3D Observation

OK, I watched some movie throughout the week when I had the time. It was Polar Express. This movie was created utilizing the program that we use here in class. This movie was absolutely mind blowing, when I first saw the movie I didn't think anything of it but while going through this program and realizing how much time and effort the designers took to create this film is just simply amazing.

From watching through out the movie I noticed a lot of use of instances. I have learned through trial and error that creating instances of an object rather then actually just copying it can make the whole piece move with more ease as the program doesn't have to calculate all of the objects but just one. This can be very helpful on a time crunch situation.

I noticed all of the detail that the designers put forth in this, From the wavy grass on the ground to the hair on all of the characters. It was just mind blowing. The use of lighting to create specialty effects caught my eye during the beginning of the movie.
