... a rendered video, i.e. it doesn't exist.
- charlesabarnes 2y agoWhat makes you think this is a rendered video?
- ChrisClark 2y agoBecause he's seen a few 'shops in his time.
- sparky_z 2y agoThis doesn't look like a rendered video to me at all. I'm not enough of an expert to point to specific reasons, but the lighting, reflections, shadows, etc just seem 100% real to me. I feel it in my gut. You apparently disagree? Was there something in the video you think marks it out as CGI? Or do we just have differing gut instincts about it?
- joshspankit 2y ago> the lighting, reflections, shadows, etc just seem 100% real to me. I feel it in my gut. I’m the exact opposite. My gut says it’s rendered. The graininess, the odd chromatic aberrations, the shadows that are too clean, the “head” being way too physically clean (like if the modellers got sloppy with the thousands of pieces), something odd about the fps of the robot vs the fos of the background, and there’s something odd about the physics of how it gets up (yes, beyond it’s horror-movie sequence)
- ehnto 2y agoThe new video might help you see it. It is a bit funny though, the company renowned for walking robots posts a video of a robot walking and many people just can't believe it. To me it was way more surprising that they got walking (and more) working with hydraulics, a much more unwieldy and heavy technology than servos and batteries. This is obviously more refined but perhaps to me, a little less surprising and so definitely believable.
- quadsteel 2y agoNonsense, there's nothing here that betrays a CG look. This is very obviously real footage.
- joshspankit 2y agoOdd to get downvoted for adding my perspective on why it feels rendered. Even more odd to get a response like this that has certainty without any facts or debate.
- coayer 2y agoYou should watch this Corridor Digital video explaining why the Boston Dynamics videos aren’t CG: https://youtu.be/HQ1WEiMwV7Y https://youtu.be/HQ1WEiMwV7Y
- romesc 2y agothats just not in the BDs ethos. They have been the only company really trying to physically build these kinds of robust, dynamic systems for the last 3 decades (almost to a fault).
