've gained knowing the complexity of making assets, editing, and keeping up with your leadership's ideas through the production process. I've never even done the work as I am a student of animation but just knowing the man hours it took to make this film makes me want to watch it. I don't even care about Kong himself, I'm there for the artwork. The character connection can come after I've seen it.
10 millions doesn't seem much, Blender can handle that no problems, ZBrush can handle more than 200 millions polygons, and 5 millions for a model isn't even that much for a game asset nowadays, so maybe a double check on these numbers is needed here! 🤔 Other than that, great video! 🤙
@@travisrassel9978 i dont know why companys are doing that tho. People play games to escape reality. The best selling games of all times are minecraft, gta 5 and tetris. Those games have just simple graphics.
@@pineapplepizzasandwich1974 Still, even in 2017, ZBrush could handle over a hundred of millions of polygons no problem, Lana Lan, an ILM supervisor, says on a video that she believes that the model had half a million polygons, all of this is actually a rehash of an ILM behind the scene video!
@@pineapplepizzasandwich1974 I just checked, the Einard character from the Blender Charged movie is 225 000 quads, so 500 000 for a mega movie main character still seems a bit low!
However, Peter Jackson had more creatures in the movie, and it was cooler. the island really seemed like a living prison, unsuitable for people. and in 2017, for some reason, everything seems too empty.
They wasted too much time on King Kong it doesn’t take all this too make King Kong I think everyone on this VFX team are extreme over thinkers mainly the director
Z-brush for sculpting, Maya for retopo, hair and animation, Mari for Texture Houdini for Sims, Renderman for render and nuke for composition.... For specs studios use render farm not only for render but for working too, one system is connected with several CPUs for maximum performance and less crashes
Directors are like kids with very expensive toys nowadays. It really pains me how easily they throw away shots that dozens of highly skilled artists work days and nights to create sometimes. CGI industry needs their unions yesterday.
This creeped into my ear also. And all this expensive location recreation... Who cares? It's a diverse magical island. It's not like they were creating Apocalypse Now.
Is there a general "cap" for polys? I know you try to get them as low as possible, but it's crazy to think Kong had half a million! What do you think the cut off point is, at its most extreme?
VFX for movies have different standards than games do. Games have to watch their polycount cause the models have to be rendered in real-time. Movie models are rendered out frame by frame in the studio’s render farm and can therefore have much more detail.
There is technically no known limit aside from wasting money beyond a certain point. At some point there is no point for more detail. Anything beyond would just be rendering stuff we cant even see.
There's not really a cap for polygons in VFX in the same way there is for games. That said, games are able to hit pretty high polycounts these days too. "Make it as low as possible" is not really the full idea behind topology, instead think of it like "Make it as low as possible WHILE keeping all the shapes I need". Sometimes polygons are added to make deformation and rigging easier, sometimes they are added for simulation. As long as the animators can get realtime feedback on their work, the polycount is mostly irreverent, since the actual number of polygons rendered is much much higher (Subdivisions applied at render are still polygons, you just don't interact with them the same way). If you must get a number, its not uncommon to have assets with 100s of millions of polygons at rendertime, with scenes consisting of billions when needed. I hope this helps, but feel free to ask other questions :)
Loved this movie even more when it came out in cinemas watched it on Imax 3D glasses moving chair and all amazing experience felt like i was part of the movie
the 2005 one has its flaws but it is way, way better than all other kong´s that came after ... And also the Kong character was way more believable in so many ways. Kong´s performance here and especially in the latest one gets closer and closer to a man in a suit in every iteration...
More of a quantum mainframe PC with RTX 7070(that doesn't exist but hey lol) either way.. My 4gb ram laptop and the low poly 3d I can do be crying seeing they system. (wonderful english)
I take it that the 10 million polys you mention is a retopoed model used directly for animation in the scenes .. because for a static base model 10M polys is NOTHING. I can do a 10M model on my 400$ android tablet.
Kong is described as a prehistoric primate not just a giant Silverback gorilla he's like a giant half human half ape hybrid monster like in the 76 version I like that version better its brings a more terrifyingly presence

@@KrunoslavStifter the woke stuff is political stuff right? Godzilla is one of the only characters to have the reverse going on with the political message being less important for the story than at the start of the franchise.
