8760-432: The faults that come with CGI and animation. Computer-generated imagery is limited in its practical application by how realistic it can look. Unrealistic, or badly managed computer-generated imagery can result in the uncanny valley effect. This effect refers to the human ability to recognize things that look eerily like humans, but are slightly off. Such ability is a fault with normal computer-generated imagery which, due to
8880-410: The film initially developed Lando Calrissian as a clone from a planet of clones involved in the Clone Wars mentioned in A New Hope and were nearly made extinct by the war, but this concept was not featured in the final film. George Lucas later came up with the alternate concept of an army of clone shock troops from a remote planet used by the Republic in the war that followed. Lucas intended for
9000-416: The formation of the Galactic Empire and the destruction of the cloning facilities on Kamino, clone troopers are slowly replaced by Imperial stormtroopers , non-clone human recruits. During the development of The Empire Strikes Back , Lucas initially conceived a planet of clones, which is why the Clone Wars was mentioned for the first time in the original Star Wars (1977) film. The clone trooper armor
9120-409: The galaxy and were then discarded." He went on to explain that a small handful of clone troopers were kept in service as instructors at Imperial academies across the galaxy, training up the next generation of non-clone soldiers as the new stormtroopers. The 2021 animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch focuses on Clone Force 99, (named for a clone trooper who was disfigured and couldn’t fight so he
9240-501: The initiation of Order 66 and the subsequent confrontation between Yoda and Darth Sidious in 19 BBY, Thire and his troopers were ordered to hunt the Jedi Master. The failure to locate his body convinced Mas Amedda that Yoda was still alive, leading the Emperor to order Thire to resume the search. However, Yoda succeeded in escaping from Coruscant with the aid of Senator Bail Organa. Thire later accompanied Sidious to Mustafar to recover
9360-403: The invasion is successfully repelled, only Fives and Echo survive, and they are reassigned to the 501st Legion. The season three episode "Clone Cadets" depicts Fives and his unit as cadets in training on Kamino . The unit, called Domino squad, consists also of cadets Cutup, Droidbait, and Hevy. They are initially unable to work together to pass their final test. Fives and Echo feel weighed down by
9480-497: The latter battle, Kenobi killed General Grievous, marking a major loss for the Separatists and bringing the Republic one step closer to winning the war. However, Kenobi was ultimately betrayed by his soldiers upon the activation of Order 66, which led to the Clone's inhibitor chips forcibly compelling them to view him as a traitor to the Republic that needed to be executed The clones failed to execute their former leader, however. Following
9600-403: The line the offensive team must cross to receive a first down. CGI is also used in association with football and other sporting events to show commercial advertisements overlaid onto the view of the playing area. Sections of rugby fields and cricket pitches also display sponsored images. Swimming telecasts often add a line across the lanes to indicate the position of the current record holder as
9720-463: The mesh. Thus a topographical map with varying levels of height can be created using relatively straightforward fractal algorithms. Some typical, easy-to-program fractals used in CGI are the plasma fractal and the more dramatic fault fractal . Many specific techniques have been researched and developed to produce highly focused computer-generated effects — e.g., the use of specific models to represent
9840-517: The military of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars , which takes its name from the troopers. They are genetically engineered to age at twice the rate of a normal human in order to be ready for deployment much quicker, and be unquestionably loyal to the higher chain of command. During the Clone Wars, the clone troopers served under the command of the Jedi Order as they fought against
9960-549: The most perilous combat situations. His unquestionable loyalty meant he would carry out his orders without question, even if it meant killing a Jedi or another "brother". An example of this devotion to orders is seen as he shot ARC Trooper "Fives" with his DC-17. His exemplary performance has made him one of the most highly decorated soldiers in the Republic army. Additional sources state that Fox continued his duty on Coruscant, until an error on his part led Darth Vader to execute him by force snapping his neck. Commander Thire, CC-4477,
10080-417: The nature of "Order 66" is revealed when a clone trooper named Fives discovers that he and his brothers have chips implanted into their brains that would compel them to kill Jedi when "Order 66" is uttered. Unfortunately, the Jedi remained unaware of this as Fives was executed by a clone shock trooper ordered by Palpatine to conceal the existence of the contingency order. When Order 66 is issued by Sidious during
