Title: Photorealistic Day of the Tentacle style
Post by: Monsieur OUXX on Thu 12/05/2016 14:49:13
I don't give a damn about the following game, I didn't even know that it existed.
But it's the first time ever that I see some people able to render the Day of the Tentacle style (bent, seemingly random, cartoony perspectives) in a photorealistic fashion. They're using CGI.

I find this interesting and thought I'd share. I still find it a bit shy though. There are still a lot of elements that are straight and make it look like they hesitate between cartoony style and just a fish-eye effect.

I saw this earlier today.  I found it completely messed with my head if I looked at it for too long!  Things keep seeming like they're moving...

The pictures make me feel a little but sick somehow. Which is a shame, because they're quite fascinating too.

While they're definitely nice pictures, they seem to be lacking something aesthetically.

Maybe's it's the photorealistic quality, but personally I feel as though it's missing a certain charm, especially in that bottom picture.
I can't quite place my finger on it though. :-\

Looks more like a fish-eye lens to me. The long hallway a mix of 2 focal points.
Looks weird but fascinating. (nod)
