I wanted to post this because I saw how many people still think the Xeno in Alien 3 is CGI. It's not, they used Puppets. Only one scene was done with CGI and that is a crack on the Xeno's head dome when it gets killed at the end. Here is a fantastic documentary on the making of Alien3 that explains how they did the special effects in Alien 3. Enjoy!! :D [Center]~Part 1:[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7aQ8f7oyw][b]Visual Effects Part 1 [The Making Of Alien³][/b][/url][/Center] [Center]~Part 2:[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BljJgfJGOtU][b]Visual Effects Part 2 [The Making Of Alien³][/b][/url] [Center]~Part 3:[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEg85k9UEL8][b]Visual Effects Part 3 [The Making Of Alien³][/b][/url][/Center] [Center]Xeno Puppet[/Center] [Center][IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2dha6tk.jpg[/IMG][/Center] [Center]Xeno Puppet2[/Center] [Center][IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/2uyrsbk.jpg[/IMG][/Center] *Btw if ever you want to know more about Alien 3, talk to staffmember [url=http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/member/28]xeno_alpha_07[/url], he knows just about everything on the Alien franchise and he has a wonderful blog we are integrating to the site soon. :)

Yeah i watched this on the special features. i heard this was pretty revolutionary and what not. i thought it looked really bad personally, but it was new and this movie was a little hard to film with just a guy in a suit for what they wanted to do

Visual effects at the time, and its limitations, but Scott already done with spinners lifted by ropes, but always I said that Scott is a different guy.

Oh that's right. I forgot that too! But regarding the puppet technique, it still didn't work and that is the main point. As I now remember the only CGI shot was the cracking surface of the xeno when exposed to the cooling effect of water on the super heated exoskeleton.

Even if the alien was not CGI the problem was that the alien was not as impressive as the other 2 alien films that's my only problem with alien 3. But I enjoyed the film and its still a good sequel if the film made the alien better looking like the other two it would be my favourite of the series but to be fair the film suffered a horrible pre-production anyway.