10200-474: The need to pair virtual synthesis with military level training requirements, CGI technologies applied in flight simulation were often years ahead of what would have been available in commercial computing or even in high budget film. Early CGI systems could depict only objects consisting of planar polygons. Advances in algorithms and electronics in flight simulator visual systems and CGI in the 1970s and 1980s influenced many technologies still used in modern CGI adding
10320-437: The normal rate and are more loyal and easier to command. The clone army is deployed to Geonosis under the command of the Jedi to rescue Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker , and Padmé Amidala from execution by the Separatists. The ensuing battle becomes the first one in the Clone Wars . Although the clone army emerges victorious, Dooku and many other Separatist leaders escape, meaning that the war has only just begun. In Revenge of
10440-511: The object of flight simulation was to reproduce on the ground the behavior of an aircraft in flight. Much of this reproduction had to do with believable visual synthesis that mimicked reality. The Link Digital Image Generator (DIG) by the Singer Company (Singer-Link), was considered one of the worlds first generation CGI systems. It was a real-time, 3D capable, day/dusk/night system that was used by NASA shuttles, for F-111s, Black Hawk and
10560-556: The opening credits of the film. The first feature film to make use of CGI with live action in the storyline of the film was the 1973 film Westworld . Other early films that incorporated CGI include Star Wars: Episode IV (1977), Tron (1982), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Golgo 13: The Professional (1983), The Last Starfighter (1984), Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), Jurassic Park (1993) and Toy Story (1995). The first music video to use CGI
10680-536: The orders of Sidious, Palpatine transforms the Republic into the Galactic Empire and the clone army becomes the basis of the Imperial Army. Clone troopers are referenced in The Force Awakens (2015) when Kylo Ren chides General Hux for the betrayal of rogue stormtrooper FN-2187 and suggests that Supreme Leader Snoke should consider a clone army. Clone troopers are heavily featured in
10800-416: The original trilogy. The designs of clone trooper in snow and cold weather gear, seen in season one of The Clone Wars , are heavily inspired by early concept and costume by Ralph McQuarrie , Joe Johnston , and John Mollo for The Empire Strikes Back . In Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith , all clone troopers are computer-generated images and are voiced by Temuera Morrison , who played
10920-401: The others in the squad and ask to be reassigned, but the request is denied. Under the advice of Jedi General Shaak Ti, Fives and Echo recommit themselves to Domino, and the squad is able to pass. Fives and Echo are eventually promoted to ARC troopers together for their actions while defending Kamino and continue serving with the 501st. When assigned to the command of Jedi General Pong Krell during
11040-401: The outside, or skin, of the object being rendered, it fails to capture the infinitesimally small interactions between interlocking muscle groups used in fine motor skills like speaking. The constant motion of the face as it makes sounds with shaped lips and tongue movement, along with the facial expressions that go along with speaking are difficult to replicate by hand. Motion capture can catch
11160-522: The pair part ways. Rex later appears in the Rebels television series , set fourteen years after Revenge of the Sith . Now a much older man because of his accelerated aging, he lives on the wasteland planet Seelos and hunted worm-like joopa with fellow clones Wolffe and Gregor before they are offered a place in the Rebel Alliance , which leads to Rex reuniting with Ahsoka. In the series' epilogue, it
11280-464: The possible relationship a building will have in relation to the environment and its surrounding buildings. The processing of architectural spaces without the use of paper and pencil tools is now a widely accepted practice with a number of computer-assisted architectural design systems. Architectural modeling tools allow an architect to visualize a space and perform "walk-throughs" in an interactive manner, thus providing "interactive environments" both at
11400-500: The prequel trilogy to depict the evolution of the galaxy's fighting forces, and the clone troopers were the step after flawed battle droids . Clone troopers were designed to strongly suggest the army's evolution into the Empire's stormtrooper army. Concept artist Jay Shuster said of the armor design, "It follows the formula for a lot of the prequel trilogy. Take something pre-conceived in the existing trilogy and de-generate it." Design Director Doug Chiang incorporated both features of
