Ever since the existence of 3D computer-generated imagery, people have strived to develope realistic life-like characters that naturally blend into life action movies. And 1993, Jurassic Park set new standards for visual effects and digital compositing, showcasing amazing full-motion CGI dinosaurs that awed not only audiences but also pros in the visual effects industry.

As time goes by, technologies used in the industry as well as people's experiences and skills have greatly improved. And the result: the creation of more and more extrodinary CGI characters. Here are some of my favorite ones in recent years:

The Dragon in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The dragon in the 4th Harry Potter movie captured all my attention when i was watching the movie. The textures, the lightings, and the movements are all so realistic. The interactions among the dragon, Harry and the enviroment are so precise and plausible to the point that it really isn't hard to believe this Hungarian Horntail really does exist.
