Orc looks cool, I didn't play the games so I haven't nothing to base it on but the design is great.
What do you mean catching up? They've been up since the beginning.

looks pretty solid, I'm still very pessimistic though

That looks so uninteresting for some reason. Maybe it will good in context though.

Looking good. Probably deserves it's own thread.

Any renders you see this early can easily still be updated later on. The real eye test will be seeing these in motion with live action in the same frame. Hopefully ILM nails it, given something like Davy Jones scenes are one of their benchmarks.
Weta usually sports good balance between mocap and design and their capture technology is stellar as evidenced by big projects like LOTR, Avatar and Planet of the Apes. I remember some senior ILM graphics engineers being a little jealous of their tech back when Avatar came out.
This and Star wars seemed to be their time to expand their capabilities of aesthetic motion capture.

Do you have a source? Because I don't recall a lot of my coworkers at the time saying as much when we had Avatar in-house for emergency work since WETA was overloaded. There'a a hell of a lot I want to say about the whole Avatar production thing but NDAs are what they are.
Did you completely miss stuff like the Pirates films, Iron Man, Avengers, etc? ILM's mocap stuff has been fine since 2005.
You're asking me to dig up an article from 2007, it was when the first time you were appointed to help with the project. I don't remember who but they said they were impressed with weta facial capture tech, especially Neytiri's. It kind of struck me.
To be honest, only Pirates really stands out of those when it comes to facial motion capture. Hulk is not really that good and I don't remember any in ironman, so I guess you get points for that.
Because you really needed to know how uninterested he was. That's how little he cares.

You were talking about mocap in general in your original post, not specifically facial mocap.
As for Hulk, he was built with improved tech used for Davy Jones. Granted a lot of the nuance can't really be seen with how the shots ended up, and there's a lot less overall footage of him in general compared to Davy, so unless you go frame-by-frame you're not going to notice a lot of the improvements in muscle simulation, the eyes, etc.
From what they showed at Blizzcon last November, I'd say they nailed it.

Actually, I think you're wrong. You COULD be less interested in the film, seeing as how you purposely clicked on the tread titled: "'Warcraft' Movie Post-Production: 20 months of...hype? Maybe?"
So this means you actually are somewhat interested in this film. Well, that's great because this thread is for discussing that said film.
Great first look! I think it looks better than I thought it would. Most likely get the full trailer at Blizzcon.
They're so damn right. Warcrat is one the rare lore I know that made orcs as a noble race (thank to Thrall book that introduce it to me well). Same for all other races none are 100% good or evil (maybe the undead since Cataclysl though, Sylvana has took a wrong turn)
Unless everyone is built like (GoT S4) The Mountain... I don't know how they're incorporating the Live Action humans with that CG Orc... Don't get me wrong it looks amazing for a stand alone CG piece. I don't recall orcs being a magnitude ginormous over human soldiers. Hopefully the animation holds up.

An Orc grunt needs to say zug zug in this
Orcs are a fair bit larger than humans. MoP opening cinematic:
Yeah I remember seeing height charts for the WoW races, and the shortest orcs were 6'8" while the tallest NPC humans were 6'6".

Ah, well last I played was in WotLK. That MOP cinematic screen is a nice comparison. Thanks!
it looks good in motion, as it's all facial/actor mocap. Also the movie is practically wrapped.

So we get dwarves on this movie? Any confirmed actors for those roles?
There is clear difference between quality of that CGI orc and those on WoW cinematics. And when we see that guy on motion, I bet difference will be even bigger.

Wikipedia said that dwarves only appeared from Warcraft 2.

Doesn't arguably mean anything. Durotan certainly wasn't the main character in Warcraft 1, or even mentioned in the what is more or less the novelization of the game, The Last Guardian.