11520-532: The procedure. Models of cloth generally fall into three groups: To date, making the clothing of a digital character automatically fold in a natural way remains a challenge for many animators. In addition to their use in film, advertising and other modes of public display, computer generated images of clothing are now routinely used by top fashion design firms. The challenge in rendering human skin images involves three levels of realism: The finest visible features such as fine wrinkles and skin pores are
11640-402: The process. Though their actions allow a Republic victory, Krell, without process of a court-martial , finds Fives and Jesse guilty of treason and sentences them to execution by firing squad . However, Fives urges his fellow troopers to see this as an injustice, and the firing squad refuses to execute him. After Krell is ousted as a Republic Traitor, Fives is freed from custody and aids Rex and
11760-599: The proclamation of the New Order, the 212th was folded into the armed forces of the Galactic Empire. During their days in service to the new government, with General Kahdah as the commanding officer, the battalion was dispatched to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk where they suppressed an indigenous uprising. Notable sub-divisions within the 212th Attack Battalion include: Marshal Commander Cody, CC-2224, leads
11880-420: The purpose of designing characters, virtual worlds , or scenes and special effects (in films , television programs, commercials, etc.). The application of CGI for creating/improving animations is called computer animation , or CGI animation . The first feature film to use CGI as well as the composition of live-action film with CGI was Vertigo , which used abstract computer graphics by John Whitney in

Marshal commander Rex, CT-7567, leads Torrent Company of the 501st Legion, often under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano . He first appears with the rank of Captain in The Clone Wars film and its related television series, and he
12240-519: The second season, about 16 years after Revenge of the Sith . These clones help the crew of the Ghost in their fight against the Empire, and eventually join the Rebel Alliance . Rebels established that in the years after the Clone Wars, the Empire gradually replaced the aging clones with the less effective but more numerous stormtroopers. The clones were not purged, but simply cast aside over time, and without familial or social networks to fall back onto it
12360-414: The series finale, the activated inhibitor chips forcibly brainwash the Clone Troopers into believing their Jedi generals as traitors to the Republic and subsequently executing them. The 2014 animated series Star Wars Rebels features a group of former clone troopers, including Rex from the preceding cartoon, who had their chips removed and therefore did not carry out Order 66. They are first introduced in

Skin can be modeled as a 7- dimensional bidirectional texture function (BTF) or a collection of bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF) over the target's surfaces. Interactive visualization is the rendering of data that may vary dynamically and allowing a user to view the data from multiple perspectives. The applications areas may vary significantly, ranging from
12600-412: The squad is able to pass. Echo and Fives are eventually promoted to ARC troopers together for their actions while defending Kamino and continue serving with the 501st. Echo is apparently killed in an explosion during a rescue operation in the season three episode "Counter Attack". Story reels for a previously unfinished four-episode arc called "Bad Batch" (initially part of The Clone Wars Legacy project,
12720-420: The system (e.g. by using joystick controls to change their position within the virtual world) the raw data is fed through the pipeline to create a new rendered image, often making real-time computational efficiency a key consideration in such applications. While computer-generated images of landscapes may be static, computer animation only applies to dynamic images that resemble a movie. However, in general,
12840-532: The term computer animation refers to dynamic images that do not allow user interaction, and the term virtual world is used for the interactive animated environments. Computer animation is essentially a digital successor to the art of stop motion animation of 3D models and frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations. Computer generated animations are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows
12960-458: The troopers aboard when the Venator -class Star Destroyer Tribunal they are on crashes on a small moon, and is buried by Ahsoka and Rex. Jesse is distinguished by his shaved hair with the Republic symbol tattooed on most of his head. His armor bears blue markings with the Republic symbol on the center. Trooper Kix, CT-6116, is a medic serving in the 501st Legion. In season six, Kix aids Fives,
