    To be fair, i really liked the proof of concept design and even the concept art with 4 hands. They were quite neat, but i suppose that there's no way to motion capture an extra pair of limbs that don't exist without them looking awkward compared to real ones, so i understand why that was scraped as well

    I'm no movie maker I just make VR avatars but from what I can tell from that it likely would just take separate mocap takes to get the arms down and tweaking the animations. Might also help to have a tie between one set of arms and the other so they mirror each other a bit more naturally. This movie was also made over a decade ago so there's no telling if they were actually capable of that at that time, i just wanted to toss my two cents out on this idea. Also I agree, I think my favorite design was the oooold ones where the na'vi look more like bioluminescent deep sea looking aliens.

    At the time those 3D graphics were nothing to scoff at. The lighting, materials and the minutia of the facial animations (like how the lips move and has such detailed rendering) it was unlike anything else being done in the industry at that point in time.

    For basically just a prototype, the opd design is not bad at all, I believe it was really impressive for Century Fox to see it for the first time. It's just look bad if it compared to the new one.

    Although Worthington and Saldana were amazing as Jake and Ney, it would have been great if the actress from Lost and the guy who played Jake in the test footage had been cast in alternative roles in the final movie.

    its called a test. that was never going to be the final version of it, but yeah, the purpose was to show what the end result would look like. we do this in animations all the time. its so that we dont waste the budget on something that can not be done. so first we test it to see if its even possible. at that time, avatar was an impossible project. it only ever was made into what it is today because cameron is such a perfectionist. which is also why (as ıve heard) many people didnt believed in him and his production and quit before the movie was finished. the first movie was made about in 6 to 10 years as well actually even much much longer.
