I feel physical pain when I look at them. Early low budget CGI is horrific, I wish they would use still 2D images with recorded dialogue like Max Payne.

because they're literally supposed to be power armor equipped soldiers from a fascistic regime, the human characters don't look so bad

This was however endemic in the gaming industry at the time which was one reason among many that games like Crusader and C&C used FMV

It's not CGI, it's stop motion heads made out of clay.

You started up Fallout 1 and played it for 10 seconds, saw the Overseer model, then ran to post about it on 4chan. How are you not ashamed of yourself for acting like this

Are you expecting a pretty anime chick or something? I think the early CGI head actually add some charm to the post-apocalyptic feel to the early Fallout games. Lucky for you not every NPC even has the luxury of being fully voice acted or having an animated head.

Was it really clay? I always thought those were renders.

>>11803730
iirc its the doom method of starting out as clay to get a general sense of the design then made and animated in a computer 3D software.

Clayfaggotry looks fine for 2D sprites of monsters. 3D rendered on humans is ugly uncanny valley shit.

They aren't fucking claymation you zoomers. That's just what shitty 90s western CG character models looked like.

They don't look too bad. Nowhere near the visual monstrosity that is Planescape: Torment.

>>11805338
torment is kino

you sound like my ex-wife who refused to watch King of the Hill bc “the characters are ugly”

>>11805607

Honestly? Based.

I always had that same reaction to the wave of ugly post-Ren & Stimpy children's cartoons. It was cool when done once with an insane artiste driving it to actually break some boundaries in an interesting way. Any more than that though, Spongebob and Rugrats and all the rest of that, just makes me feel depressed. Even the freaky yellow monster-people of The Simpsons are super cute (well, once the earliest episodes are done anyway) compared to this kind of aggressive unpleasantness. Stupid American marketers filtering out anything that isn't somehow abrasive and ironic.

It's okay if the show is good enough of course. I didn't mind King of the Hill. (Also the relative realism of that show's style helped.
Real Texans are, if anything, even less attractive-looking than the ones in the show.)

You'd enjoy Spitting Image :3

Great post. Shows like Hey Arnold and Rugrats had plenty of hideous looking characters.

King of the Hill at least had a realism to it. The characters often look slightly better than the average IRL person.
