allow me to be smooth brained for a moment, are you saying it is good cgi because of the merit and inherent value of the artists involved and not as a result of nepotism?
>According to the ILM animators, Devastator is made of 52,632 pieces (more than ten times the number of individual parts in an ordinary car), 11,716,127 polygons, and 6,467 textures, and took up 32 gigabytes of computer space. If his components were laid end-to-end they would stretch 13.84 miles. All the gold ever mined in human history could build a little more than half of it.
>While rendering Devastator, one ILM animator's computer reportedly overheated, and its internal circuitry melted.
>Attending a preview of the film, Steven Spielberg is reported to have said upon seeing Devastator in Operation Firestorm, "That is fricking awesome!" Michael Bay was proud of the fact that he could make the normally well-mannered Spielberg swear.
>How did Bayformers CGI hold up so well?
No idea what you're talking about.
This is an indecipherable visual mess. The passage of time won't make it look worse because 10 years on it will still be an indecipherable visual mess. If that's what "holds up so well" means to you then rejoice that you can be satisfied with such bile.
>John Turturro was allowed to climb the pyramids during the filming of Revenge of the Fallen in Egypt. At one point, he broke down crying. When Michael Bay questioned him, he said, "You just don't get to do this in movies. You don't get to shoot in a place that's 4,000 years old."
Bay shoots all of the scenes with no pre vis or storyboarding. All in his head. Man knows what he wants. Id like to see his naysayers try and replicate anything he does and fail just like discount Michael bay did with battleship

Kids are not stupid and can distinguishing KINO from lazy attempts. I always thought the 3 Bayformers movies were ALWAYS solid action flicks, lots of fun, masterfully crafted. Esp 1 and 3, which I absolutely loved back in the day.
Le deep thinkers always try to make it seem like there’s no substance in anything unless externally showing obscure or fringe modes of thinking. They can eat shit.
Beacuse it uses real locations for most of their stuff unlike modern stuff where there is a literal green screen and the actors have to make up the environment in their head while they act.
That movie sucked and I'm sick and tired of gen-x and boomers telling me otherwise. It's fricking shit. >Orson Welles!!!
He hated the fact he took the role.
I wonder why, when they show the polygonal wireframe models compared to the rendered shot, the wireframes don't match the rendered image's models. I don't think textures can make such low poly models look suddenly photorealistic with such depth and proper forms. Maybe most of the city shots are real footage and the 3D models are just there as reference though, I don't know.
Because the CGI was limited to the robots and they wanted to make them good look. The studio didn't demand to have 80% of the movie filmed in front of a green screen and rushed to completion.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
It’s lighting
Current CGI lighting is terrible and doesn’t mesh with the scene
I bet they’re using shitty unreal engine
Bayformers has lots of problems like the human parts, camera work, writing, editing.
However, it is godsend in comparison to Bumblebee, which is a predictable story. It bored me to death.
I could only appreciate it for giving the cons more character and appeal.
The cybertron scene is all you need really.
Was the first Transformers the last of the "big" American movies?
The kind that are full of culture, (obscure) references, and iconic music.
Everything that just screams America.
God I miss it bros...
Aside from time/money/talent,
hard surfaces are much easier than creatures to render and animate realistically.
A lot of the lighting is faked and biased to speed up the renders, and anything non-organic and limited in scope (ie a machine or ship etc) is going to be less challenging than say a human or monster or entire complicated city.
The CGI was done by people who's culture doesn't have a caste system.
allow me to be smooth brained for a moment, are you saying it is good cgi because of the merit and inherent value of the artists involved and not as a result of nepotism?
He says the CGI was done by white people, and not indian subhumans. So, yes, on merit.
CGI in the 2000s was made by actual special effects studios and not pajeets

kino
too bad total polygon counts don't translate into a special effect distinguishable from a crumpled aluminum can
> take picture of junkyard
Boom, finished in 0.5 seconds and I didn’t melt no computer.

