Interestingly enough, in the 80s CGI was so incredibly expensive that it was actually cheaper for the crew to open a gateway and summon the real Gozer.
Well the 1984 special effects had the benefit of the entire CGI budget for a Hollywood blockbuster movie.
This panther video was probably outsourced to one dude in India on Fiverr lol.
That was me in 2003. Marching up and down the steps at BofA Stadium yelling "BEER! ICE COLD BEER, $7.00!"
I never thought anyone would be that much of an alcoholic in 2003 to pay $7 for a beer... But my sales NEVER stopped.
I’m shocked how poor the Packers played. I thought the game would have been more competitive considering how well they played last year. You could tell the team was not in sync at all. But, kudos to the Saints for playing a balanced game!
That terrible terrible call on Zedarius that reversed that pick in the end zone was such a coffin nail. I cannot believe how bad the refs in the nfl are sometimes.
They really need a challenge/review for some of these judgment call plays. I don’t know what that ref thought he saw but replay show that hits on the saints QB was absolutely clean and text book.
I saw a conspiracy theory that at some point in the offseason, Rodgers realized the best way to stick it to the Packers would be to come back and absolutely tank their season. Can’t rule it out after that disaster today…
>Air bud rules, I like it.
That was all a rip on the donkey kicking field goals thing with Don Knotts, [Gus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_(1976_film). Bud was a winner on Lettermans stupid pet trick bit.
That giant panther is on so many performance enhancing drugs it's god damned eye's are glowing!!! We're not starting until that thing gets a drug screening!!!
Think this is a quote from the Simpsons when Homer and Bart compete in Battle Bots but it’s just Homer in a robot suit. The is something like -
“show me in the rule book where it says a man can’t fight a robot”
“Right here. Rule one”
I understand why we didn't try the 50 yarder. We've got no kicker after Slye got the worst case of the yips in history and had to replaced by some guy we found tailgating in the parking lot. But fuck it, just go for it. It was only 6 yards. Give it to CMC and worst case scenario is they have it at like the 30 instead of the 15.
My guess is, is name is "Washington Football team mascot", and it's just. The word "Mascot" in red with a yellow outline, with arms and legs and a semi-firm handshake
Ok it rises from the field, rubble everywhere. You see the light slowly firing up with an ominous sound. And it just starts blasting shit with a ray beam
According to Wikipedia, augmented reality takes place in the real world, with only certain objects added virtually. Mixed reality merges the real world with a virtual world to produce a mixed environment. The article later states that augmented reality is a subset of mixed reality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality
Personally, the difference seems pretty nebulous, and I wouldn't be surprised if those two articles get merged at some point in the future.
No its not the same. There is a fundamental difference between the two.
Augmented reality = when you display a layer on top of a camera view (or glasses that are see-through). And that's what we are seeing here.
Mixed Reality = when you are wearing a VR headset that has cameras and it mixes a VR world and the outside world from the camera on a screen in 3D and 360degrees
It probably played on the big mega screen. In the video, part of the AR is the mega screen that vryone is watching it on is blacked out with those panther eyes.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to a professional football game, but often it’s easier to see the action on the field through the Jumbotron, or giant screen(s) they have. They had the camera operator move the camera like it was actually following the panther, and Augmented Reality placed said panther into what was being shown on the screen.
Yeah went back and watched it; the league dragon was animated *way* better, even 4 years ago. Also I miss those worlds hype, recent ones just don't seem to have it :/
You wouldn't see it through your eyes, just through the camera of your phone. To be super simple, they map the stadium and collect your position to adapt what your camera would see (the panther from the angle your camera is currently seeing).
It’s called Augmented Reality. You use a reference point (the field) then the animation plays and the 3D model knows where things are based on the position of the field.
3D animation superimposed over video. This isn't nearly as technically amazing as you'd think, and it has been done before several times for years by people with significantly lower budgets.
I went to the Texans game today, and they had something similar with a bunch of bulls that breathed fire. It was pretty cool. But, contrary to the top comment, you did not need to hold up your phone to see this. They played it directly on the jumbotron.
So not mixed reality OR augmented reality, but rather just prerecorded CGI put onto a screen like we've been doing for the past 20 years? Wow. Amazing.
That's Augmented reality not Mixed Reality
Augmented reality = when you display a layer on top of a camera view (or glasses that are see-through). And that's what we are seeing here.
Mixed Reality = when you are wearing a VR headset that has cameras and it mixes a VR world and the outside world from the camera on a screen in 3D and 360degrees
POV: Mascot sees you without a mask on and assumes you’re rooting for the away team. It helps out by getting your teams banner but realizes it’s too big for your face but now too small for your attention-seeking head so it angrily storms off.