@@rexyjp1237 "the woke stuff is political stuff right?" Well, yes, it is political, but its driven by religious instincts. The method is change the culture, capture political sphere. What they call long march through the institutions, politics is downstream culture etc. However you want to see it, woke religion is the official religion of America, promoted by all the captured institutions, from Hollywood apparatus, to education, health, law, even army institutions. “Woke religion” is not an official religious term or belief system. It is a colloquial expression that refers to the adoption or integration of progressive and socially-conscious views, values, and ideas into religious beliefs and practices. This can include advocating for social justice, racial equality, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental sustainability, and other progressive causes. Woke religion may involve reinterpreting traditional religious teachings in a way that aligns with these values, or it may involve religious communities actively advocating for social change. “The cultural situation in America today (and indeed in all Western societies) is determined by the cultural earthquake of the nineteen-sixties, the consequences of which are very much in evidence. What began as a counter-culture only some thirty years ago has achieved dominance in elite culture and, from the bastions of the latter (in the educational system, the media, the higher reaches of the law, and key positions within government bureaucracy), has penetrated both popular culture and the corporate world. It is characterized by an amalgam of both sentiments and beliefs that cannot be easily catalogued, though terms like 'progressive,' 'emancipators or 'liberationist' serve to describe it. Intellectually, this new culture is legitimated by a number of loosely connected ideologies- leftover Marxism, feminism and other sexual identity doctrines, racial and ethnic separatism, various brands of therapeutic gospels and of environmentalism. An underlying theme is antagonism toward Western culture in general and American culture in particular. A prevailing spirit is one of intolerance and a grim orthodoxy, precisely caught in the phrase "political correctness.” ― Peter L. Berger The history of political correctness is more complex, first emerging in Communist terminology as a policy concept denoting the orthodox party line of Chinese Communism as enunciated by Mao Tse-Tung in the 1930s. This we may call the hard political or literal sense. It was then borrowed by the American New Left in the 1960s, but with a more rhetorical than strictly programmatic sense, before becoming adopted and current in Britain. It is essentially a modern coinage by a minority, deriving from politically correct, dating from about 1970. “Fascism” has followed the same semantic pattern, being transformed from its strict Italian political origins to its broader sense of dictatorship and conformity. Roger Scruton has a notable essay on the topic in Untimely Tracts (1987). Today both “Puritan” and “Fascist” are, of course, highly critical terms. Paul Johnson defined political correctness as “liberal fascism” (cited in Kramer and Kimball, 1995, p. xii). As political correctness has become more fashionable, so it has become less clearly defined, as is typical with such phrases when their currency broadens. It now covers a whole range of individual, social, cultural, and political issues, and topics as diverse as fatness, appearance, stupidity, diet, crime, prostitution, race, homosexuality, disability, animal rights, the environment, and still others. It has taken on the characteristics of a buzzword, becoming a fashionable phrase without a clear meaning, but one which nevertheless invokes certain clear responses, hostile or positive, depending on context. It is a semantic sign of orthodoxy with not one, but several party lines. Obviously, not all of these listed issues are of equal social importance, especially in terms of values and morality. Yet often they are accorded similar weight and seriousness. Indeed “diversity,” one of the new key terms in the vocabulary, is stretched to accommodate this range of social problems and agendas. From its first manifestations in America, political correctness has had a double agenda, being a combination of freedom and constraint. The “political” aspect involved opening up new cultural horizons, but “correctness” brought conformity in accepting new agendas, new limits on freedom of expression, and a general avoidance of certain controversial topics. One feature of political correctness has been the replacement of cultural élitism by relativism. This is not entirely a bad thing. The days are certainly over when writers could describe themselves, as T. S. Eliot famously did, as “classicist in literature, royalist in politics, Anglo-Catholic in religion.” Yet Eliot’s damning comment on “the indomitable spirit of mediocrity” (from his 1949 play The Cocktail Party, Act I, scene ii) surely applies to much modern culture. As early as 1936, incidentally, George Orwell first referred scathingly to a ‘Mickey Mouse universe’. Today we experience the “Disneyfication” of everything. Moreover, Roger Scruton has recently identified what he calls “absolutist relativism,” pointing out the “deeply paradoxical nature of the new relativism. While holding that all cultures are equal and judgment between them absurd, the new culture . . . is in the business of persuading us that Western culture, and the traditional curriculum are racist, ethnocentric, patriarchal, and therefore beyond the pale of political acceptability” (Scruton, 2007, p. 84). Hence, every narrative in movies coming out of Hollywood must conform to a larger politically correct narrative of what we might call woke religion, resulting in really bad products that only care about being politically, meaning religiously, correct. Diversity and inclusion quotas, resulting in lame people getting roles that are based on skin color or political affiliation, not merit. Only white men can be villains; no black men. Women must replace men as action heroes, and all men must be some kind of lame, stooge-like, sidekicks to Mary Sue type characters. A Mary Sue is a character archetype in fiction, usually a young woman, who is often portrayed as inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers, liked or respected by most other characters, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous,. Also endless sequels, reboots, etc. They are serving on one end as vehicles to push "the message," and on the other, they rely on nostalgia to push a message no one would otherwise buy into. It also serves as a way to destroy all that came before it, and like a dog in a new yard, warriors have to piss over everything before them to make it seem conquered. In short, America in current era, might be more and more Godless, but its far from irreligious. And just last week or so we have seen trans shooters killing Christian children and White House promoting and protecting and covering up for trans shooters, because that is the new religion. Hollywood is just a tool to spread it far and wide, weather you like it or not. Quality of character writing, direction,VFX etc is secondary. VFX is not great but its least effected since advancements in technology are so great in other eras and there is so much money put into these movies. But they alone, cannot replace everything else.
