"AVATAR" step into another world

Many of u may wondering why am i posting about a movie in a site related to computer tips.Well to speak in technical terms this movie was made using CG (computer graphics) so why not of talking about the movie.Let's take a sneakpeak into the AVATAR world.AVATAR  is a cameo created by James cameron.This movie is really a eyecandy .Cameron decided a decade ago to make this movie but he couldnot step further due to the lack of technology then.After watching lord of the rings-return of the king,he was convinced that he can make this AVATAR movie.This movie was a $230 million baby.

To give scenes the realistic look Cameron along with his cameramen Vince  pace and Patrick campbell made a pace/cameron fusion camera system to capture image the same way human eye does.He then used a virtual camera to fly around in the scifi world to record any shot of the N'avi and merged the scenes with the real world footage.If u want to see James interview with NewYork times click here .Here am gonna show how these charecters were actually sculpted using zbrush

See the magic of computer graphics .Here you can see the actress in motion sensor suit on the right hand side and the CGI on the left hand side the motion sensors maps her actions to her CGI(computer generated imagery)

The avatar birds were simply awesome creatures .It was a superb experience watching actors riding them .Iam going to show you how these birds are made.

Notice jake is sitting on the bird trying to ryde it.wait for more avatar secrets.......
