typette:

this movie was super cute but like, from a technological standpoint:

the characters in this film displayed some of the most advanced and properly weighted/driven topology I’ve seen on the big screen. Not even pixar gets this shit right. She has no over exaggerated nasolabial folds on her cheeks that betray the type of cookie-cutter reused topology that pixar and the like seem to swear by, as their “house style”. The rigging was glorious, and best of all, the common issue with characters necks meeting their heads at an inappropriate angle, where the bend takes place BEHIND the neck and not where the neck meets the skull- like a doll- has fucking bugged me forever and THEY FINALLY FIXED IT

THIS CHARACTER, SHE IS PERFECT and now that it can be demonstrated as workable in feature film, I don’t know why the hell it isn’t more common, Dreamworks is absolutely destroying it in the animation/modeling/rigging category. DESTROYING the competition.

Look at her hands! Look at how the edges of her mouth come to a point but never crease the geo!! Look at how fucking perfect her hair is! They fixed the gap between eyelashes and the sclera surface which annoys me sooooo much too. All these little things and they totally nailed every one!

such a beautiful movie.
