How Iron Man's VFX Evolved Over 11 Years | Movies Insider
If you look at Iron Man's first suit, the Mark 1, and compare it to the hero's nanotech suit from "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame," a lot has changed, but it's not just the technology in the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Animation tech has also evolved in the real world to make this suit possible on the big screen. We spoke with some of the VFX artists who worked on Iron Man’s suit over the past 11 years including Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, Cinesite/Trixter, The Embassy, and Framestore to find out what challenges they faced along the way and how they were able to make the suit look so real.

How Iron Man's VFX Evolved Over 11 Years | Movies Insider
As much as I thought his nano tech suit was cool and innovative, the first Iron Man suits are the ones that stick with me the most since they're the most realistic ones.
Yeah
Yup, they looked so real and had much more detail
It was very "alien tech" like. I agree with you but i wish i could see it in more diferent situations, it would probably be too op because it can transform itself in almost anything tony wants. but it would be awesome anyway
MK-1 was definitely very realistic (except for the flamethrower range), I suppose there are a lot of ppl who are handy enough (and have enough $ and time) would be able to build it.
Was it more realistic in its animation, or simply more realistic in its feasibility in our world...hmm i personally think the nano tech suit is as realistic as you could make a nano tech suit, it's just that the possibility of that liquid metal type of material is so far out of our reach, it makes it seem fake when really, from a design and animation standpoint, it's spot on as perfect as it could be :/
Yet can you believe this was made in 2008? Compared to Endgame, the CGI effects in the live action film are still timeless today
And it aged like fine glass of wine.
Same, the CGI it looks real
You can be anything in Movie
Cgi and animation were really good in the late 2000s. Pixar made Wall-E, Cars, Up and a few others I think in the late 2000s and they looked amazing. And that was almost 20 years after pixar started (1990s)
I just Don't know how The American CGI is So so so oooooo Realistic. I just don't understand How? I need The Secret!
So long story short, over the span of 11 years, RDJ became a voice actor.
Not actually. He still has to do all movements on set with others while wearing a mocap suit
Uh no, he's still acting underneath most of the cgi suit. Guess you didn't pay attention to this video very well.
I'm glad to see that there are still those who don't understand hyperbolic exaggeration for use in humor. It was a joke.

So?
Collateral Channel do you have any common sense whatsoever?
I had a subscription to Iron Man and Avengers comics in the 80's. Tony Stark's personality in the comics was always a bit flat. RDJ and John Favreau take all of the credit for making Tony Stark a fascinating and likeable character.
@@cajunboy67 Sure it's a bit flat but there are times that are interesting about comic Tony Stark such as dealing with alcoholism. So that being said, the comic DID reflected on RDJ's dealing with alcoholism and that's why the Iron Man trilogy mentioned his habit a few times. Also, it was used to be distributed by Paramount, not Disney, which it make sense why the movie was different compare to some several MCU movies which it's full of dirty humor and adult themes. Plus terrorism.
Take note that Tony only has one suit made out of actual iron
@aydooknow No he meant that the Mark 1 was made of iron bc tha rest like Mark 2 is made out of gold and titanium alloy.
@aydooknow that too, but i pretty sure he means titanium
He points that out when he is holding a newspaper that says something like “Ironman appears again” and he says something like “we technically it’s a gold-titanium alloy, but I like the sound of it” so that’s how they explain it.
It was not even iron.
No if u meant mark 1 from ironman 2008 in the cave than no Mark 1 was made from salvage missiles from stark industry which I think is made light weight aloys what do u think please reply if you find it unconvinced
Evolved? I'm sorry but Iron Man 1 still has the most realistic (CGI) armor of all of them.
The CGI was flawless until after Avengers 2. It went downhill from there
I completely agree but at the same time I do understand that as the movies went on, the bigger the budget and the cgi demand became much more greater
It's probably the shiny-ness and them wanting the armor to be more "heroic" as opposed to human-like in form.
They just got easier to animate
IP Films bullshit, Thanos looks just as real as the humans
The suits don’t just represent Tony Stark’s advancing technology, they represent marvel’s increasing cgi budget
Advancing cgi budget? **Looks at PS3 cutscene Black Panther final fight** Yea....right....
@@jeromealday614 what

@@hatme6078 oh i see. yea i think its just some lighting issues causing the bad graphics, but i agree that marvel should have done better
In Iron Man 2 my jaw dropped during the suitcase armor sequence. It looked so real and everything made sense visually. One of the many reasons why I don't like the nanotech armor is that it looks like Tony weighs 10 pounds in that thing. It looks very animated/cartoony
I found a anime version of your profile pick...is that the original?
