Would you say that the CGI of Moff Tarkin in Rogue One was well done?

Uncanney valley nightmare fuel

Actually very good, unless you're an autist

Well done for being the first to really do it in this capacity. It's not perfect but it's a good first step.
Tarkin paved the way for this.

I thought it was impressive at the time and still did not have a problem with it. Leia was more jarring but that’s because she had just died

This technology is Satanic and Anti-art to its core. Disney should burn down.

It was shit like all CGI

The technology is exactly the same for this kind of stuff for a long time now, it all comes down to time, execution and effort.
Villeneuve and MPC the visual effects company literally worked for an entire year just on that single Rachael shot alone, while with Disney there was probably a lot of people forced to do it in a small amount of time. Also the lighting is far better suited for such work in the BR2049 scene than in the Rogue One scenes.

And the borderline cartoonish CG on Princess Leia (especially when compared to something like this) shows how the "smooth skin" really doesn’t change things that much

Has anybody else done better with a face that old and relying solely on old footage cause the actor passed away? It's a chasm of difference from recreating a very young, smooth face

they should have had him on screen a lot less, or at least keep in the dark more.

>implying it was good

Couldn't even get an actor that remotely sounded like Cushing.

You know I meant BR-2049. Sue me, I'm stoned. Thank you for the correction, bullet, and cultural enrichment.

I think you will find better work in private portfolios but those were created by artists with nearly unlimited time. But outside of that - no.

That clip is just a tech demo. For the film they motion captured and actress and drew sean young's face on top of her performance. It's literally the same task as tarkin.

She didn't do anything, she was literally a robot. Tarkin was attempting to be charismatic, that female was a moving doll.

>cgi is what gets "developed" in the last 20 years
>no animatronics
imagine if nowadays we could make robots of any dead actor

I'd say that for an IP belonging to a multi-gajillion dollar company, I expected they'd put more effort into it. It still feels like a video game cutscene to me.

Did you even watch the film? She went through a myriad of emotions while trying to make Deckard remember their love. Went from longing to rejection in mere seconds

>a myriad of emotions

Why would I do that

Not being a Star Wars fan I didn't know who he was and I had no doubt he was an actor. Only afterwards someone told me it was 100 CGI. So yes I'd say it was well done.

imagine being the kind of person that would actually defend the massive technical gap between tarkin and rachael

actually thinking it was done well means you're the autists, John, since your lack of being able to see the nuances and subtleties of facial expressions means that the CGI garbage that was Tarking in R1 was deemed "good" by your handicapped brain

this. we're still a long time away from close up, foolproof facial CGI

It’s okay but I’d rather he not be in at all instead of having Disney parading his cold corpse around like a prop for some member berries.

It was ok, but something about the eyes and mouth seemed off. They should have just stuck with glimpsing his reflection in the window.

Not really. The voice was off too.

This is just objectively false. Say what you will about the Tarkin and Leia spots Rogue One has the best CGI in the franchise.

The digital one looks a little long in the face and a bit to "shiny?" on the skin texture.

Doesnt look that much better

His nose bridge is thinner and the distance between his lips and nose is increased. But I was surprised when I saw him

"I don't want to sound gloomy, but at some point of your lives, every one of you will notice that you have in your life one person, one friend whom you love and care for very much. That person is so close to you that you are able to share some things only with him. For example, you can call that friend, and from the very first maniacal laugh or some other joke you will know who is at the other end of that line. We used to do that with him so often. And then when that person is gone, there will be nothing like that in your life ever again."

Saruman

I thought he looked pretty jarring. They should have kept his face in the reflection.

I don't understand how people think he looked so much better than Leia. She looked entirely lifelike to me

About the love of his life:

"Since Helen passed on I can't find anything; the heart, quite simply, has gone out of everything. Time is interminable, the loneliness is almost unbearable and the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that my dear Helen and I will be reunited again some day. To join Helen is my only ambition. You have my permission to publish that ... really, you know, dear boy, it's all just killing time. Please say that."

Makes me cry every fucking time.

>She looked entirely lifelike to me
Facial blindness and autism.

>In his autobiography, Cushing implies that he attempted suicide on the night of his wife's death by running up and down stairs in the vain hope that it would induce a heart attack. He later stated that this had simply been a hysterical response borne out of grief, and that he had not purposely attempted to end his life; a poem left by Helen had implored him not to die until he had lived his life to the full, and he had resolved that to commit suicide would have meant letting her down. Cushing's colleagues of that period commented on his faith and his conviction that his separation from his wife was only temporary.

Do you honestly legitimately think so?

No. Perhaps the best they could do at the time, but it looked really uncanny.

Beat thing about this, is knowing that in every scene where it did not show his full body he was walking around barefoot because the shoes for the costume sucked

Like how robert would hide food around the set of the marvel movies is and just start eating on it when he did a scene and they kept it in

It's unequivocal.

That is not anywhere near Uncanny Valley.

isn't it a little disrespectful to CGI a dead guy into a movie? i wonder how the family felt

That's quite well done.

Top was done by the Americans, bottom by a British visual effects studio MPC. No wonder many Hollywood films have been using British visual effect studios over recent years.

No. Even in this screenshot, compare the way his costume drapes and the way the plastic ornaments on his chest line up. The CGI version is too clean. The real Cushing flitted about, using a cascade of tiny gestures and twitches, none of which were reproduced in the sterile CGI.

Cushing and Lee (and Price) were the best of bros.

Kill yourself mouse shill, it was fucking garbage

So you're saying it's not realistic at all?

I got banned for calling out how bad it was when it came out.

>inb4 muh sci-fi realism

There's a difference between science-fiction and poorly executed special effects.

Agree here

It had been a couple of years since watching ANH so Tarkin didn’t look so jarring

But because Carrie was recently in TFA and promoting it + dead it was a noticeable but still not too bad

My sister didn't know he or the guy on Mustfar in Vaders castle was CG. When I told her she was blown away.

I don't think so. But this CGI is awful because it looks like an older/sicker Cushing.

I hope you get cancer you fucking faggot cocksucker

>the guy on Mustfar in Vaders castle was CG.
Dumb fuck

I did
But now in remission

Thanx cock gobbler

What challenges have you been faced with?
Besides rolling out of bed or trying to touch your toes

Considering it's one of the first attempts at recreating an actor, it's pretty good. We should bare in mind that the de aging thing, as much as it is impressive, is still working on top of the actual actor your are deaging. This is constructing a dead actor.

The model was based off a scan of a face mold from Top Secret, which was made years later. Peter Cushing really deteriorated quickly after his wife died.

No. It became more noticeable as the movie went on. They should've used him as a hologram for the necessary scenes.

I didn’t even notice the first time I watched it, I just assumed he was still alive. Then I realize how retarded that would be because it is a 50-year-old movie and that guys already like 90 years old. The second time I wash it I noticed something was a little off but still pretty good

No, especially because the voice made it clear it was Hansen off of Holby

Looking at the actor who played him I think they would have been better off just trying to recreate Tarkin with better makeup and not bother with CGI at all.

Hopefully it starts metastasizing again. You're human garbage and deserve death.

you should stop wallowing in your ignorance you fucking faggot.

I could live with the CGI Cushing, but the voice coming out of him just didn't sit right and distracted even more.

you need glasses.
