@kwc1922 @BoyWolfiee they “resemble” ai BECAUSE ai was trained on movies with a similiar style

[BoyWolfiee Says *internal screaming* @BoyWolfiee]

DreamWorks literally says "you can't use our work to train AI"

I think the reason the animation of Shrek 5 doesn't upset me is that the franchise is more than just its style of animation to me. There's the humor, the heart, the characters, and the story as well, and I think the teaser did a good job of showing us those things mostly.

The Shrek redesign thing reminds me of scientists that can’t show up to date dinosaurs renderings based on further research cause the public won’t accept it. So they have to keep using dinosaur images from the 90’s so the public will come To there museums.

The studio that made the original Shrek was shut down in 2015. Pacific Data Images, the studio that built the Shrek pipeline from scratch, was permanently closed by DreamWorks in January of that year. Half of its 450 employees were laid off. The software they used to render Shrek’s skin, model his facial muscles, and define how light hit his face became code no modern system could run. The original character files, built in PDI’s proprietary software, were incompatible with every current animation tool. So the Shrek 5 team rebuilt Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey from zero.

Rebuilding a 25-year-old character design from reference images is much harder than it sounds. A nose a few pixels too small, eyes set a little further apart, the skull shape off by a degree. These differences are invisible in a single frame and visible in every shot. The characters fans remember came from a specific team using software that no longer exists, making decisions that can’t be documented or replicated.

There is also a rendering engine change. The original Shrek ran on a rasterization system, a fast shortcut for simulating light. In 2019, DreamWorks switched to MoonRay, their own ray tracer that simulates how light actually bounces through a scene. Every DreamWorks film since How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World uses it. Physically accurate lighting means smoother surfaces, softer shadows, and less of the rough-edged texture that made the original Shrek feel real.

About 18 months after PDI closed, Comcast bought DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. Chris Meledandri, the man behind Illumination (the studio behind Minions and the Despicable Me films), was put in charge. The two studios now share infrastructure under Universal.

Three things happened: the original studio closed, the rendering engine changed, and the parent company changed. Any one alone would have shifted what Shrek looks like. All three together is why the version rebuilt in the 2020s does not look like the one built in 2001.

@fabiolouzzz @Uncompliant227 @kiwi_tapes they didnt rly keep it, look at some before and after

@Gazeleone @Krasnerzzz shrek the third is hilarious, when pinocchio is trying to confuse charming, the pigs revealing everything, the princesses fighting back, shreks dramatic dream of ogre babies. It gets way too much hate

[sab⁷ @pluto_yoon]

@gusiukass1 @cogitoergoscum no i didnt, mainly for the reason that their history is less popular so i dont know much about them. Also, from what I’ve seen they’re less active than the British. But its okay you dont hav to visit for royals! just my personal experience 🙃

@wayn42244 @billibinos @Arealmfngl in most countries women didnt even get the right to vote until like 30 yeats ago, or to own something JUST theirs, not their husbands. That was the poijt of feminism. Now irs to advocate for women STILL suffering injustices

maturing is realizing none of us are easy to be with. It's about who's willing to stay committed to understanding you and actually wants to grow with you
