Gaming VFX and Animation




VFX industry
The VFX industry is booming at the moment and I have been reading into the Warcraft movie they are creating a 3D epic movie based on Blizzards behemoth of a game World of Warcraft. seeing as it's converting from video game to the big screen it is going to be heavily SFX and animation  which gives me an in depth view into the industry which I am seriously thinking of pursuing a career in as it seems so vast and interesting. Legendary Pictures and Universal pictures are producing it with Duncan Jones directing and have released some great screenshots that really show the detail and SFX components behind the motion picture:

Games Industry
This year some great games are being released such as Fallout 4, Halo5,  and the one and only Star Wars Battlefront. Before I would look at these games and only take in the gameplay and how smooth it played etc. but now after seeing how complicated basic code can get it's mind boggling trying to think of all the lines of code in Fallout 4 for instance, and helps me appreciate the developers more, seeing how much time and effort is spent with each great release. It also made me realise how vital VFX and animation are in gaming:
Animation Industry
I have been watching The Simpsons for as long as i can remember but recently i have been binge watching the series, this has given me a detailed view of how animation has changed over the years. You see as the image becomes sharper and the movements of the characters more fluid, You also see more complexity in the animations and a LOT more detail:
