The Incredible Hulk CGI Thread

[Tyrinus]

If you had the color scheme of the new Hulk on Ang Lee's design, that I think would look best.

 

[Asgard]

Ang Lee's Hulk just looks more 'real'. The new one looks like plastic.

Yeah, how do they fix this?

And is it possible to do so in two months?

Yeah I kinda wish you could smash them together somehow, now that would be the Hulk

 

[Valerie_f4]

Hehe, no purple pants!

 

[Asgard]

Nice one, EB.

Well, all the idiots got to me so I'll try to slap some sense. To those saying the CGI sucks and Ang's Hulk is better, here is a visual comparison:

Which is better? You decide! If you decide wrong and say Ang's is better, then go back to watching Ang's Hulk, X3, Spidey 3, Catwoman, and whatever else you like.

Ang's Hulk is an insecure monster. Leterrier's Hulk is a heroic beast. Ang's Hulk is made of green play-doh. Leterrier's Hulk is gamma powered flesh.

To remind why this movie needs to be made:

Wow. Ang's Hulk really does look better. Don't get me wrong, the new Hulk looks goddamn fantastic but man...They did a fantastic job with Ang Lee's Hulk that I don't think is ever going to be topped in sheer quality. I mean that second before last picture looks like I can actually poke the guy in the shoulder.

One of the only problems I had with the ang lee hulk was that he was just too tall. And in some shots like the one where he's standing looking down at betty it looked odd IMO

Yeah I felt the same after the trailer, like i said in other posts, I feel Ang's was better intergrated into the environment (at least going off this trailer, to be fair, those are finished images and this trailer is far from complete cgi)

On the other hand this new hullk design is what I think most people like more, the more ripped look, with the deeper color, more stylish but not as realistic. That being said, we have to wait until June to make a fair comparison. Going by what we have though, the cgi will be more than serviceable and easily good enough to tell the story. Actually I'm surprised it's this good, I was bashing Rhythm & Hues not too long ago, but its rather well done for what it is

 

[hame4479]

the design isn't better, but those ilm cg shots from 3 years ago are way more real looking than tih shots. Just my opinion.

 

[Sava]

lol, i thought i was gonna get killed for saying that Ang's Hulk had better skin. the design of the new one is close to amazing IMO but his skin is WAYYYYYYY to plastic looking. Ang's Hulk had skin that made him look so real.

 

[Prefix]

Yep the skin texture is a real downgrade.

 

[Spade]

I don't think he looked plastic at all. That roaring shot wasn't the best (his eyes and the lighting don't look all that hot), but at least in the others you can see that he's porous and glistens the right way.

In Ang's film, it looks as if his skin has perfectly stretched to the exact extent that it needs to. It's as if there was no massive mass that suddenly exploded into Banner's normal physique. Look at how there's enough to sag as he bends to look at Betty. Plus, the grime on him screeched "computer-generated;" it's like what coated skin might look like without texture.

In this film, it looks like Bruce's skin is being strained by the muscles beneath. That gives it a feeling as if the Hulk is a larger-than-life creature, and makes up for the height difference between the two films. You can see how actual sinew might look like when you look at his frame due to the creases and aforementioned straining. It's complimented by the pulsating vein look, which only makes me more impressed by the work on his appearance here.

All in all, I think fellow fans of the 2003 movie are just getting defensive over the idea that things have advanced since then. I was okay with the first film for a while, but there's no reason to gripe over what's a non-existent issue just to defend that film. They're both incredible; I just think that Leterrier's crew seems to have a better grasp on what the Hulk would look like in the real world.

Interesting theory. Incorrect though. I don't like the 2003 movie. But it still had great CGI. From what I have seen, the CGI for this movie isn't so great. Why is it 5 years later we don't see any improvements, instead it gets worse?

If the CGI is still unfinished, they have work to do.

this has nothing to do with me liking the old film, you think people out there will think like you?... that they will go, "oh, its just a way of showing that Hulk 's muscles are so great, that even his skin cant hold him"... nope, they are going to have a go at the CGI, they are going to s**t all over it like they did with the last film, its plain really, the old Hulk had skin that looked real, even if it made him look chubby, they looked real, this one doesnt. Take the skin off the old one, put it on this one and you have, IMO, a Hulk that looks better than 03's.

 

[Wolfman]

The new Hulk looks gorgeous! He does look like a bit like clayfigure, but I've always loved claymations and the creations of Ray Harryhausen and such, so I'm very happy with the look of this Hulk. Oh and The Abomination looked good too.

 

[Spade]

I thought much of the CGI in Hulk looked fake, as much as I liked the film. That Hulk seemed to have no difficulty moving with so much weight on his tendons, his integration with the environment was not as clean as what I've seen here, and he moved with the CG fluidity I've come to expect from blockbuster films that have to cut corners. Folks have complained about how the shadows here are being used to hide things, but I'd love for someone to look at the Hulk dog fight and tell me that the shadows were just to establish mood.

Here, he seems to be the antithesis of that. I've looked at real physiques, and while the eyes and their crystal clarity bug me the skin textures, muscle, and vascularity are far more in line with a living organism than the solid, pristine Hulk we got from Ang.

 

[ironwez20]

ang lees hulk look likw what rosie odonnel would look like if she took steroids, this hulk blows my mind the viens,thehair just genious

 

[BatJeff7786]

The real question still remains.....where does he by those insanely stretchy pants (especially Ang Lee's version...a whole leg is bigger than Jennfier Connelly!)

 

[Judson Caspian]

Personally, I love the makeover. Yes it could do with some refinements (and I'm sure there will be some) but damn it, if this aint the Hulk I don't know what is:

Paul McCartney in Hulk form. Lol.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Well for me:

Model: The actual model is much more stylised. I like the sinewy undertexture, and the face looks spot on. The only grip about the model is the lack of beef. He looks super toned, yes, but he's a little too thin for my liking. But VERY happy with the face.

Texture: The one area were these effects struggle. Both Hulk and Abomination suffer from the "dappled reflection texture" that is being used to death for metal textures in next gen gaming at the moment. However, this would probably be the easiest thing to correct before the release date.

Animation/Mo-Cap: This is what impresses me massively in the trailer. The running, the carnage created by Abomination. Hulks face in the close up is top notch animation and the way the Hulk's hair is moving round as he runs looks pretty awesome.

 

[Kirmit]

Here's a manip poster.

See now look at the skin in this one, looks exactly the same texture as the 03 hulk's, the one where he's flexing does look a little bit plastic but that's one scene and they could still be working on it. I think the CGI is top notch the only thing that needs brushing up on is his skin texture in that scene and abomb is perfect imo.

 

[November Rain]

ahahahahahahahahahhaha

after all this wait, and the hulk and abomination both suck....

look at the size of them, they are both as big as ang's hulk as welll

ahhahahahhahahaha

9ft my arse....

 

[Sava]

Hulk looks 9ft, Abom looks 15 or 16ft
