Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene
Disney has come under fire after a video resurfaced showing horribly CGI-generated background actors in the movie "Prom Pact."
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Everyone mentions LOTR, but they did those by duplicating the images of the real actors, and done at such distances no discernable detail is visible.
This shit just looks awful. Regardless of what opinions anyone has on AI vs real people, nobody wants it to look ugly. This is ugly AF.
You are not understanding the difference between using AI to create the movement of the crowd, and using AI to digitize entirely new actors. They digitally duplicated the actors, and using a more video game like AI created the motion of those actors in the scene.
They talk in length about this in many commentary tracks of the actual releases of the movies.
