I wish Corridor would credit the VFX studios more. The VFX in His Dark Materials were produced entirely by London studio Framestore, while the VFX in Game of Thrones were produced by many companies, the dragons by Image Engine and Pixomondo, and the zombie polar bear by Weta. But people move around so much in the VFX industry I'd imagine a lot of knowledge and tools are shared.

I think because they're doing a "react" series, they know very little going into these. It would be nice if they mention these things in the edit at least, though.

Beast Wars - Looking at it I recognised the textures from SoftImage 3D and the OpelGL renderer - MainFrame? Yes!!! This was rendered in real time on SGI hardware. Very limited procedurals, minimal image textures, bump mapping and no shadows or reflections. But it was real time direct to D1 digital tape then edited like any other TV footage.

I don't know how I never noticed the lack of shadows before, but dang. I thought I remembered shots of it in having shadows but looking back, they're all really clever use of baked in shadows on the textures.

Constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to watch the next episode straight away. Great acting and the animals were flawless. The only thing I noticed that was overlooked was in episode 1, when Lord Asriel is taking off in his air ship, one shot his hair is blowing furiously in the wind and then the next shot there is no movement at all.

Y’all should take a look at The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! It was released in 2005, but the cgi was way ahead of its time imo (especially Aslan)!! Huge fan of y’all, take care! :)

Beast Wars was what got me into 3D in the first place. Reading books in a language I don't know, just to learn 3D so I can make my own Beast Wars. This was made in the friggin 90-s by a tiny team of people. It's actually amazing that they managed it this good. What a great show.

His Dark Materials' CGI was created by Framestore, the same studio behind the bears in The Golden Compass.

[@EliasSchnetzer]

That's awesome how they improved! Really enjoyed the series.

[@RC-gt3lb]

Wow they really made it their mission to prove themselves then

[@danturner510]

This actually makes a lot of sense, I still think the earlier polar bears were impressive for their time and with the tonnes of reference footage the BBC surely gave them to work from (from all their Frozen Planet footage) it would make for much more accurate representation. The Frozen Planet team got so close when they filmed the bears and with such high definition cameras that it had to have contributed in terms of detail!

[@KilluaZoldyck-de1hq]

Wow, neat

[@FS-qk5uq]

When I first saw the bear I thought he had the same feeling as the one in the movie and was honestly a little surprised by how much worse the movie VFX was than I remembered. I'm gonna pretend this is the reason.

I love how they say its an HBO show, when you can quite clearly see the white BBC logo appearing in the top left corner of various shots. This logo appears when you are watching shows on the BBC iPlayer, as a Digital Onscreen Graphic, so it must have been taken from video streams on iPlayer.