@@grumpycat6429 His profile pic? It's a famous Claude Monet painting of his wife and his son.
@@grumpycat6429 lmaoo
People always said that Iron Man 2 is the "worst MCU movie" said Marvel fans. I think it's best that the movie is still important to the MCU despite the writing is sub-par and the villain only exist. The F-1 fight scene with the suitcase is great.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 lmao iron man 2 is really really bad, but I've watched it a lot and I'm kinda starting to like it tbh. its still a lot worse than the other ones, but its better than some movies out there. the movie was important to the structure and the buildup of the MCU tho, and it had some good scenes
Endgame and infinity was suit didn't have a metalic texture. It looked like a tight t shirt. Whereas iron man 1's suit had scratch marks, armor like shape, bends, paint comes off when he gets hit. I just love the first one.
Pretty sure it’s because he was wearing Nanotech armor, it’s supposed to be tighter looking opposed to it being bulkier. I’m guessing that they were going for a sleeker design? Since Tony has been Iron-Man for so long, he’d have to find and make new materials for better more powerful suits.
He changed to nano tech probably because it was way lighter than his older models and easy to carry around since it just sits on his chest?
not sure if they are more realistic, although I feel the same about the early movies. I feel like they are more relatable since we all saw panels and surfaces similar in real life before. The nano-tech stuff is just so far ahead and advanced.
@@philipprudolf8302 yeah because iron man is sci fi and in the comics its also slim and the comics are the source material for the movies
So true. I couldn't wrap my head around for why Infinity war and Endgame armor looked so bad to me, especially in 4k, it's absurd how much it resembles video game cut scenes...
ironman mark 3 felt like the best suit in a realistic capacity. It really felt real and not just pixels formed over a body
yeah
"Let's start where tony stark started..." I legit thought he was gonna cut to Jeff Bridges shouting "In a cave!.... With a box of scraps!"
Here's a like bud, for your awesome comment ;)
Missed opportunity
Still prefer the older suits. Those suits were heavy and intimidating.
Well said, nanotech one is like spider man's spandex
Heavy, slow, limited functionality
M8 homecoming is the best
@@pineaplehead5020 Yeah, it's improvement
@@pineaplehead5020 are you talking about the nano suit? beacuse tony can create ANYTHING that comes to his head
I prefer the CGI in the first Iron Man, even upon rewatch. Somehow they made the endgame suit look like a video game in such an expensive movie.
It’s because they used a lot of a real suit
It’s because they had a huge budget, but barely any time. All the money in the world won’t give you a second more of time.
I think that was the style
Endgame suit looked realistic. Infinity war suit was cartoonish.
Like they said in the video, civil war and age of ultron suits looks cool too but yeah in Iron Man 1 mark 3 suit looks much better over every suits especially the nano ones....it feels much like alien costume though ngl, but i still like it coz it's iron man
It’s so sad how a 2008 movie has better cgi than black panther
@@RippleOfReddit you can compare the time management for the movies lol
black panther's production team wasted so much time doing the sand particle animation. it's cool and all to look at but that seems less important than getting done the main components of your movie and as a result, you get a short pointless intro, a cool credit sequence and an unappealing looking end fight. that's like a cook focusing on perfecting his mashed potatoes rather than cooking and seasoning the steak, aka the main entree, correctly.
@@Richard-pt3dd you probably eat your steak well done
@@RippleOfReddit Regardless of the time, it was still worse.
The sad thing is Internerds whining about things they will never do, like be creative. All y'all emotionally stunted idiots do is whine. Thankfull, covid is here to cull this dumbass population of entitled zombies down.
The suits are definitely some of the most underappreciated parts of the VFX. Making them and animating them so they not only function in a glitchless and visually correcct way, but the animation concepts to convey weight and power had to come through in order for them to feel seamless. Thanks for the video, the content was extremely interesting.
I didn’t even realise that the Mark 1 was CGI in some parts
Me too o thought it was real and in the 2nd and the 3rd film it was cgi
Just like the quantum realm suits in endgame

The amount of creative ways Iron Man has used to change into his suit is truly amazing from a story perspective. My favorite is the helicopter scene in civil war
Mine is the suit case scene, It just looked so awesome and I loved it, It was my favorite moment in iron man 2 tbh
How badass those suits are they can't more badass than the summon suit in ironman 3
This is so thorough, organized, and well-researched. It has a ton of attention but it deserves so much more.
