I took computer aided dracting which is a step in the prosess. To build 1 items grid can take severl hours or days. You have to make sure every line is connected to the smallest measurement or it will not look right.

again it was not even a comment worth reportable insults.

would it make you feel better that you have no cs expectations then threre aree some? or cs expectations and find out there is none.

again even in gaming cs take time to make and that time is longer then 2 mnths.

Sorry to quote you again, I like graphics, but this is what separates CGI for movies and CGI for games. Games already require a ton of assets but gamers want even more. This is why game engines are optimized to re-use assets in as many creative ways as possible. Sure, we would all like every facet of the game to be special, but that requires an enormous amount of man hours. I'm sure we can agree that CG films look awesome because it's only a few hours long with a ton of resources behind it. FFXIV can be played .. for how long?

thats beside the point tbh.... point is I got insulted for literaly no reason.
all i said was don;t expect any. never said that none will be in.
if these quests have cs great, never said there wasn't. If there arnt, great again as i did say not expect them so don;t blow up over it.

It takes 2 years to make a 90 min movie.... you have to story board it, build models, re render models to get the movements in place, then you have to remake the models with higher textures. Then actually program all that into the game. That precess takes more then 2 mnths tyvm.

Sounds about right for a full length movie or even an old-school PS1 cutscene. Except those techniques have been improved with modern graphics hardware. Game cutscenes are made with in-house engine tools that manipulate pre-made animations. These animations are used along with the storyboard to create a real-time cutscene. There is no need to pre-render unless the cutscene is spectacularly over the system requirements.

Don't waste your time trying to talk sense to that brain-dead moron, she has absolutely no clue about how anything works outside of posting in this forum and acting like she knows stuff about a game she has never played.
