Needless to say, all of the VFX work you’re seeing here is very much work in progress temp shots. There’s some really amazing stuff coming later this year.
LOL I thought the Orc that popped up on the bastion looked a little “pale/flat”
Regardless it that looks fantastic 🙂
Nice except a Smaug head.
What I also don’t like in first Hobiit film is a fire,smoke and RBD details
(at the beginning of film it’s obvious).
Looks like Weta give them less attention then textures, MP etc.
When Smaug attack city the smoke looks undetailed and when he hit a tower
it’s fall with couple voronoi pieces without nice displacement and secondary
debris.
Motion blur can hide of course some problems but not in first plan shots.
The opening sequence of the first film was added 3 weeks before the film was supposed to be completed – it was a very fast-paced rush to get those shots done, especially while so much of the FX department was also in the final crunch on “Man of Steel.”
