Fight Club features some of the most advanced
and experimental techniques in visual effects to date; including fully digital humans and environments.
Quicktime 4.0
13.6 Megs
The sex sequence was entirely digital. Allowing
for great flexibility and experimentation (move pointer over image to see
wireframe).
A fully computer generated kitchen environment.
Models and textures were acquired from the 'photogrametry' technique, where
an array of photographs are used to construct 3D geometry.
Another fully CGI shot. Full radiosity and
traced reflections were needed to achieve the desired level of realism.
A Penguin animated to look somewhat caricatured.
This ride film style opening shot required
exhaustive research into brain neurology.
CGI image of an extreme close up featuring
animated sweat
A mix of live action, miniature, and digital
elements.
Another digital human, complete with transluscent
skin.
The final city destruction shot made extensive
use of procedural CG animation
