Interesting computer animated dogfighting vid
« on: February 08, 2010, 07:01:37 AM »
Lame music, but the animation and action isn't bad. Zeros vs Dauntlesses, Wildcats and Devastators. Not as good as those little snippet vids from a while back of the Tony, N1K, and of the Ki-84 vs. the P-51, but still not bad.

Now why is it that the japs "get" how to do CGI and our movie companies dont?

Most of what I saw in that vid looks 100 times better then anything I've seen out of hollywood.
Exceptions being some of the views of the ships and the flames comming off the planes.
But as far as everything else. they "get" it.
Hollywoods stuff looks too crisp and clean, too perfect.too enhanced

Yep the music sucked but otherwise that was a pretty good animation of planes from that time period.

You simply need to look up the Final Fantasy movies made in the late 90's and see they beat the snot out of AVATAR and other cgi-movies. Its almost lifelike and without the computer 'perfection' of angles and detail.. they manually add human error after the computer finishes the art so it does not look so artificial.

You're right Drediock, they seem to 'get' how to do CGI. It's also quite clear they studied newsreels of the period. There is one shot of SBD Dauntless which looks very familar. It's a highly satisfying video even with limitations of their graphics. Now if someone could merge the artistry of the Japanese with the quality of Hollywood. What a movie that would be.

Interesting vid.

Regarding Hollywood: At the risk of being tarred and feathered; I would suggest that the BoB CGI scenes in (can barely bring myself to say it) Pearl harbor are excellent.

Anyone know what series these CGI videos are from?  The terrible Engrish has one listed as "Ace of Zero" but can't find anything on it.

I can think of one scene in pearl Harbor that was really well done.
just before the attack the planes coming through the mountains. Prior and after that.
It was too perfect. Too clean. And i think "too clean" is the right description for alot of the CGI stuff. Its so perfect it looks unnatural.

It's not surprising that the Japanese know how to manipulate CGI. After all, when it comes to creating and utilizing electronic technology, Japan always seems to be on top.

The planes and clouds and such are pretty convincing, The humans, not so much.