Zbrush is cheating a little bit with depicting all the polygons. It makes no sense at all for zbrush to do simulations, as it would be probably worse, than other software. They would have to change the core of Zbrush for that.
this is what i dont understand about blender and cgi: you cant do cloth sim with to many polies, so where do´you draw the line?`do you make physics when every other mesh optimized? i mean if you need a jacket with physics, but you havent finished the breast plate below. its impossible. it just takes to long to simulate
The CGI is exellent BUT.... the movie is terrible, with a terrible script, terrible acting, a bad concept... and so... even if the CGI is great, the movie is still BAD and did not enhanced the experience at all.
AAANNNDDD......... it all went downhill from here. Seriously tho, 2014's "GODZILLA" and 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND" has the Best-looking VFX and CGI, especially compared to the Stupidly Overrated Future Installments from 2019 and 2021 (and I got a feeling that the Upcoming 2024 Sequel will be no Exception). Like, think about it: in 2014's "GODZILLA", Godzilla and the MUTOs felt like an Actual Realistic Creatures because their Movements fits their Size and Weight. the Movie actually Managed to make them Feel like an Actual Giant-Monsters in a Hollywood Movie. all the Destruction the MUTOs causes, the Impact that Godzilla has on the Water whenever he swims, all the Fog that been created whenever a Building gets Destroyed... NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A HOLLYWOODIC QUALITY. Hell, even 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND", as much of a Disappointing Mediocre Product as it is, at least it is Still incredible to look at. King Kong still got an Impact on the Mountains whenever he lands on Them, the Impact that he got on the Water when he hunted those Squids, the Final Battle, the Way how Ramarak walks through the Jungle in search of the Human Characters... it is still Incredible-looking. sure, unlike 2014's "GODZILLA", the CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND" has it's own Hiccups here and there, but for most of the Time it is still Phenomenal. But then you get to a Massively Overrated Big Pile of Shit like 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", where they threw all the Realistic-looking CGI out of the Window in order to make the Giant-Monsters look more "Accurate" to the Japanese Movies, where they felt less like Hollywood CGI Monsters and more like Man in Rubber-Suits. the CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS" looks so Incompetent because the Monsters are moving too Fast when in some Point it looks less like CGI and more like Suitmation. seriously, it looks like Michael Dougherty made the Giant-Monsters to move so Fast on purpose in order to Reference in a very Fan Service-y way the Terrible Overpraised Suitmation of the Japanese Movies. and I know that Many Godzilla Fans are like "sUiTmAtIoN iS fAr MoRe ReSpEcTfUl, TrAdItIoNaL aNd HoNoRaBlE tO tHe SoUrCe-MaTeRiAl MoViEs Of JaPaN"... Guys, just because the Live-Action adaptation is More Traditional and Accurate to the Source Material doesn't means it's Good. In fact, it Makes the Whole Thing even Worse!!! mainly because the Suitmation is Horrible because it is so Goofy and Inept!!! and Thankfully, the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS" Factually proves that in any Way that exists. Now, I heard in some Podcast-Video in RUclips that Adam Wingard himself revealed that the CGI of 2021's "GODZILLA vs KONG" would improve on the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", being more "akin" to the Well-crafted CGI of 2014's "GODZILLA" and even to the Underrated CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND"! BUT NO. instead, we got an Inept CGI that looks even Worse than what we Previously got in 2019: the Giant-Monsters moving even Faster (look at the Colorful Battle between King Kong and Godzilla in Hong Kong), sometimes the Giant-Monsters seems to be more Smaller than what they Are (For Example, when they Taking King Kong off of Skull Island and there's a Huge Shot of him sitting on the Boat, King Kong is said to be 102 Meters tall in this Movie yet in this Very Shot King Kong still seems to be 31 Meters Tall just like in 1973 - THAT'S AIN'T GOOD FILMMAKING, FOLKS)... hell, the CGI looks even Unfinished in some Places, like during the Colorful