Amazing lifelike animation

Randomly stumbled across this,

An animation company has finally managed to create a computer-generated human that most watchers can't distinguish from a real person. Forget the clunky CG characters in most animated movies today — in a few years, you could be watching animated films that are almost indistinguishable from "live-action" ones. Click through to watch a slightly disturbing video.

Wow?


I mean, to think that's not a real person is almost scary O_O

i'd hit it

Really good eye motion, the sudden eye movements make it look so real, also the uneven eyelid opening at 0:42 make it even more real, also the double blinking at 0:19 is good, some of the head motions seems a bit unnatural tho.

its pretty nice except that its as if her eyes dont match directions

its good but the mouth and eyes seem a little off

Mouth seems more off than the head and there's little something to do with the head movement imo. But it's still really good .P

Gotta remember that its youtube video quality though. That shit would make unreal 2 look real

still mad sick though, they must have put sooo much work into all the movements its insane

I hope I'm not the only one who instantly thought about future porn.

You aren't thats exactly where I went too. They can now make anything they want without having to hassle about what people will and won't do + celebrity pornography scandals will be hilarious. Imagine trying to say you weren't in a sex tape when it looks like you but its just animated bwhahaha. I wonder if it will eventually become so good that video evidence becomes void of any proof because it can be digitally fabricated. Although it would probably be relatively easy with the right tools to see obvious evidence that the video was a digital fabrication, the same way they pick up on photos that have been worked on.

<---waiting for porn industry ripple effect

interesting but this fake chick seems mildly retarded

+ she moves her mouf like she has braces but she aint got braces da fuck is dat

she has enourmous teeth.

wow that's pretty amazing

i think the corners of the mouth look a little animated but i would be fooled if i didn't already know she was animated

I already hit it
