ILM has done some incredible work with robots on TRANSFORMERS and IRON MAN and has come up with some new shading, lighting and rendering tools on TERMINATOR SALVATION to make the CG work on those shiny metal guys more efficient and accurate. You can read all about it this week along with Rhythm & Hues' new assortment of characters in NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN, which, surprisingly, out-performed the battle of the machines during last weekend's Memorial Day holiday box office.
