Texan animation studios are making shows indistinguishable from animu

[Jman]

Also Rooster Teeth’s next project, as a symbol of this expansion, landed Michael B. Jordan (Killmonger in Black Panther).

I think we all know the movie he's truly best known for

Oh hey speaking of racially miscast characters...

You have to play the Human Torch before being in a good comic movie.  It’s a rule.

That’s not the new season of The Deuce?

I'm happy for Michael B. Jordan now that he's finally living the dream of becoming anime.

Indistinguishable from anime??
 

This says the show is gonna be made in CGI, like RWBY, and RWBY while getting just as much praise as any other anime out there, isn't exactly the pinnacle of computer animated perfection.  PLUS that article has no images of how the show is gonna look.  So until we get a sneak-peek or some key visuals, I will reserve my judgment of said description.

That was more referring to Powerhouse, who made Castlevania.

Which looks like this.

kay .... still doesn't acknowledge how this upcoming show will be CGI.

[BUU8800]

There have been some decent cgi anime to be fair. I liked ID-0 even though it wasn't particularly great. And while I would have rather it used traditional art Nobunaga Concerto was pretty cool.

RWBY is easily distinguishable from Anime because it 's CG and looks freaking horrible

if you're wondering why Starfire's hair is Pink in the live action

it's probably because her hair is Pink in Teen Titans go

 

also that guy is Racist and Homophobic (having watched the video)

Yeah, Rooster Teeth’s work quality wise is a step well below Powerhouse’s.

That being said landing Killmonger for a role is pretty damn impressive Post Black Panther.

Land of the Lustrous.

Land of the Lustrous is nice looking though

to the extent that still screenshots can almost be mistaken for Hand drawn animation

[Daos]

Here's my question. With modern technology... have we not yet advanced to the point where CGI can look identical to hand drawn art? You figure that would be the first thing they started to work on when CGI got good.

We are to that point

studios just won't do it for some reason

also Land of the Lustrous is VERY close

it's basically what RWBY wishes it looked like

 

[Daos]

Lustrous... I'm gonna say.... they're 70 percent of the way there. Still needs a lot of work before I'd have even a slight bit of trouble telling that it was CGI.

[The1gairon]

Its good enough for me to willingly checkout an all-CGI anime series and that's no small feat!

[PokeNirvash]

One word: Etotama.

 

[Chapinator_X]

The only 3D anime worth watching

 

[Daos]

Etotama looks good, I'd say about 90 percent there on that one.

Five years at the rate we’re going.

Check back in five years, given investments in the medium and demand on turnaround.

I don't think they were trying to make it look 2D in the first place anyway, at least not entirely.  I don't think a lot of the explicitly crystalline shots of the characters would have worked nearly as well in a 2D style.

[The1gairon]

But they use outlines, animate on 2's as well as on 1's, and include cel shading, just like in hand-drawings.

I'll agree there, it's not literally indestinguishable from 2d, but if you're not paying absolutely close attention or are looking at still screenshots you can almost mistake it for 2d Animation

[The1gairon]

Still screenshots make them look 90% just like 2D, because they're not moving, so you don't get any of those smooth tweening interpolations in the forms.