Amazing, I didn't realize how difficult it must have been for creating this level of VFX perfection. Hats off to the VFX artist. Fabulous job 👏👏
The older suits were more real like. In the recent movies the suit just looks too cartoony
Something about the older lighting made the suits look more realistic.
I bet it’s the more obvious imperfections in the old suit & the heavy feelingo animation.
@@obblivionkr yeah man and the suit ups were amazing
Civil war is the best suit!
@@vedantartstudio1094 Nah the civil war suit definitely looked kinda fake. The one in iron man 1 looked best
The Nano suit was probably my least favorite suit. Something about the older suits and how they came together at his call was super cool. Overall, I loved all of it.
One of the main reasons I liked the Transformers movies is because the auto bots and and the deceptions had so much details in their designs and they looked realistic, it’s the same with Ironman. I also hated his nanotech suit because it looked cartoony and lacked the metallic shine of his previous Ironman suits.
Jamari J it’s lame how he taps his chest and the suit just builds around him. It was way more grounded with the pieces having to be manually connected like a robot. Pacific Rim suffered from this too. The first film had badass ‘real’ controls on the Jaegers. The sequel had the controls be totally ‘holographic’ CGI and it’s just so much worse.
I agree, although I love the new creative weapons Tony can use with the nanotech suit, the mechanical movement of each piece falling into place is too cool
@@auralian1428 he made his new armour that way due to obvious advances in technology but actually because it's way easier to do that then wait for a bunch of robot arms to put the pieces on for you.
@@auralian1428 but that's not the point 😂 they didn't change his suit for the sake of coolness or aesthetic or whatever. It was a necessary upgrade, u reall think Tony would be facing against Thanos and his army with titanium suits 😂 it was a necessary upgrade, the nanotech suit gave him access to more weapons, and it literally regenerates a few time when its destroyed. its not lame, it was necessary for the plot
Honestly this video just showed how the first Iron Man's CGI AND practical effects hold up better than the newer iterations. Kind of similar to how Jurassic Park still holds up because of its blend of CG and Practical. Sometimes less really is more.
The mark 85 really just reflects how much work they put over the past decade into the final and perfected suit
Ok. So I wasn't making it up in my head. Iron got more cartoony as the series went on.
Yup
I'd say not more cartoony it's just more smooth and it doesn't look like any suit in real life
@@neferpitou. exactly what i'm thingking. Plus we already get used to the old suit where it's much bulkier (kinda like seeing the rog phone 3 for the first time after seeing the rog phone 1)
it makes sense when you understand that iron man 1 - 3 has less cgi demand than age of ultron, civil war, infinity war and endgame. this is really easy to notice if you compare the iron man suit from spiderman homecoming and infinity war. you can just see the priorities went elsewhere. it's not to say it's bad. but the downgrade of the quality IS noticable

Budget constraints.
I hate how most adults call those movies CGI messes, when in fact it's hundreds of hours of work from hundreds of hours from talented digital artists.
Mathisbuilder animators deserve much more credit
Which adults?
Yeah but I put effort into making a shit, that doesn't make that shit any more than a shit. Very few people discount the effort put in, but the end product still needs to look good
@@ebi_tempura shit loads of stuff in the mcu looks soo good that you wouldn't even notice it's cgi .black panther is one movie where cgi was unpalatable . apparently the movie was rushed
Bad CGI is bad CGI
Personally I like his 3rd suit the most, because it can be impersonated in the modern world and the animations of it were amazing; from the puff marks on the helmet to the technology warped in his suit, it was probably my most favourite . It also shows how his knowledge evolved and many people won’t agree with me but the 3rd personally is the best
Wow, I was really taking the VFX for iron man in the earlier movies for granted. It looked so realistic, I never stopped to question it
The first suit is the coolest looking it was a suit and now it’s a like skin covering
Chach Wa I like the mark 3 the most
Old is gold
You're weird...to each their own i suppose
Well, that is what armor is supposed to do
Mark 50 for me
I've always loved the consistent evolution of Tony's armors. Its all a big collaboration of the writers, artists, designers and vfx crews but it all perfectly fits into how Tony is always learning and applying new tech to his armors.
People complained about marvel mostly relying on cgi not taking into account how much effort the animators put into those scenes.
Because that doesn't matter, why are people even bringing this up, it doesn't matter if you work hard or not, a good result is what matters, we don't care how you got it
@@theoutcast229 and a good result is what you got. the animations, textures, modeling, etc of the suit were genuinely extremely impressive. it was just the fact that marvel decided to take a less realistic approach to the suit.
