The examples in this article are surprising because I don't think they look very good.
While the CGI in the Star Wars example isn't amazing, it's no worse than the Ewok that has fabric folds showing on its costume.
In the second example, the devil is too human looking so all I see is a person in makeup (good makeup) where Steppenwolf looks completely alien.
Finally, the dune example gives a feeling of being truly out in the desert, where the Lawrence of Arabia looks like they're filming in a yard and the colors look oversaturated compared to what I've seen in real life deserts.

- sleepybrett 5y agoMy understanding there are some 'matte paintings' (cgi or paints) in the distance (to get that awesome horizon), there is some crazy color grading happening, (flattening the colorspace considerably i'm sure), and there are some cgi overlays happening (whenever you see spice in the air or any kind of duststorm). So yes those shots, even though they were shot in actual desert are doctored heavily and perhaps can be considered cgi on the whole. That said the whole article reads as 'old art better than new art' 'old man yells at cloud'.
