This article was about how WETA Studio went about bringing the last Hobbit movie "The Battle of the Five Armies" to life. WETA showed off some of there tools they used to create the army sequences. This including their render engine "Manuka" and a lighting tool "Gazebo". Using these tools they were able to create some humongous army sequences. And created tools to help Director Peter Jackson decide how thing would play out. Next they explained how complex the Smaug sequence was. Pretty much 90% of the scene was CGI and made with WETA's tools. Theirs even complex systems for stuff like Smaug's wings. And the article even states that their Army tool was built inside Maya. So when will we get access to that tool eh?
First of all I just want to say how hilarious it was how upset that guy was that the movie wasn't nominated for the Oscars. That just goes to show you a pretty film, doesn't make a good one. I have actually seen this movie and I thought it was alright. The CGI was pretty good and the story was....acceptable. But there where a few things wrong with it like how freaking perfect Legolas is, which is stupid. ( I don't really like that guy) But yeah good job WETA on the effects. If the effects where bad on this movie, then it would have been pretty awful I'll say that much.
