Disney is spending time and resources making 3D eyes more realistic. In their research they found that no 2 eyes are alike, unless they're in the same head, but sometimes... Nevermind, work time. Eyes aren't the same, realism is essential to animated movies because breaking rules for fun, message, style, or creative expression is a BIG no no at these studios. So they spent a pile of money on an image capture system to scan YOUR EYES! That never hurts!
So yeah, this made me a little salty. Reality is something I've never been a huge fan of, so I'll admit I'm biased. It rubs me the wrong way that so much cash is spent on this junk that could go to 2D animation, where there's no limits, no restrictions, no need for complex algorithms to get the visual you want! But the real reason, I've seen the 3D eyes Disney has been using! They're not just good, they're REALLY good! That makes this fiasco all the more futile! There was no need! No reason! No demand! That money could have gone to something more creative!
Hahaha very um, interesting insight Pat.