@@pumkinpatchwork could be that
Do you think the effort put into it excuses the crappy product in the end?
They did an amazing job with the suit in every iron man appearance. I really liked iron man three's customized suits at the end.
Tbh: in Endgame the suit looked most unrealistic and way more CGI than in the earlier movies.
The same could be said about the entire film
Coz nanotech.
I disagree. I'd say the Infinity war suit, and the one at the end of Age of Ultron are easily the fakest looking suits, though the cgi on the suits in Iron Man 3 was often pretty bad as well. But it seems like it had more to do with time and/or money constraints in IM3, whereas the IW and AoU suits looking fake probably had more to do with how they designed them.
@@DropBearFace yup, infinity war costume look so fake, especially in the first suit up scene, where his suit came out from his chest and start to covering his head. Its just doesnt feel right
Nah that's the infinity war suit, the endgame suit looked fantastic
I always liked how realistic and bulky the first iron man suits were, the Nano Tech suit feels too much like magic for a non-magic character like Iron Man

I love how the level of CG & VFX used in MCU & other Hollywood movies has been improved since many years & is still improving & upgrading (which we can see in The Mandalorian's making)
I will NEVER get over the first suit up, it was everything and I will never forget it
it's remarkable that ILM only started using image-based lighting techniques in 2009. I remember reading papers about image-based lighting and light probes as early as 2003, and those were in a realtime context. Then I remember that it takes a number of years for that sort of thing to go from concept to production, and 2009 sounds about right.
I loved it when you could actually see the suit parts being stored somewhere.
Great video and summary! Really appreciated the creators insights on creating it. More content like this please.
So you mean that if they weren’t successful in their cgi of Ironman then thanos would have never existed Hmmm... 🤔
This was a fun and informative watch - thank you.
I think the suits peaked at the Mark III, with a honorable mention of the suitcase suit from Iron Man 2. As a kid, I always liked how he carried the suit in his briefcase, because that's where you keep your business items, and being Iron Man was his business. I was surprised, seeing Iron Man 3, where he walks up to the suit and steps into it. You'd think he could have a model that was folded into quarters, and when he wanted it, it would unfold as he approached and allow him to step into it.
WOW the technology and all the vfx people that goes into the cgi that's mind blowing
I feel that everything looked better back then
My favourite is the *Civil War* suite. The perfect combination between first and last suit.
Yes! And the homecoming suit
As a modeler it really irks me when they say "animators struggled with lighting and textures". Animators didn't do anything about lighting and texturing, those were modelers, texture and lighting artists. Complete separate departments
I feel like a part of history. So much innovation and crazy tech went into making it, and we were the witness to the whole process and its evolution.
It's sooo weird how the first Iron Man has, at most, the best renders of the titular character.
0:13 I believe that the second suit is froam Avengers, 2012. Not Iron man 3
Yeah that triggered me.
Yeeeah. He never wore mark 6 in iron man 3 or was ever at the Avengers tower. That's a pretty dumb mistake to make
Massive MASSIVE respect to marvel editors and the CGI guys behind this
im very humble in how much time have passed and vfx technology improved over the decade
I think the civil war suit was my favorite, love the color. The nanotech suit was interesting and tbh I don’t think tony could’ve taken on thanos without it.... but I do like the simpler versions that separate into multiple pieces
"I used the suit to destroy the suit!"
the suitcase one amazed me the most. when i saw the nanotech it was cool but i didnt get that feeling like i did watching iron man pirated on winter holidays on my laptop those years ago..
The earlier suits are still the most impressive because the individual pieces have to slide in place in a believable manner. This takes a LOT of ingenuity on the animator's part
In simpler words Artists are the real heroes...
Tribute to Tony stark We will pay Disney and Marvel to make more iron man movies We love to see RDJ in that role
So many cool details. Definitely feel like from Civil War on there was a huge "floating head" problem, with Iron Man, War Machine and Spider-Man when he was in the Iron Spider armor
the first movie still looks the best, everything feels heavy and looks worn and imperfect
Gimme the first suit and I’ll kik Tony’s arse from pure looks...the new suits are trash.
The old one looks kinda steampunkish I like it .
Funny how the armors look way better in the first movie then it does in Infinity War and Endgame
I loved Iron man since I was young and saw the animated cartoon and fell in love with the technical aspect of it.
