I kept wondering, "How the fuck do you model that, sitting at a keyboard? How much memory did that use up? How long did it take to render each frame? etc."

At least the CGSociety members were suitably impressed...

I'm right there with you on that. It wasn't my area of study, but it was adjacent, and I was damned impressed by what they did. I was similarly impressed by Watchmen on that score. Whether one wanted to see a naked blue guy strolling around or not, the realism of it was impressive. Avatar just took that and applied it to an entire world, and it was breathtaking. On many levels.


Just because something can't be explained doesn't mean it becomes yours.
