VFX Artists React to RUSSIAN Bad & Great CGi 27 - Summary

Summary

The Corridor Crew reacts to visual effects in Russian movies, starting with "T-34" and its impressive tank simulations, muzzle flashes, and slow-motion particle simulations. They then watch "Guardians," a Russian superhero film, and discuss its anime-like fight scenes, physics-defying stunts, and the challenges of creating convincing CGI bears. The crew praises the movie's commitment to its over-the-top story and visuals, even if they're not always realistic. They also react to a VFX breakdown of another movie, marveling at the detailed destruction simulations, procedural building generation, and city traffic algorithms. Finally, they discuss the advantages of using Houdini software for procedural building generation and the immense processing power required to render such complex visuals.