None can top the Mark 3 suit. It's timeless
I honestly think Marvel broke the movie industry. Nothing outside of other pop-culture movies sell as well. A post-Avengers world indeed
post-Avenger?
Name 10 non franchise movies that came out in the 2000s and actually made money. Cinema isn't dead, if anything, we have better movies now and more indie films than ever coming out on streaming services.
This is so impressive. I marvel at the pioneers of visual effects.
marvel. Heh
all that work and first as well as third one (first gold and red one) still looks best
The suits in the first iron man, are the greatest ones! They look the most realistic, even better then the ones from endgame and infinity war. Especially that shot where he blows up the tank and walks away!👌 perfection
It seems like marvel’s iron man cgi devolved, endgame and infinity war suits look bad compared to 2008
But they are logical. They had to show advancement in technology. Nanotech is only end goal that makes sense. While it may not look the best, from Tony's perspective it makes sense. EDIT: Also, i wouldn't say CGI Devolved. It just became less and less what could be possible in our world.
Its not a downgrade it's just different They decided to take a less realistic route as a stylistic choice and to do more interesting things using nanotech
@@colin3ds1 they could have put more effort in making it look real. Just because it's nanotech does not mean the CGI has to look cheap. The problem is not the concept of the nnotech, but rather the bad movement, lighting, shading, teture or other of such things that make it obviously look like CGI
Just a simple sound of hammer hitting a metal scrap. Back then no one had thought how iconic it will be.... ❤️Marvel❤️ Love you 3000❤️

The suitcase iron man suit is my favorite, the suit up is awesome.
it required 10 marvel movies... and 2 spider man posters
Let's face it, the CGI on his suit got better over time. The reason why people prefer his older suits is because it's more realistic and has more of an impact on screen. Since IM1's MKII suit, all of it is basically CG. If his newer suits ever seemed sloppy in IW and EG, it's probably due to budget cuts from having so many big name actors on the same screen.
Yeah Thanos got the majority effort, obviously. Pretty much every time he was on the screen, he looked just great. Hulk in Endgame was also quite expressive. However, the rest of the stuff, they did background blurs to prevent anyone from noticing like with Titan in IW. Everything in Titan is purposefully blurred to prevent people from noticing imperfections and also give the artsy background defocus.
@@AnshumanKumar007 I'm sure if they had another solo IM movie, his new suit albeit nanotech will probably blow everyone's socks off
Somewhat, some of their CGI for better. Things like Thanos looks amazing but the CGI on people like Ironman and Spiderman are god awful. You can see a noticeable downgrade compared to some of their other apperences.
Having seen the suit in all its iterations throughout this movie series, I gotta say the effects for the first Iron Man film still impress me just that much more because there was a blend of a real practical suit with a fully CGI suit. Because of this your mind could never truly pick up where one is being used and the other is not. It also seems to me that having the practical suit used in the film challenged the digital artists to make their animated version not only match the practical suit but also meld convincingly with the live background that the practical suit was shot in (as opposed to generating a virtual set). Just my thoughts of course.
I always thought that all the suits are real...I’m impressed, good job
2008 VFX were so realistics❤️
Trending on my today's list! 'Insider' with a great informative clip I'd love. Great B-Rolls! 😲
After working in the vfx industry for years I can say with confidence that VFX artists do not get the recognition they truly deserve.
as someone who has worked in the film industry- and anyone else in the know - who knows- the key to good fx- is the lighting. and iron mans reflections and lighting seperate it from the pack. amazing.
I like the older suits, they actually look like they pack some bulk under the plates and are actually beyond military level tech that can destroy you The nanotech suits looked more filmsy and weren't as intimidating
Yeah, but I guess that was the point. The mentioned that they wanted a "liquid metal" kinda effect, but it really doesn't look good. But, I have one question...How does War Machine look so good and bulky in endgame, while still feeling lighter and more compact than before, but they mess up the character they pay more attention to? Also, for the less amount of time we see rescue, she doesn't look half bad, but god, they messed up Tony's suit.
@@muwumax3491 war Machine was still rocking the old design in infinty war and endgame(idr if he was in endgame), and rescue did look decent, but iron man didn't sit as well with me coz we are so used to the older type
@@mrigankjain4857 You are almost right. I love Don Cheadle, and unfortunately, for the very few scenes he appears in endgame in his suit, a lot of the plates with open space was closed to look like blocks protruding from the suit. This is most visible in the "What's up, regular-sized man?" scene. And, yes, I agree with you on Tony and Pepper.