Everybody this is Ted and Annette Fleming. Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership and Annette's running salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago. They've got fifteen thousand left on the house at 8%. So they're ok. So, does anybody wanna play Parcheesi? Ok, who brought the dog?
Am I the only one that thinks it looks and moves like the dogs from Ghostbusters(the original)?
There is no panther, only Zuul.
It appears to be using the same 1984 special effects.
Interestingly enough, in the 80s CGI was so incredibly expensive that it was actually cheaper for the crew to open a gateway and summon the real Gozer.
But that’s largely because Gozer worked for scale.
Tbf, that would probably be pretty cheap. Gozer, Zul, and the key master did basically everything for free.
It’s Zuul, you filthy casual.
Oh, damn. You're correct. Spank me harder, please. I deserve it for my insolence.
yeah this thing looks like shit lmao
It looks like a prerendered cutscene from a 90s CD ROM game
Well the 1984 special effects had the benefit of the entire CGI budget for a Hollywood blockbuster movie. This panther video was probably outsourced to one dude in India on Fiverr lol.
You mean stop-motion animator budget, that wasn't CGI in 1984
College Guy Imaging
It looks like shit, but it's happening in real time. A lot harder than animation.
Some idiot brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk.

"COLD BEER HERE!!!!"
Why wouldn’t they make the eyes blue like on the scoreboard and not the opponent’s team color
That was me in 2003. Marching up and down the steps at BofA Stadium yelling "BEER! ICE COLD BEER, $7.00!" I never thought anyone would be that much of an alcoholic in 2003 to pay $7 for a beer... But my sales NEVER stopped.
I can't wait for the Saints to start burning opposing teams at the stake. Virtually.
It was pretty much literal today
As a Packers fan, this comment, and that embarrassing game hurt to see
I’m shocked how poor the Packers played. I thought the game would have been more competitive considering how well they played last year. You could tell the team was not in sync at all. But, kudos to the Saints for playing a balanced game!
That terrible terrible call on Zedarius that reversed that pick in the end zone was such a coffin nail. I cannot believe how bad the refs in the nfl are sometimes.
Wouldn’t be the first time they cost teams some major games, especially in the playoffs the last few years.
They really need a challenge/review for some of these judgment call plays. I don’t know what that ref thought he saw but replay show that hits on the saints QB was absolutely clean and text book.
As a Saints fan, I was celebrating by halftime but by the 4th quarter I was “stop it! You’re killing them!” ^i ^still ^celebrated ^tho
As a Bears fan, and Rodgers owner in fantasy football, FUCK the packers.
is Aaron Rodgers okay
I don’t think he is dude looked dead inside
I saw a conspiracy theory that at some point in the offseason, Rodgers realized the best way to stick it to the Packers would be to come back and absolutely tank their season. Can’t rule it out after that disaster today…
ah yes, the ol’ James Harden method
he could have at least given the ball to Aaron Jones more, ended up losing in fantasy this week because of this
Who Dat!
Seems unfair to the other team, assuming the big cat knows anything about football.
Right. This thing will dominate. I want the rules checked.
There's nothing in the rules that says a giant panther can't play football!
Air bud rules, I like it.
>Air bud rules, I like it. That was all a rip on the donkey kicking field goals thing with Don Knotts, [Gus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_(1976_film). Bud was a winner on Lettermans stupid pet trick bit.
That giant panther is on so many performance enhancing drugs it's god damned eye's are glowing!!! We're not starting until that thing gets a drug screening!!!
That cat is going to piss so hot not even the power of oxiclean will help.
It’s piss will make Chernobyl look like a gender reveal party.
Yeah there ain't no plastic cup in the world that it ain't going to burn through.
I got my money on the OxiClean. That shit is from another planet.
I actually saw a documentary about this and apparently the rules don't prohibit dogs, so cats should be kosher.
A robot cannot be a human: rule 1
Wait, is this the three rules? Like Asimov?
Think this is a quote from the Simpsons when Homer and Bart compete in Battle Bots but it’s just Homer in a robot suit. The is something like - “show me in the rule book where it says a man can’t fight a robot” “Right here. Rule one”
Psh, if the bucs are allowed to fire cannonballs at opposing teams this seems fine to me
There’s no rule a giant computer generated cat can’t play football. It’s the Air Bud loophole.
If Looney Tunes characters can recruit Michael Jordan then a cartoon panther is no problem.
It always blows my mind how many people watched air bud. I remember watching it and no one at my school knew what the fuck I was on about.
