Why couldn't someone who work's for a special effects/CGI company not use one of these PC's in there spare time?. It could also be someone rich
with enough money to be able to buy one of these high end CGI computer's that are used for movie's and also has some skills to utilize it.
There has been a lot of recent UFO video's that are of very high quality CGI lately.
For the sake of argument. I think (in fact I know, I'm a fairly avid user but I also know people in the motion graphics industry) it's dangerous to
think that software like photoshop or video and 3D rasterizing/editing software that are available to decent "regular" personal computers can't
produce material of the likes that would be needed in order to produce images of enough quality to match the ones discussed in this thread.
High end, specialized machines today are mostly used for render farms or for complex simulations of materials and physics, usually with customized
software and/or scripts.
After effects, photoshop and some 3D software on a decent high-end pc would be enough to produce material such as this. In fact After effects +
photoshop would do just fine.
