Interesting, it looks pretty hot but the style they are using is a little weird if you ask me. I would they would have gone for a more velvety feel to the skin, as it stands it's more waxy or plasticy looking... anyhows, three cheers for cinema!

Seen the movie and I liked/hated it. :eek:

There was lots of stuff in there that I thought was done in Cinema 4D, a lot of it was without question 2.5D stuff, similiar to what Janine was doing a couple of months ago with the mountain camera projection tutorial.

Beautiful concept, characters a little stiff, but impress that Cinema was involved and to such a large extent.

It's good for effects the same as Van Helsing was, but not much content IMHO.

The affects are mind blowing in the movie. I liked/hated it as well. Disliked the story since it was aimed at lower age kids but liked the graphics. Its amazing on some parts of the movie.

Awesome!

C4D is certainly getting popular! :D

Can't wait till it becomes as big as Maya/Max! :D
