This is the best attempt at making a virtual real-looking human being I've ever seen. Thoughts?

Certainly the best I've seen, but there is still something about it that seems a little off.

EDIT: Looking at it again, it was good but I would have to agree with Deraldin.

I thought it was an interview at first. O.O

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Fairly impressive.

yes! now there is hope of actually getting the

pretty bloody impressive

 

something did seem slightly off about her mouth though

when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

I was impressed until I read that everything else was real accept the face, which was superimposed (which it looked like it was)

The face doesnt look anymore real than anything else thats been done with facial mocap the past few years. And they should have pointed out that its the face, and nothing but the face that is CG, everything else is film.

And another thing; its been real quiet about that AMD Cinema 2.0 lightroom thing at SIGGRAPH 08, that a hint that they might have faked* some of their stuff aswell.

 

 

 

 

* fake as in "we neglected to tell you that this part here is a photo and that this here is pre-rended and not realtime"

I'd hit that.

Yup, I was at the ATI booth and there was nothing, I even took this pic as proof:

Nvidia booth was so much better tho, they were showing off physx and GPU ray-tracing

I'm biased lol

So only the face is CG? That's actually pretty boring.

I actually think this is the case, have read that somewhere, it's called "image based rendering". Also, see
for more on cinema 2.0 (also see the realted videos) and here for more on image metrics.

We will be.. but it won't have anything to do with the Mayan Calender.

Still creepy.

The guys at Image Metrics have taken a lot of flak over this, so one of their guys made a post about it at CGtalk http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p...mp;postcount=74

 

 

We did not write these captions. (e.g. "What you are about to see is a wholly computer-generated animation.") Our intention was exactly, as many of you have pointed out, to reveal that Emily's face was CG after the viewer has watched the whole "interview." The original, full-length version is here:
