One of the early highlights of Avengers: Endgame was meeting Mark Ruffalo's Smart Hulk in the diner with Black Widow, Captain America, and the recently returned Ant-Man. This is easily our favorite version of Hulk in the MCU, but it took quite a bit of work by a talented VFX team to bring to life on the big screen, and now fans have a glimpse at a sliver of that process. A new behind the scenes video of Smart Hulk's transformation from Ruffalo's face filled with marker dots to the green powerhouse we all know shows how much work went into the character and makes you appreciate Smart Hulk even more.

We see a bit of the mouth animations taking shape and how those are put into 3D models, and then textures are added, which looks closer to what we saw onscreen. The final part of the process takes things into overdrive though, making Hulk look incredibly life-like, especially as the camera goes in close on Hulk's eyes and skin.

It's amazing how far tech has come, and you can check out the full video in the post below.