battle between King Kong and Godzilla we can see in some Point that King Kong's Arm easily going through a Building without any Impact at all like it's no Material at all. so yeah, maybe Adam Wingard said that the CGI of 2021's "GODZILLA vs KONG" would've improve on the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", be more "akin" to the Well-crafted CGI of 2014's "GODZILLA" and even to the Underrated CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND", but instead we got an Ugly-looking CGI that looks even more Stupidly Incompetent than the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS". and Man... I cannot even Imagine how Terrible would be the CGI of the Upcoming 2024 Sequel. I'm honestly afraid that they would Bring back the Suitmation from the Japanese movies to this Film for the Sake of Fan Service for Toxic Fans.
really? I thought I was the only one who was annoyed by the discrepancy between the movement of monsters and the physics around them with their size and mass. and even despite this, there is no illusion of reality, unlike the same Godzilla of 1998, and Kong 2005, where they really worked on the physics of monsters in great detail

Intellectually, this new culture is legitimated by a number of loosely connected ideologies- leftover Marxism, feminism and other sexual identity doctrines, racial and ethnic separatism, various brands of therapeutic gospels and of environmentalism. An underlying theme is antagonism toward Western culture in general and American culture in particular. A prevailing spirit is one of intolerance and a grim orthodoxy, precisely caught in the phrase "political correctness.” ― Peter L. Berger
The history of political correctness is more complex, first emerging in Communist terminology as a policy concept denoting the orthodox party line of Chinese Communism as enunciated by Mao Tse-Tung in the 1930s. This we may call the hard political or literal sense. It was then borrowed by the American New Left in the 1960s, but with a more rhetorical than strictly programmatic sense, before becoming adopted and current in Britain. It is essentially a modern coinage by a minority, deriving from politically correct, dating from about 1970.
“Fascism” has followed the same semantic pattern, being transformed from its strict Italian political origins to its broader sense of dictatorship and conformity. Roger Scruton has a notable essay on the topic in Untimely Tracts (1987). Today both “Puritan” and “Fascist” are, of course, highly critical terms. Paul Johnson defined political correctness as “liberal fascism” (cited in Kramer and Kimball, 1995, p. xii).
As political correctness has become more fashionable, so it has become less clearly defined, as is typical with such phrases when their currency broadens. It now covers a whole range of individual, social, cultural, and political issues, and topics as diverse as fatness, appearance, stupidity, diet, crime, prostitution, race, homosexuality, disability, animal rights, the environment, and still others. It has taken on the characteristics of a buzzword, becoming a fashionable phrase without a clear meaning, but one which nevertheless invokes certain clear responses, hostile or positive, depending on context. It is a semantic sign of orthodoxy with not one, but several party lines.
Obviously, not all of these listed issues are of equal social importance, especially in terms of values and morality. Yet often they are accorded similar weight and seriousness. Indeed “diversity,” one of the new key terms in the vocabulary, is stretched to accommodate this range of social problems and agendas.
From its first manifestations in America, political correctness has had a double agenda, being a combination of freedom and constraint. The “political” aspect involved opening up new cultural horizons, but “correctness” brought conformity in accepting new agendas, new limits on freedom of expression, and a general avoidance of certain controversial topics.
One feature of political correctness has been the replacement of cultural élitism by relativism. This is not entirely a bad thing. The days are certainly over when writers could describe themselves, as T. S. Eliot famously did, as “classicist in literature, royalist in politics, Anglo-Catholic in religion.” Yet Eliot’s damning comment on “the indomitable spirit of mediocrity” (from his 1949 play The Cocktail Party, Act I, scene ii) surely applies to much modern culture.
