I thought that Cameron's special effects in "Titanic" (1997) were
startlingly wonderful. I don't know how much of it relied upon models and
how much upon computer graphics but I have been led to believe that he used
a lot of CG. It's now nearly ten years later, so I suspect that CG effects
can be made even more believable now than was possible then.

IIRC he used computer graphics to place and pose duplicates of
life and model images. When I saw it, I put it in a class with
2001 for special effects, something I hadn't felt possible.

"Titanic" was shown in high definition on HBO a couple of weeks ago and I
was blown away. Despite it's soapiness, it is a wonderful and remarkably
beautiful film. As you say, the special effects were in a class with
2001's: both gorgeous and convincing.
