as always its more like a teasing for us, they never give out to much information. But actually it (almost) confirms that all the jungle was really 3D, which is very impressive.

I've spent about an hour perusing this Weta site(linked at the end of the feature), wow! Wow! Wow!

Some things I didn't even know they done, some things I did. Amazing, abso-bloody-lutely!

Wow! Imagine the computing power required for this stuff, it's incredible to me.

Yeah, I ran across that a while ago. It looks like they've got some pretty powerful vegetation tools now, that they're probably willing to license for the low-low price of $$$$$$$.
