What do you think the turtles will look like?

Yea dude, Kon Tiki is awesome, the image of the shark still lingers in my head, haha, lingers~ like pineapple express's lingerer.
Agreed, Caesar is less outstanding compared to it, hope they can achieve something of a balance.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of A.C. Farley's rendition of the turtles.
TMNT:OOTS design did gave me a good feel, tho I'm not a fan of the snake-like nostril. Felt that they should be round holes and higher up near the eyes, just like your profile picture, and would be hidden in the mask/bandana when they put them on.

I was posting that because i thought it would be a cool design for the turtles in the new movie.

From what the actors suits look like they'll definitely have large shells. I'd assume they'd probably look more real turtle like without being scary/weird.

Looks like a Six Flags costume.

Oh ok, my bad.

It's not your bad, he's the one who posted it without any context, or a link, or information at all.

You can't really tell how big their shells will be from the motion capture suits, you don't know how thick parts of of the body will be.

The shells could be large, proportinate or even small if the make them muscle bound.

I hope we will get a look at a turtle soon because I am getting real tired of waiting. At least give us a teaser pic!

A skinnier 3D model of 2k3 Don?

Actually, I wouldn't want them to look like that even though it's close to the versions I grew up with, they should be more detailed if they are going full 3-d and realistic.

We should see some scales and such I think, regardless of ho it looks if it does well money wise, we will get other toys that will look more like we would want them to.

I kept an eastern-painted as a kid. Always wanted a RES
I think "ROTPOTA" the cg just wasn't as impressive as other work done around the same time. . If you want a benchmark - Kon-Tikki had incredible work, as did Life of Pi. Caesar still had a cartoony quality, and I hope the turtles look better.

Since the concept artist is the one who did the designs for Grimm in season one, so I think we can expect a similar design aesthetic to the creatures in that show.

You mean Jerad S Marantz, Grimm's concept artist, http://jeradsmarantz.blogspot.com/20...designs_4.html, is one of the concept artist for this 2014 tmnt movie? Well it's nothing of a surprise if he is in the team since he has worked on most Bay and Jonathan Liebesman movies before, cool artist nonetheless.

Cool. If your interested, the avatar is from this deviant art account:

Thanks, cool modeling, saw it on deviantart before, nice gallery you have there.

Mark Ruffalo's hulk is nice.
I might be a little biased, but between the 2 studio, I'd always prefer the result by ILM.
It might have something to do with my experience when I first watched Peter Jackson's King Kong, it felt like the actors are acting in front of a motion master cinema screen or something, doesn't blend too nicely, for me.
But I do like what I saw in District 9, pros and cons I guess, no studio's perfect.
Anyways, hope we can get the best cg showcase yet from this coming film.

I'd be happy to work at either, but yes, I know what you mean.
I think what you're referring to is the different render method between the two studios. Each use different algorithms to render, sort of like the different formulas for Coke/Pepsi.
There are also artists that move from one to the other, which will impact on the feel of a show.
Renders can look better or worse, independent of the quality of the creature work, if the try to save money on the render time, by cutting corners - or subcontracting smaller shots to other studios.
It's a very turbulent time in the fx industry right now, everyone's looking to save where they can, or they might lose the client.

If you look at the photos of them when they are captured by the Foot, you can see the handcuffs they are wearing really hang off their human sized wrists. If they are meant to be used as a restraint they should be fairly tight, therefore giving us an idea of how thick their wrists\arms are.
On top of that, the "undercover" Raph photos give us even more of an idea of the size\muscularity\shape of the Turtles. Under the trenchcoat, he looks to be very muscly and doesn't seem to have the nick toon type arms, but the more live action\ot style. It is the heads of the turtles that has me the most worried. Raphs head in the "undercover" pictures seems far too small. But looking at the shape of it I think we may be getting Turtles that look like this in the face, but are far more built. -

Turtle shaped explosions.

Possibly the best post yet.

I think so as well.
