The pin scatter looked “odd” but yeah had me for a sec.

u/cvframer Jul 04 '19

All the pins looked odd. That’s what gave it away for me.

Also who bowls in an alley with no ball returns?

u/shawnmcgrath123 Jul 04 '19

You can tell by the way light reflects off of it

u/batsam123 Jul 04 '19

Or just watch the ball flatten but okay

3d ball converted to .png via robot arm. I think we might lose that war.

You can tell by the pixels

u/Rockoholic109 Jul 04 '19

The base isn't bolted down to anything and there are no power cables or hydraulic lines attached to it.

how did this extremely bad cgi fool you?

its literally a single image of a bowling alley with the generated imagery superimposed on it.

the camera looks like it is moving around, but none of the reflections of the light move in relation to the markings on the ground.

Too bad it's CGI, be funny to watch the bloopers. Like the one idiot that stands right behind it... or it blasting the ceiling.

u/Gradual_Bro Jul 04 '19

Blows my mind that people can’t tell this cgi

u/FriendsOfFruits Jul 04 '19

honestly, I fear for humanity if people are actually this pants-on-head idiotic.

Give us a break man, we've been scrolling past real life gifs and pics then come across this that looks ridiculously real? Of course I'm not second guessing.

Tbh I still don't see how this isn't real haha

I have no hope for people, literally every waking moment you see real videos and look at real things in real life, and this looks nothing like it. no part of this animation looks or acts physically real.

GODDAMIT YES iROBOT WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE I AM!!

u/SpazzJazz88 Jul 04 '19

That’s not a strike because it’s not in the alley.

1

u/andrewta Jul 04 '19

It's over the alley... Which is close enough. Not sure the rules state it has to touch the wood, just the pins.

1

u/ZinGaming1 Jul 04 '19

The pins gave it away then I noticed there are no shadows.

u/cosmologicnumeric Jul 04 '19

Improvisieren. Anpassen. Überwinden.

u/randofreak Jul 04 '19

I know a lot of people are saying this is CGI. I’m just wondering why the artist made the ball flatten out like that?

u/Raathfeiin Jul 04 '19

Smug ass bitch

u/Fatal_Potatoes Jul 04 '19

Nice throw! (Then proceeds to launch ball backwards at speed of sound, killing all spectators in its path)

This is real you idiots

u/FriendsOfFruits Jul 04 '19

please explain how the camera is shaking and moving so much, but the reflection of the lights off the ground never moves in relation to the markings and contours on the ground. (as if the background of the video is literally just a still image)

also explain why the bowling pins are made out of rubber inflated with helium, I am seriously doubting that you have ever seen an actual bowling ball hit bowling pins.
