Another Video Game

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is another game that has amazing graphics on the PS3. The city scapes and terrains that have been modeled are really cool with good detail. I don't however like the planes in the gameplay as they look really flimsy and tacky unlike in the clips in the introduction where they look amazing.

MoreCGI

Really like the opening scene with the car handbraking. The model of the car is fantastic but disagree with the colors used on the wheels and think it spoils the look. The mechanical droid thing is pretty cool too as well as the weapons. all have a really neat finish.

CGI

This clip is awesome. although the models aren't the best there is a lot of action going on.. lots of movement and action happening really brings the models to life. especially like the part where you have the view from the cockpit of a fighter jet flying along, feels like your part of it.

Resistance2

Another new game for the PS3 that i have played on.



I really like the look of the abandoned city. Making the various objects like the buildings, cars , dead bodies etc. would be fun to make in a 3D program. Although the textures make the place come to life and have real feeling this is an area of work that i wouldn't be interested in.

CGI Promo

Found this while searching on Vimeo. Really like the way the whole structure keeps rotating whilst everything is happening. really crisp graphics and shapes. would be cool to do this type of thing for advertising.

The Watchmen

Yet another movie that i really like the CGI and effects that have been used. In this trailer i especially like the lightning, slow motion window break and when various objects/ vehicles rise up from the ground/sea. More of the type of work i would like to be involved in...

LordOfTheRings....

This video really sums up what I would like to go into at the end of my course. modeling and animating for films really appeals to me. I would prefer to do more realistic animations such as the horses in the video rather than say finding Nemo. I prefer the more real life look so it makes people actually wonder is it real? or isn't it? The video of the making of Narnia below also shows the jobs in brief too. I would really like to work as part of a team to produce something so good.

After Effects 2

I have watched a lot of the videos using after effects on the internet but they have all been tutorials as i have not been able to find sites with proper work on. here are a few clips from the tutorials that i like. once again the light streak is an effect that i really like. the raindrop video is nice and i like the perspective looking up to the sky as well as the smoke that comes off the text at the end but the video isn't of best quality and think the raindrops could be a lot better.

After Effects

Although I have not used after effects yet, i am really interested in learning how to use the software properly as some of the videos and tutorials i have watched have really grabbed my attention. this one isn't using the kind of effects that i am interested in but i really like the way that each word drops off the previous one whilst rotating around.

Killzone2

After buying killzone2 for the PS3, i was amazed at how good the graphics and modeling was. The people looked so realistic in the opening scenes and the guns, uniforms, buildings and scenery are so crisp and detailed. I really like the futuristic feel and the general look that the game has.
