- Cthulhu_ 6y agoDon't know for sure; if you have a good 3d model you can pose it infinitely, plus when it comes to Disney or Marvel movies, most of the background / environment is CGI as well so putting an animatronic in a CGI environment doesn't make much sense. Finally, I can imagine the freedom of movement is a lot less in these compared to CGI models.
- Hokusai 6y agoAt least the physics look better. Much of the current CGI looks weightless and frictionless, like walking in ice. I guess that it looks more real than CGI because is real and real forces act over the robots.
- gumby 6y agoProbably not, even though you get a lot of physics “computation” for free, simply because you’re managing physical stuff that gets dirty, jams, needs lubrication, can be stolen etc. OTOH it’s the only way to do headset-free AR which is impossible with cgi!
