Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Looks good. Sometimes movies with lots of stars don't work, but sometimes the chemistry is great. Hopefully it's the latter.

Not much into comic stuff, so the most interesting part of that for me was Nine Inch Nails user added image

Though it does look like it could be interesting

I don't remember the girl in the avengers but I certainly approve of the one they picked. Almost makes me want to be a naughty super villain so she can punish me.

Did some searching on the internets because I don't know who the guy with the bow is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_(2012_film)
looks like it's Hawkeye (never heard of him until now)
The girl is black widow, apparently she's been around with a few of the other marvel characters but was first introduced to the avengers with ironman

Be funny if they bought in all their girlfriends as well

Really? Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner? Alrighty then. These movie adaptations of comics are getting so tired. The Iron Man movies were pretty alright. Thor was awful though Hemsworth is pretty uhh interesting from the neck down. And didn't care for the Captain America movie either. The one I really liked was Hulk (with Edward Norton) and he's not there so ppbbbt!

I really don't see how we can guess whether it will be good from trailers. In my opinion, what will make or break it is whether the script/story has a compelling arc and how the chemistry of the characters works out. I don't think you can really get that from the trailers.

No the lost transformers found a whole film of there own - its called "Battleship" and yes its based off the Hasbro game (can`t see it myself)

I love the new trailer but do agree Norton should have been in it but after the bust up with Marvel I see why he`s not

Oh and hating the name change aswell - so not needed

Marvel Avengers Assemble (2012) Watch the Official trailer | HD - YouTube

Hahaha nice one tweety LOL

Stwert: We all tend to judge movies off a trailer. But the comic book thing is becoming same ol' same ol' and tiring. But saying that I'm looking forward to seeing how Iron Man 3 will pan out as it has a new director in Shane Black, who was responsible for the Lethal Weapon series of screenplays and is highly rated to do a good job- he understands action - I hope he does it well as Jon Favreau did a great job on the first film but the second was pretty lame by far and pointless.....

However the Dark Knight Rises is the one for me this year in the comic book genre! The trailer is pretty low key too

I'm curious to know how you judge a movie to be pointless