13080-405: The true cause of Tup's death. With his dying words, he describes attempting to expose the conspiracy to have been his duty. Lieutenant Jesse, CT-5597, is a member in the 501st Legion. In season four's Battle of Umbara , Jesse, like Fives comes to consider General Pong Krell to be ruthless and reckless (mainly over the casualty numbers). He later helps Fives and Hardcase on a rogue mission to destroy
13200-405: The truth behind the chips, he was killed by Commander Fox, before he could reveal what he had learned; Tup's actions and death were officially declared the results of a locally acquired virus. Tup's armor featured the blue markings common in the 501st, as well as an image of a single blue teardrop underneath the right eye of his helmet; this matched a tattoo on his face. The 212th Attack Battalion
13320-578: The urban and building levels. Specific applications in architecture not only include the specification of building structures (such as walls and windows) and walk-throughs but the effects of light and how sunlight will affect a specific design at different times of the day. Architectural modeling tools have now become increasingly internet-based. However, the quality of internet-based systems still lags behind sophisticated in-house modeling systems. In some applications, computer-generated images are used to "reverse engineer" historical buildings. For instance,
13440-585: The use of avatars . Virtual worlds are intended for its users to inhabit and interact, and the term today has become largely synonymous with interactive 3D virtual environments, where the users take the form of avatars visible to others graphically. These avatars are usually depicted as textual, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional graphical representations, although other forms are possible (auditory and touch sensations for example). Some, but not all, virtual worlds allow for multiple users. Computer-generated imagery has been used in courtrooms, primarily since
13560-403: The visualization of the flow patterns in fluid dynamics to specific computer aided design applications. The data rendered may correspond to specific visual scenes that change as the user interacts with the system — e.g. simulators, such as flight simulators , make extensive use of CGI techniques for representing the world. At the abstract level, an interactive visualization process involves
13680-509: The younger Boba. Clones not wearing helmets were played by both Morrison and Taylor, who wore chroma key body suits to isolate their heads, and some clone troopers featured a blend of the actors' features. Beginning with The Clone Wars film that launched the animated series of the same name, adult clone troopers are voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and young clone troopers are voiced by Logan. In Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003-2005), all clones were voiced by André Sogiluzzo . Upon their debut in
13800-500: Was Will Powers ' Adventures in Success (1983). Prior to CGI being prevalent in film, virtual reality, personal computing and gaming, one of the early practical applications of CGI was for aviation and military training, namely the flight simulator . Visual systems developed in flight simulators were also an important precursor to three dimensional computer graphics and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) systems today. Namely because
13920-530: Was designed to suggest an evolution into the stormtroopers of the original trilogy , and it incorporated features from both the armor of stormtroopers and Boba Fett , revealed in Attack of the Clones to be an unaltered clone of Jango Fett. The armored troopers in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith are computer-generated images voiced by Temuera Morrison , who played Jango Fett . Younger clones were played by Bodie Taylor and Daniel Logan , who played
14040-411: Was difficult for them to integrate into civilian life. In a behind-the-scenes Q&A for episode 2.2, when asked what happened to the clone troopers after the Clone Wars ended, producer Pablo Hidalgo explained: "A lot of different things happened to them. Some of them had pretty sad situations. In many ways, the Clone Troopers are sort of this " Lost Generation " of unappreciated veterans who helped save
14160-490: Was entirely digital. Commander Cody, seen in armor without his helmet in Revenge of the Sith , was played by Morrison. He wore a blue bodysuit and only footage of his head was used for Cody; he held a stormtrooper helmet to approximate the digital clone trooper helmet Cody carries. Like Morrison, Taylor also played armored and clones without helmets in Revenge of the Sith , wearing a blue bodysuit that isolated his head. Some clone troopers were entirely digital and featured
14280-405: Was key to the capture of treasonous Jedi General Pong Krell, supporting and siding with his friend Fives even after Fives had been condemned to death by Krell and stunning the Jedi after a fierce battle with mutinous 501st clones led by Rex. In the sixth season, Tup suffered a malfunction in a biotechnical chip implanted in his brain shortly after his creation by the Kaminoans. Intended to ensure that
