When hi tech bio medical engineers have to design the way a real heart works in simulation on a computer, they actually design the real functioning heart in 3D to study its complexity, not simply a visual interpretation of one. It takes exponentially more computing power to accomplish real world functioning simulations, and it is extraordinarily difficult and time consuming to achieve even the most modest results. Recreating what simply 'looks' like a functioning structure in 3D is a cake walk for these guys in comparison to what their brains are usually paid to do. It is still just the illusion of life, no matter how many texture maps you throw on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-16968560891252154222010-12-30T16:45:35.812-08:002010-12-30T16:45:35.812-08:00Although you probably never were.Although you probably never were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-8076579376239961202010-12-30T13:48:48.111-08:002010-12-30T13:48:48.111-08:00I'll confess I was blown away by the images on...I'll confess I was blown away by the images on the big screen.

Looking at the success of movies like The Town, Social Network and now True Grit, and large success of quality animated films this year, ex. toy story 3, HTTYD, Despicable Me and Tangled, It's evident that the majority of the movie going public are hungry for some quality cinema. <br /><br />Sure big blockbuster flicks will still do well, Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man etc, but we're seeing more and more of these films fall to the lower budgeted, quality story and character driven material.<br /><br />I have no idea if what I just wrote relates in any way to the article in question. However I hold the right to my opinions albeit in context or not. Besides this blog isn't exactly The New York Times of blogs.
