She's not real?!!?

[Dinner]

I like it but they still have a problem with facial expressions and the eyes in a few frames. It also looks fake when she's holding the baby; its like they didn't know what to do with ehr left hand so they just sort of super imposed it around the baby. Where her hand and the baby touch just doesn't seem to be right.

I like the texture they added to the super close in shots but the medium close shots still like kind of shiny. All in all it's a first rate job but still noticably CGI.

It is the way the light reflects off the skin that makes it look plastic. Also, the clothes don't lie right on the body. Impressive though. Maybe this will allow for better movies. Right now a lot of actors and actresses get parts for how they look and not how they act. By combining CGI looks with good acting for voice...... Well, one can only hope.

[Dinner]

Good point.

I'd like to see how naturally they can animate it. I've seen so wonderful CGI still lifes that turn into very boxy and stiff animation.

[pchang]

Well Animation requires an order of magnitude more processing power than still lifes. (at least 30 still lifes per second - though 50 is much better)

[Dinner]

Ahh, I found the movie clips on the web site. "Test 3" is very life like and believable right up until she smiles and you see an obviously CGI set of teeth and "movie sample 1" is first rate with no obvious give aways (though the hair near her face is blowing way more then the rest of her hair). "Movie sample 2" is the worst with jerky animation, poor facial expressions, and her hand ill proportioned. I mean it was way to big for her face.

Her eyes. They're.....weird and empty.

Nope, that's not it. It's even more obvious than that.

[Japher]

she's on my computer and not in RL?

[chequita guevara]

No. Just look at the picture for a bit, it should come to you.

Let's see who spots it.

Two sources of sunlight?

[chequita guevara]

We have a winnah!

(I didn't even look at the pictures )

It's the lighting in general, but we'll take your answer. Two other points to note with the lighting is that she's standing in the shadow of the hill, so she shouldn't be lit up like that. Two, the sun is on her right, but the majority of the light on her is on her front left.

[BlackCat]

I hate to disagree (well, maybe not ), but that light could have been obtained in other ways. The real problem is the hair - no way that it's for real.

The smile and the eyes are also a little creepy - nonhuman, but then it's a woman (ouch - i'm already ducking my head).

Nikolai stated that the eyes was weird, yes, but they are not empty - i'we seen worse in real life.

Her teeth make her look inhuman -- like she's about to bite your arm off or something.
