A Photorealistic CGI TV Series Coming Real Soon Now

Posted by Hemos on from the ja-the-tv-is-gut dept.

ziggy_zero writes "SoulPix has revealed their project named "SoulFire", a photorealistic computer-generated TV series created entirely with 3ds max. Here's a trailer (it's in German). Looks pretty cool, better than those CGI cartoons I've seen - although definitely not even Final Fantasy quality. Note - apparently the DivX version was encoded using a weird codec that doesn't work on all players, so you might be better off getting the Quicktime version."

    I'm sorry, but this TV series is not anime. As a member of the geek community, I believe we should stand up and say "NO!" to the non-Japanese people who wish to animate stuff.

    ...the actor's guild on strike against beings that do not exist.
    That will be a triumph of surreal/dada-ism.

    Soon we'll have to deal with a computer generated version of Friends.
