Honestly the forests in Oblivion are more note worthy than the forests in Incredibles.
Incredibles
Oblivion
Not a film but if your able to run a forest that amazing in a game that is definitely more not worthy than a long rendering film.

Re: Cars...

I don't like the oblivion forests. all they are are cylinders with a plethora of 2d leave sprites, impressive fo a game, but nothing compared to the Incredibles' forests.
i might say that the incredibles was showcasing refractions (heat off the lava, the girl's glowy orb things, water) but maybe not. I'm kinda going from memory here. I personaly loved the hair, first human hair i ever saw and thought "wow." another thing could be the human modelling. It's true that they are cartoonish, but the way they are rigged is amazing. the motions are so smooth and natural, mostly. Seriously, How would YOU set up the skeleton for the stretchy girl (helen)? max doesn't have any character rigging functions for stretch, far as I know. The incredibles didn't have one thing that stood out to me, but i think it really took alot to another level.

Re: Cars...

I got it! Its particle effects. One of the last scenes when Buddy's plane smashes into the incredibles family's house the smoke from the explosion was amazing. It was until a couple of years latter when dreamworks could replicate it in "Over the hedge." Also the fire scene in the "Incredibles" looked amazing too.

Re: Cars...

Well, I finally saw Cars, and I agree it was amazing. If anything, this movie was entirely about reflections. However, some of the scenery stuff was amazing. The only real complaint I had was that a lot of the distant scenery looked too good -- the fact that it was so sharp and detailed made it look really fake. That said, the close up stuff was amazing. The scene when Lightning and Sally go driving through the woods is probably the most photorealistic thing I've seen in a Pixar movie (if you ignore the cartoonish talking cars).

Oh, and John Ratzenberger fans should make sure to stay through the credits!

Yup. I just saw Over The Hedge last night, and I kept looking for the different particle effects. It was done very well. The hair/fur on the animals was awesome too. Although I still haven't gotten around to seeing Cars yet...

Re: Cars...

yeah, Over the hedge was great, the particles and fur was amazing! I could never do that . lol. I did see one error though. for like a fraction of a second, one of the characters moved back slightly, and his eyballs lagged behind. I would think that they would have linked the eyes to the skeleton, but I geuss not. I still haven't seen cars yet. I probably will eventually

You must have the eyes of an eagle with binoculars. I thought the entire movie was flawless.

Doesn't that count as a theater? Buy a pre-release and watch it at home.

You shouldn't download movies off the Internet, its unethical. Plus you don't get the cool extra stuff that comes with DVDs that only us geeks would watch

Huzzah, there is a chance I might not be the only one who watches the special features before they watch a rented movie!

Re: Cars...

Ive also bought my sister Kingdom hearts for her birthday (shes a junior in college), she and I get along like two peas in a pod. So were hanging out one day she finally beats the game. As were watching the credits, John Williams pops up as the music director and coordinator. Also my sister recognizes a few other famous people who lent their voices to the characters. Here I was expecting to see names like Yoshia Yomishaki, Yoyshia Nominati, or other random Japanese names. How much money did Disney put into the game?

Also the second Kingdom hearts (which I also bought for my sister. $50 ) I marvel at how much keying they put into every little cut scene. (I must say better then the last one). Disney yet again dumps hours and millions into making this game. (How did they get the voice for Maleficent? I thought the actor who played here is dead.)

I know this thread is about Cars but since were talking about good computer animation I thought Kingdom Hearts would fit this. The game is almost like watching a Disney movie with all the cut scenes and Disney character jumping around.

(no really my sister plays the game. And I enjoy sitting with her and we talk about stuff.)

I think that was "Toy Story," actually, but I'm prejudiced. "Toy Story" is the "Citizen Kane," "Casablanca," and "Cocoanuts" of CG animation. (My vote goes to "Beauty and the Beast" for traditional animation.)

I saw "Cars" last night. Oh. My. What a beautiful film. The desert plants were my favorite part. Along with the shiny cars. OK, the desert plants and the reflectivity on the cars were my two favorite parts. And Bonnie Hunt. I love Bonnie Hunt. My three favorite things...

My least favorite thing was the script. Too long, too cliched, and too predictable. I thought it was more "Bug's Life" than "Toy Story." Even though it is a good but not great movie, it is more than worth what I paid to see it in a theater. No television, no matter how large the screen, is going to look as good as it will in your local megaplex.

Go see it now.
