The "chrome" balls your referring to are graphical representations of the more that 1,800 panospheres we shot to create the textures used in virtually all of the New York shots.

On the contrary, every shot of Hulk, the Aliens and all of our Iron Man shots are fully CG... And many with Thor, Black Widow and Hawk Eye as well.

Thats so crazy! The movie looked so realistic but actually most of it is computer generated. Inconceivable! :0

It's always helpful for a director to be knowledgeable about the visual effects process. Much of the time, visual effects is one of the first departments on a film and we stay on until the very end. Visual effects supervisors provide a number of services during that time from helping plan the shoots to educating the director to what he/she can expect to see at each stage of the post process, to making suggestions which may help guide the creative. VFX Supervisors have to wear many hats.

At ILM we had roughly 200 folks working on the film. I can't speak for the other VFX houses.

Back in 2006 ILM's physical production unit (the model shop and stages) was spun off and became an independent company called Kerner Optical. Although we no longer operate a model shop, we still incorporate models and miniatures in the effect work we do when we feel it will benefit the shot(s).

Yes, we use Maya for our feature animation. It's a mature, powerful and extendable package.