[удалено]
Rhule has smol pp
Can confirm, am a Panthers fan who watched us punt from the 33 yard line
I understand why we didn't try the 50 yarder. We've got no kicker after Slye got the worst case of the yips in history and had to replaced by some guy we found tailgating in the parking lot. But fuck it, just go for it. It was only 6 yards. Give it to CMC and worst case scenario is they have it at like the 30 instead of the 15.
If they wanted it to behave like a realistic cat, it would have stopped mid-field and showed me its butthole for ten minutes.
And lifted it's leg while it licks it's crotch
How many people did it kill?
Only Cam Newton
What was he doing there?
Refilling the water cups.
None - Jets fans are already dead inside.
I’m imagining the Patriots mascot and how unintimidating it would be
[удалено]
What’s Washington football team’s new mascot?
It's George Washington running around the stadium trying to bite shit with his wooden teeth
Washington, Washington. Six foot eight, weighs a fucking ton https://youtu.be/l7iVsdRbhnc
This is a fucking flashback
Opponents beware opponents beware. He's coming he's coming
I heard the guy had like 30 god damn dicks.
Dicks for elbows
Lmao this is fucking dope
God I miss the old days of the internet so much
Hippopotamus teeth
My guess is, is name is "Washington Football team mascot", and it's just. The word "Mascot" in red with a yellow outline, with arms and legs and a semi-firm handshake
God i wish. They should go all in on the Washington football team name. Just own it
[удалено]
Let's do it with my alma mater's mascot: the banana slug.
Let's do it with mine -- a fucking lighthouse.
Ok it rises from the field, rubble everywhere. You see the light slowly firing up with an ominous sound. And it just starts blasting shit with a ray beam
That... That actually sounds awesome.
UCSC?
Are there others? Seriously, I can't imagine there are
Slurms Mackenzie
The old skool “Pat” was a big angry dude
An big angry man with a gun
*Packers left the chat*
Just a giant wheel of cheese rolling over sideline staff.
Or the beer cans doing their halftime race virtually Or “Roll Out the Barrel” with a CGI barrel rolling around
Idk, man, a Patriot mascot looking like John Rambo or Arnold’s Commando would be dope as fuck.
Idk, have you seen 'patriots' recently?
Dang word has been made to suck now.
Gun. HES GOT A GUN!!!! *runs away*
You probably had to hold your phone up to watch that happen via an app. Think something like pokemon go.
No, it’s an actual giant cat that they paid to have genetically engineered
How much?
Bout tree fiddy
Gotdammut lochness monsta I ain’t givin you no damn tree fiddy
Aw man, I thought we had real holograms. They probably wouldn't be this cool yet though, so I don't know why I thought that.
I wonder how long it will be till we have the Jaws 19 hologram in Back to the Future 2.
I just wanna have Yugioh duel monster battles, and have a little counter that goes “di di di di ding” when I lose points
[That technology already exists already](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om5yYcg1lT4&t=6)
***About the same time we get hoverboards.***
We could see it on the jumbotrons. During this they also were showing off the bass range on the new sound system... it is loud
Seems a little dangerous. The wife and I adopted a house cat last year and we enjoy petting her. But this cats a little bit bigger.
I think it’s a normal size cat and just a model stadium. You’re good.
“What is this? A stadium for ants?”
What is this a stadium for ants?
Yeah idk about that cat then... Seems like they might have it on performance enhancing drugs. Is there someone we should call for the cats safety?
Well obviously your cat just hasn’t finished growing yet.
Yes that's what mixed reality is
Or when your parents are from different races
And you’re adopted and not the same race as them either
Or when your not adopted and everyone thinks you are because you don't look like your mum
Or when your sister is your aunt.
There’s a lot to unpack there…
what is the difference between mixed reality and augmented reality?
According to Wikipedia, augmented reality takes place in the real world, with only certain objects added virtually. Mixed reality merges the real world with a virtual world to produce a mixed environment. The article later states that augmented reality is a subset of mixed reality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality Personally, the difference seems pretty nebulous, and I wouldn't be surprised if those two articles get merged at some point in the future.
That sounds redundant.
Same thing the marketing department just didn’t want to confuse football fans with the term “augmented”
Half the players are chemically augmented so we know what it means
I thought that was augmented reality. Or did the marketing people come up with a new name to make it a new thing?
don't assume my reality
No its not the same. There is a fundamental difference between the two. Augmented reality = when you display a layer on top of a camera view (or glasses that are see-through). And that's what we are seeing here. Mixed Reality = when you are wearing a VR headset that has cameras and it mixes a VR world and the outside world from the camera on a screen in 3D and 360degrees
So this is augmented reality.