As early as 1936, incidentally, George Orwell first referred scathingly to a ‘Mickey Mouse universe’. Today we experience the “Disneyfication” of everything. Moreover, Roger Scruton has recently identified what he calls “absolutist relativism,” pointing out the “deeply paradoxical nature of the new relativism. While holding that all cultures are equal and judgment between them absurd, the new culture . . . is in the business of persuading us that Western culture, and the traditional curriculum are racist, ethnocentric, patriarchal, and therefore beyond the pale of political acceptability” (Scruton, 2007, p. 84).
Hence, every narrative in movies coming out of Hollywood must conform to a larger politically correct narrative of what we might call woke religion, resulting in really bad products that only care about being politically, meaning religiously, correct. Diversity and inclusion quotas, resulting in lame people getting roles that are based on skin color or political affiliation, not merit. Only white men can be villains; no black men. Women must replace men as action heroes, and all men must be some kind of lame, stooge-like, sidekicks to Mary Sue type characters. A Mary Sue is a character archetype in fiction, usually a young woman, who is often portrayed as inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers, liked or respected by most other characters, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous,.
Also endless sequels, reboots, etc. They are serving on one end as vehicles to push "the message," and on the other, they rely on nostalgia to push a message no one would otherwise buy into. It also serves as a way to destroy all that came before it, and like a dog in a new yard, warriors have to piss over everything before them to make it seem conquered.
In short, America in current era, might be more and more Godless, but its far from irreligious. And just last week or so we have seen trans shooters killing Christian children and White House promoting and protecting and covering up for trans shooters, because that is the new religion. Hollywood is just a tool to spread it far and wide, weather you like it or not. Quality of character writing, direction,VFX etc is secondary. VFX is not great but its least effected since advancements in technology are so great in other eras and there is so much money put into these movies. But they alone, cannot replace everything else.
@@KrunoslavStifter Mickey mouse is black in colour, haven't you ever played Skyrim?
Blend Special effects with vfx it's not that hard,it was done in 90s
But then again who's counting?
the 1933 version was best, as a kid that really scared me
I didn't knew it was so hard to create Kondo san
Body tracking costume duh
2005 looks more realistic
I wish Zbrush did simulations. I feel like it would handle them like it's nothing.
Zbrush is cheating a little bit with depicting all the polygons. It makes no sense at all for zbrush to do simulations, as it would be probably worse, than other software. They would have to change the core of Zbrush for that.
@@samuelmoser oh, I thought since it already does cloth simulations(sort of) it would easily take on other sims
@@M_k-zi3tn I am not the best programmer but I think it would be really hard.
How can i build king kong with millions of hair particles for Vr headsets? Blender will do it in the near Future 😊
all this hard work then a lame teenager addicted to fortnite will watch this movie and say "na so boring"
Not huge. That is just perspective and 3d camera technique.
2005 King Kong still looks better..
видно что мех не шевелится а всё что не динамическое то на плейнах так шо давай досвидания
this is what i dont understand about blender and cgi: you cant do cloth sim with to many polies, so where do´you draw the line?`do you make physics when every other mesh optimized? i mean if you need a jacket with physics, but you havent finished the breast plate below. its impossible. it just takes to long to simulate
If you screenshot cgi, it looks awesome but the movement still looks really fake.
No, that is not the case. They just use texture mapping that simulates hair.
The CGI is exellent BUT.... the movie is terrible, with a terrible script, terrible acting, a bad concept... and so... even if the CGI is great, the movie is still BAD and did not enhanced the experience at all.

Stop talking like that…
AAANNNDDD......... it all went downhill from here. Seriously tho, 2014's "GODZILLA" and 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND" has the Best-looking VFX and CGI, especially compared to the Stupidly Overrated Future Installments from 2019 and 2021 (and I got a feeling that the Upcoming 2024 Sequel will be no Exception). Like, think about it:
in 2014's "GODZILLA", Godzilla and the MUTOs felt like an Actual Realistic Creatures because their Movements fits their Size and Weight. the Movie actually Managed to make them Feel like an Actual Giant-Monsters in a Hollywood Movie. all the Destruction the MUTOs causes, the Impact that Godzilla has on the Water whenever he swims, all the Fog that been created whenever a Building gets Destroyed... NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A HOLLYWOODIC QUALITY.
