djc123 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I am a game developer and have recently had a disturbing conversation with some family members. It seems that they cannot make any distinction between CGI and hand-drawn animations. For example, I showed them game play footage of Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, and asked them if they could tell a difference in quality between that game and Studio Ghibli anime films. They could not. I tried to point out that in hand drawn animation, perspective is not perfectly preserved from frame to frame, whereas in CGI (ie. all video games) perspective is always perfect because it is a mathematically consistent simulation of 3d objects. They couldn't notice the difference. This was SO frustrating to me because I can feel a difference in the way the two things feel, VERY dramatically, and have a strong preference for hand-drawn animation. So I am wondering if most people are like my family and cannot even tell a difference??? I really hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myouya Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This is really odd, one is 3D and the other is 2D, completely different mediums... Maybe they just dump anything that isn't "live action" into the "cartoon" category, and consider it all the same? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digimon_Sommelier Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Yes, because 3D sucks. 2D is better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverzerO Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Cgi is something like you can extrude & has polygon while drawing doesnt have these! Some game developer are mixing these 2 like capcom on their street fighter game! Not really sure but check street fighter iv if am not mistaken! It would be better if you know these 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holywhippet Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I think I can. I do see scenes in anime and immediately think "that's been done via CGI". I can't be sure if there is CGI out there that I have mistakenly thought was hand drawn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 There is a huge difference in the way the two look, I thought that was fairly obvious to most people too lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiyaSaysHaiya Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 i like to think i can tell the difference but yeah, they're both very different, so i thought it would be easy to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
