A new medium for art

As I progress through this course, although having good reference definitely helps with realism and authenticity, but on the other hand, having good artistic sense really improves CG work. It sounds really obvious, but it hasn’t really been all that apparent until recently.

If you compare any Pixar film to any of Dreamworks’ animated films, Pixar definitely wins extra points for appeal. Most people in the industry know that making a CG piece look authentic to the human eye, is extremely difficult. Therefore, I can appreciate stylized art along with high quality visuals.
