大家其實認為什麼CG才是好CG?

[antony lau]

以Photorealism為目標的CG是好的！一張真到photo一樣的CG我們自當然覺得“好勁”。但是我們說一張CG好的時候，系否只是看其真實度呢？idea在CG界中又多重的地位呢？CG系一種技術還系一種藝術呢？現在的CG界又系向那方向發展的呢？

[Dick Ma]

"但有時的確在硬體設備不足的情況，以致先前的創意思考受到限制，這時可能就必須有折衷的方法而非就讓它失敗下去。Un Temps Pour Elle（A Time For Her）應該不少人都已經看過，在IDN雜志24期介紹過這部三分鍾的得獎影片，由法國籍學生用3D MAX R2和After Effect完成的，在有限資源下他無法達到真實的水准，卻反而因此改追求於在真人與CG之間的感覺，運用極佳的打光創造出另一種吸引人的風格。"

Whether the CG is good or bad is not depended on the technique solely, but the scene control, story, lighting,sounds..and also for who to see this CG. I've seen some CG looks like very CG, you can recognize it at once that they were drawn by computers, but the designers did their jobs already, CG can be said as a media which expresses idea in a different but through way. If the audience or client understand what the CG said, then the CG is already a good one because the audience didn't know what is good or bad. For me, if you paid effort, time and sentiment into you CG, then this CG is already a good one because it has a 'heart' within.

For now, I am only a un-employ individual. I will build a CG that can fully show my skills and aspect. I am bad at story telling. Somehow i have to avoid showing that in my reel. I am not showing any of my weeknesses in my reel.

Not many ppl are good in "every" subject. More people involve in it will get a better result (that's for sure)

As Siegfried has said " depend on who is your target", and i would like to add "what's the perpose of your CG"

I'm absolutly agree with above opinion - "Depend on what is your target" & "what's the purpose of your CG". Nowaday, Computer graphic stands in the main element in movie. They try the excellent environment to fit in real life. "Photorealism" and "programming" techniques add the main feature to make it great. In fact, some of the CG artist would like to talk their personal feeling. That's why the short animation almost full of "Art" feel. In my personal opinion, Computer graphic is a tech not the art. BTW, it is a cool, amazing tools for presenting.

In my opinion, I can not agree good CG = realism, but I do agree realism can be a good CG. As "Siegfried" said, CG is one of a media to expresses what the artist want to show. Like a drawing. You have so many way to draw a picture. But what is good drawing/picture? I don't think you can say real = good. If you know who is ALEX ROSS. Try to see his drawing, many people say his drawing is good, is real (of course I like too!). I don't think his drawing is really real. But I can feel he can play one of his skill(Lighting) in his pictures. Is very good effect, cartoon character mix with a little bit techniques. not only comic = comic, fine art = fine art. Computer just a tool. Of course it can do many things. But when you create a CG and you want to do a good thing. And then in your mind just have a "good CG = Photorealism"....you know, is no fun! So why people make 2D shade render in their software?
Creation is not like this! CG can be more fun!

我好同意大家的講法！
其實用Computer做CG就好像我們平時畫畫一樣，有時為需要會畫得好real，有時又會為表達一些idea而去畫。
睇完一些CG Gallery，聽完大家的見解之後，我覺得CG的的確確系一門新的“藝術”！
