imagine making a full muscle, bone and tissue sim entirely in geo nodes

The revenant looks so good because people often associate longer lenses to “cinema” and carefully controlled camera motion on a dolly or steadicam to “cinema” they used a very wide lens which seems more like iPhone or GoPro footage that is psychologically seen as “not staged”

This was so cool, I think you should make videos of Tissue and Ziva too bro

Super cool. I can imagine someone making a cgi miniature pony and making it look real.

the only thing left that blender really needs to stand above autodesk, is an indepth and robust muscle simulation system. a Ziva Dynamics equivalent in blender. just as powerful and physics based. that's the only thing left to make blender a real contender for realistic character/creature effects

Prevent animals from being too directed: Life of Pi's tiger, it was not that it didn't move right or didn't look realistic but it was too directed. Meaning, it was directed to do a certain thing and it did it like an actor, didn't act like a wild tiger it acted too economical not a step was wasted but that took me out of the movie. eg: Cats have to move their heads to look elsewhere to prevent a latent image in their vision for example.

So like you mentioned invincible animal CGI, if in case I want to put 60min of jungle animals that are attacking the humans who lives near to the jungle which includes 20 elephants, squirrels, jungle dogs, 5-8 jaguars, 3 black panthers, one big tiger, 20+ deer, some other jungle animals.

So, what do you think about how much money it will cost?
Basically I don't have any idea about CGI but I have a clear vision of the attacking sequence of how every animal attacks and moves.

Please can you help me out on this.
What are the initial things I should know before hiring or asking any CGI/VFX team to work on my sequence?
Please share with me any reference you have and help me on how much it will cost.
Thanks.

Don't know but somehow animals, no matter budget, always look of in movements, it looks like a computer trying to be random and organic but isnt. It just looks like "staged random "moments, not like organic spontanious movements 😮😢❤

Too bad they didn't try Paleodocumentary for cgi of them

[TheFitnessAcademy]

I'd say blender can do this. Not just as good as Ziva Dynamics or Houdini

[AlexNguyen_Design]

The secret is Blender because Blender is free and can do everything 😉