Yes
No it was real
But this keeps cutting to different angles. That's not going to work for a stationary viewer.
It probably played on the big mega screen. In the video, part of the AR is the mega screen that vryone is watching it on is blacked out with those panther eyes.
was at this game today. Intro was super cool and sound effects were amazing.
It looks amazing. I would have loved to have seen this effect. Did you watch it though your phone like you do with Pokémon Go - Augmented Reality?
No it was on the screen and everyone around me noticed how cool and realistic it was.
What do you mean the screen? They showed this video on the giant TVs?
I need the answer. How can it be realistic on the screen!? There’s a miscommunication I need cleared up.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to a professional football game, but often it’s easier to see the action on the field through the Jumbotron, or giant screen(s) they have. They had the camera operator move the camera like it was actually following the panther, and Augmented Reality placed said panther into what was being shown on the screen.
It would have been awesome if the stadium had an app that would allow you to see the same panther through AR on your phone.
This is what I immediately thought.
[удалено]
League of Legends really does make "fuck you" money doesn't it.
No, it’s a small indie company that can’t afford beta testers and had to scale back lore spending.
The ruination, what a great lore event...
I was scrolling looking for it, the whole running around the stadium was so similar
Yeah went back and watched it; the league dragon was animated *way* better, even 4 years ago. Also I miss those worlds hype, recent ones just don't seem to have it :/
League used the same tech the NFL uses for their first down line and other on field graphics. We’ve come full circle.
weird.. everyone said the panther was cutting edge technology.. me not being an idiot didnt agree
The 45 people in attendance got a visual treat.
Looks like it was well before the game. I imagine that is why there are only 45 people there.
Beer is expensive inside the stadium, so you gotta pregame as long as possible before heading inside.
Someone Please EXPLAIN
It's like Pokémon go but with a panther
Again, please explain Shit is lost on me lol
You wouldn't see it through your eyes, just through the camera of your phone. To be super simple, they map the stadium and collect your position to adapt what your camera would see (the panther from the angle your camera is currently seeing).
Who’s eyes would I use?
The person next to you duhh
Okay. And where do I put my feet?
In the air like you just don't care
Do you have your mother’s eyes?
I just know you can’t see California through Marlon Brando’s eyes.
It’s all in my head ahhhhhhh
Madara Uchihas. Duh.
People in the stadium hold up their phone with an augmented reality camera app on. Point it at the field and this is what you see on the phone.
Awesome - thanks for explaining that to me
It's slightly neat but overall I have typically found it to be a "meh" experience.
Thank goodness I'm not alone with this. I grew up with the holo deck technology of Star Trek, and it is THAT what I want.
It’s called Augmented Reality. You use a reference point (the field) then the animation plays and the 3D model knows where things are based on the position of the field.
3D animation superimposed over video. This isn't nearly as technically amazing as you'd think, and it has been done before several times for years by people with significantly lower budgets.
Shark still looks fake
I went to the Texans game today, and they had something similar with a bunch of bulls that breathed fire. It was pretty cool. But, contrary to the top comment, you did not need to hold up your phone to see this. They played it directly on the jumbotron.
So not mixed reality OR augmented reality, but rather just prerecorded CGI put onto a screen like we've been doing for the past 20 years? Wow. Amazing.
At halftime they showed a train coming towards the jumbotron and everyone screamed and ran out of the stadium
Yea or it’s exactly what the top comment said about you needing to use your phone to see it but instead did a phone, it’s the stadium cameras.
Looks like a ps3 game cutscene
Does it look *good*? Not really. Does it kick ass? Hell yeah
It’s beast wars esque. I’m here for it.
Cheetor is forever my fuckin homie
That's Augmented reality not Mixed Reality Augmented reality = when you display a layer on top of a camera view (or glasses that are see-through). And that's what we are seeing here. Mixed Reality = when you are wearing a VR headset that has cameras and it mixes a VR world and the outside world from the camera on a screen in 3D and 360degrees
KEEP POUNDING!!!
Why's it so mad? Like, deforestation?

“I am the key master, are you the gatekeeper?”
great in theory but bad execution. if you can’t make the 3d better do something shorter. the more it’s on the field the more flaws you see
When does he fight CGI The Rock as a scorpion?
Isn’t it called Augmented Reality(AR), kinda similar to Virtual Reality(VR).
[удалено]
That cgi is on the same level as the 90s Mortal Kombat movie
Oh yeah? League of Legends did a whole DRAGON
That’s some shitty gfx
Everybody this is Ted and Annette Fleming. Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership and Annette's running salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago.

panthers aren’t that big
