Misbehaving Sprites

After seeing the massive battle scenes from RotK yesterday (and no, that shouldn’t spoil your surprise) it’s easy to believe that all the computer generated soldiers didn’t want to fight. It’s one thing for an artist to craft those fine orchish features, but it’s an order of degree more difficult to make those models behave like an orc. My hat comes off to both the artists and the programmers who moved mountains to make this movie believable.