Hell, even 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND", as much of a Disappointing Mediocre Product as it is, at least it is Still incredible to look at. King Kong still got an Impact on the Mountains whenever he lands on Them, the Impact that he got on the Water when he hunted those Squids, the Final Battle, the Way how Ramarak walks through the Jungle in search of the Human Characters... it is still Incredible-looking. sure, unlike 2014's "GODZILLA", the CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND" has it's own Hiccups here and there, but for most of the Time it is still Phenomenal.
But then you get to a Massively Overrated Big Pile of Shit like 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", where they threw all the Realistic-looking CGI out of the Window in order to make the Giant-Monsters look more "Accurate" to the Japanese Movies, where they felt less like Hollywood CGI Monsters and more like Man in Rubber-Suits. the CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS" looks so Incompetent because the Monsters are moving too Fast when in some Point it looks less like CGI and more like Suitmation. seriously, it looks like Michael Dougherty made the Giant-Monsters to move so Fast on purpose in order to Reference in a very Fan Service-y way the Terrible Overpraised Suitmation of the Japanese Movies. and I know that Many Godzilla Fans are like "sUiTmAtIoN iS fAr MoRe ReSpEcTfUl, TrAdItIoNaL aNd HoNoRaBlE tO tHe SoUrCe-MaTeRiAl MoViEs Of JaPaN"... Guys, just because the Live-Action adaptation is More Traditional and Accurate to the Source Material doesn't means it's Good. In fact, it Makes the Whole Thing even Worse!!! mainly because the Suitmation is Horrible because it is so Goofy and Inept!!! and Thankfully, the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS" Factually proves that in any Way that exists.
Now, I heard in some Podcast-Video in RUclips that Adam Wingard himself revealed that the CGI of 2021's "GODZILLA vs KONG" would improve on the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", being more "akin" to the Well-crafted CGI of 2014's "GODZILLA" and even to the Underrated CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND"! BUT NO. instead, we got an Inept CGI that looks even Worse than what we Previously got in 2019: the Giant-Monsters moving even Faster (look at the Colorful Battle between King Kong and Godzilla in Hong Kong), sometimes the Giant-Monsters seems to be more Smaller than what they Are (For Example, when they Taking King Kong off of Skull Island and there's a Huge Shot of him sitting on the Boat, King Kong is said to be 102 Meters tall in this Movie yet in this Very Shot King Kong still seems to be 31 Meters Tall just like in 1973 - THAT'S AIN'T GOOD FILMMAKING, FOLKS)... hell, the CGI looks even Unfinished in some Places, like during the Colorful battle between King Kong and Godzilla we can see in some Point that King Kong's Arm easily going through a Building without any Impact at all like it's no Material at all. so yeah, maybe Adam Wingard said that the CGI of 2021's "GODZILLA vs KONG" would've improve on the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS", be more "akin" to the Well-crafted CGI of 2014's "GODZILLA" and even to the Underrated CGI of 2017's "KONG: SKULL ISLAND", but instead we got an Ugly-looking CGI that looks even more Stupidly Incompetent than the Incompetent CGI of 2019's "GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS".
and Man... I cannot even Imagine how Terrible would be the CGI of the Upcoming 2024 Sequel. I'm honestly afraid that they would Bring back the Suitmation from the Japanese movies to this Film for the Sake of Fan Service for Toxic Fans.
really? I thought I was the only one who was annoyed by the discrepancy between the movement of monsters and the physics around them with their size and mass. and even despite this, there is no illusion of reality, unlike the same Godzilla of 1998, and Kong 2005, where they really worked on the physics of monsters in great detail
All that for the worst King Kong movie...
Too bad the character design is still ugly
honestly no one cares
Why did you click on the video? Also there are a ton of people interested in this. The corridor crews Videos breaking down vfx all get millions of views each.
@@gavinderulo12 no one cares about a gorilla with millions of RTX 4090Ti MAX settings 240 pfs cgi hairs. if Hollywood kept using practical affects in movies with solid stories and good characters with 0 lgbt+ propaganda people would appreciate the industry more, everything now is low effort cheap lazy cgi, even walls in rooms are cgi. no one cares about the Rock with his fake muscles and his fake ape friend.
I've always wondered where king kong goes to poop. and why doesn't he have a penis?
