Prediction: Mountain dew will announce a winner. Then, they will have to demonstrate/prove it. Then, computer analysis will show that they miscounted/or the number will be disputed.
- mattmaroon 6y agoI was thinking about this also but I assume all but maybe a small countable number were CGI so it would be really easy for them to get right, especially if they know it’s important.
- jakear 6y agoUnless there was a CGI mesh in the scene, but due to how everything laid out it never actually got any screentime. In which case there would be some debate as to whether it should be considered.
- pontifier 6y agoI believe that the way the rules lay out the definition of what counts as a bottle is very specific. I'm sure that they have a custom ray tracer that rendered the scene. Every bottle has 2 parts that must be seen at some point in the video(not just at the same time), and reflections count again. This implies that they have a big grid, with all the bottles(top and bottom) on one axis, and all the reflective surfaces on the other. Every time a ray hits a bottle, check the appropriate boxes for the combo of bottle and surface. After rendering you'll have the ground truth answer they are looking for.
