JediNyt Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 They are the two best CG characters made to date but who is #1? This is about CG quality not character appeal. Who was a better quality CG character? Who looked the most real? I say Yoda. Gollum was great of course but Yoda was better CG. He just looked more real. I could always tell that Gollum was CG. His eyes werent as real looking and his mouth didnt connect to the words spoken as well as Yoda. The clincher I think is when Yoda is fighting Dooku and they saber lock and he says, "Fought well you have my old Padawan." He looks 100% real. The mouth, the eyes, the skin, everything. These of course are very specific and minute details. But thats what this contest comes down to since they are both incredibly well done. Remember this is not a popularity contest. Not whos most likeable or intense looking. Its whos the better CG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I loved Yoda... but Gollum owns him in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Blackrose Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Agreed, Gollum smacked down Yoda in terms of CGI in a very big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I think Yoda had better CG, but Gollum had a better performance because of the actor they mimicked. I'm not voting till I see TTT a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratmjedi Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I have to say Yoda. I mean the fight with Dooku was well made and Yoda looked very good. They didn't make him look funny like GL said ,that if people thought it was funny of him fighting then they didn't make him a good enough CG character but I don't know anyone that laughed at that fight. Gollum did have a better performance but he had more screen time. His skitzo episodes were good but Yoda's was more believable. You saw a lot more emotion when Yoda was speaking and his facial expresions were more complex. I mean look at his ear's. They didn't look stiff but reacted well with whatever feeling Yoda was having.

RpTheHotrod Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Can it be? The first poll where Yoda doesn't win??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Gollum definitely owned Yoda in the CG stakes. For those that think Gollum is humanoid, he is, but he isn't.. The eyes are no longer those of a day creature, but that of nocturnal, so judge him on that.... BTW, Clem - if there is anything that can beat Yoda, it has to be LeXX!!!!

Clemme w/Stick Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I think theyre equal!! Well, its hard to decide. Yoda, is jumping around swing his saber and so on, and gollum is making the TTT movie fun (When he becomes smeagol). I dont know which one is better.... *explodes* -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I voted that they're equal because they were both amazingly realistic..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstar__2 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 there equal, ilm has better programs to make cgi, and gollum looks more human, but you can't really compare them, they are way too different, so i voted equal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 i went with yoda ... although i find it funny that when they made him, they had to mimic the rubber puppet feel that he had from the original trilogy ... just look at the way the ends of his ears wiggle when his head moves, just like the puppet.

C'jais Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Gollum is gonna slap Yoda with a dead fish... Seriously, while Yoda has an amazing, flowing robe, Gollum is made with motion capture, resulting in an altogether more believable character. Yoda can walk, flip and attack. Gollum is much more diverse. Even Gollum's face is done with motion capture. How cool is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greedo626 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 they both looked really good but I have to go with jar jar. he owns them all:jarjar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Ya Jar Jar was pretty cool too. People should also take into account that Gollum/Smeagol had a referense as Jar Jar did. When ILM made Yoda they had no referense but a statue that the actors talked to. ILM had to make everything up, do it from scratch. Wetta didnt since they had an actor play Gollum. Thats one thing that makes Yoda all the more incredible. Regardless I still think Yodas #1 imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Yoda really was a better CGI than Gollum. As sayed before, Gollums eyes looked a little too fake for me, and Yodas facial expressions were top notch. Yoda for me, albiet a close match.

Katarn07 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 The fact that Yoda actually looked real and like the ESB and RotJ puppet is what made it for me! The TPM robot sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camus Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Yoda owns... He looked so much like the puppet from ESB and RotJ... Nuffsaid from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
