Yes, it's absolutely cutting edge CGI. Every one of those movies pushed CGI technology so much further.

I had the pleasure of watching a talk by the CGI team at an animators convention when the second movie came out and it's absolutely insane how much work goes into every tiny detail. The first thing they did for example, was to animate a water drop as physically correct as possible. And then they build up from there. They also filmed hours of reference material.

Remember the scene in the second movie where they burn down the huts? They build one of those huts for real, live sized (remember the Navii are bigger than humans) and hand weaved. And then they burned it down. Just to see how fire interacts with that material.

The Avatar movies are nothing special story wise, but from a CGI point of view, they have always been groundbreaking.

    Game of Thrones didn't really have unnecessary sex scene. A big part of that show was about sex and how it influences people.

    Saying Game of Thrones has unnecessary sex scenes is kind of like saying a Marvel movie has unnecessary super hero fight scenes.

    I'm a german football fan and I love the World Cup and the Euros. That being said, I would love it even more if the DFB actually pulled out of the World Cup. We have to stop hosting these events in fascist countries.

    BUT, if only the DFB would pull out it would certainly not be an earthquake. Big football nations not qualifying for the WC is certainly news, but it does happen and I'm certain the event would go on as usual, even without Germany. Now, every UEFA member pulling out, that would be an earthquake felt around the world. But I feel like we have better chances of the orange turd exploding spontaneously than that happening.

    Not OP but I've had my fairphone for a couple of months and I love it. I use e/OS on it so being free of googles clutches alone feels great. But what I really like is the thought that I will most likely keep this phone for well over 5 years.

    Hey everyone! I just got into using plugins on my Server and having a blast creating new content with ItemsAdder.

    So I had the idea to host a little easter event for my players. I'm gonna hide a bunch of eggs all around our world and the players can then trade the eggs for fun items at a trading point. At the moment I have three ideas for items:

    • A chocolate bunny that gives you the jump boost potion effect
    • A placeable bunny plush
    • Wearable bunny ears

    Do you have any cool ideas for some similar easter loot? Could be anything from food, to wearables or custom furniture.