How about instead of more is more to brag about storage space, you have a decent fricking design first?
>too bad total polygon counts don't translate into a special effect distinguishable from a crumpled aluminum can
Frickin THIS
beyond based

soul
Dark of the Moon is better than most MCU
>most
Frick no, it's better than all of the MCU. The MCU is in the same weight class as Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Don't disrespect Paul Blart like that
He cried because he climbed there to make a joke about giant robot ballsack
KINO
Effort and the scenes were often shot on location which meant the artist had to work with the dynamic lighting of outdoors instead of a green screen.
When Starscream or whatever is flying among the fighter jets and is transforming between mech and jet midair, fighting the jets... pure kino.
Based. Starscream in the first Transformers movie was an amazing CGI feat, also the sound design is top tier
Bay shoots all of the scenes with no pre vis or storyboarding. All in his head. Man knows what he wants. Id like to see his naysayers try and replicate anything he does and fail just like discount Michael bay did with battleship
What a Chad
The wingsuit scene was also shot on location too which was really cool

Lmao those are dumb fricking movies even by muh blockbuster standars. Get real, homosexual
You would fit in reddit better than you think.
GRANDMA DRINK YO PRUNE JUICE
Work done by professionals and given enough time.
MCU is outsourced to 16 different VFX companies and given 2-3 weeks to complete their shots.
cuz you cant see shit in the first place
This. Looks like somebody covered in glue rolled around in a bunch of random scrap bits.
Megan Fox's outfit in RotF's Egypt is KINO
I am directly underneath the enemy's scrotum
Blackout was absolute kino
Only at the military base attack. He got cucked in the city. His clone Grindor was even worse.
Tfw grindor isn't even close to Star scream real height
The most cucked cybetronian, they my boy wrong.
I had the best version of this motherfricker and it was te sickest toy I've ever had.
A Black person monkey frick stole it tho
Beacuse it uses real locations for most of their stuff unlike modern stuff where there is a literal green screen and the actors have to make up the environment in their head while they act.
man why is the sound design so bad?
Because the sound designers were Amon Tobin wannabes:
it didn't.
Are all the transformers movies good?
Shall I just start at the beginning then work my way to the end
3>1>2>4>>>>>>>5
At least watch the trilogy, 4 and 5 is up to you
this, 2 is pretty boring compared to 1 3, but it has it's kino moments
3 is a blast though
>3>1>2>4>>>>>>>5
I love it when moronic people wave their flag proudly.
You should start with this and then quit while you're ahead
Naw. Start with the tv show's first two seasons and then the movie.
That movie sucked and I'm sick and tired of gen-x and boomers telling me otherwise. It's fricking shit.
>Orson Welles!!!
He hated the fact he took the role.
>NOOOOOOOOOOO OPTIMUS WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE HUMABlack folk OVER YOUR OWN SPECIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>GIVE ME YOUR FACE!
>feeling nostalgic for this trash
is it late millenials or early zoomers doing this shit

they always looked like dog shit
I think he meant on a technical level. The CG does look better than in all the modern capeshit and star wars trash.
Megatron was an entertaining villain. Too bad Hugo was an butthole
Studios didn't know yet that people would watch literally anything without thinking
But Bayformers is the greatest turn off your brain shit I've ever seen.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
It’s lighting
Current CGI lighting is terrible and doesn’t mesh with the scene
I bet they’re using shitty unreal engine
too bad it's wasted on such atrocious designs
GIVE ME REASON
TO FILL THIS HOLE
CONNECT THE SPACE BETWEEN
LET IT BE ENOUGH TO REACH THE TRUTH THAT LIES
ACROSS THIS NEW DIVIDE
Linkin Park is good, I hate how they were memed as being bad

German here, America was so cool in those movies, especially when those soldiers were skydiving. Peak American kino.
Now I'm associating the US with BLM and trannies.
