"“Avatar” also raises the bar on “performance capture” technology, which creates computerized 图片 from real human action. The movie depicts an ex-soldier’s interactions with 10-foot-tall aliens on the luminous planet of Pandora."
The movie blends real actors into the digital 动画片 during the 'non-human' scenes. Its kinda like how they made Gollum from LOTR using an actor, only on a much 更多 elaborate and realistic scale.
The technology is actually so amazing 你 won't be able to tell what is real and what is computer generated. Its that fantastic.
It was partial 动画片 and partial reality. The did some sort of mix with 动画片 and the real actors. Ever watched The Lord of the Rings? Somewhat like Goullum (did i spell that right?). Actually, quite a bit like what they did for him. Only with 更多 than one person, that's why it was so expensive!
