Awesome, but it's still only "scanned" geometry.. !

It's not like it's the geometry that's the hard part, thoughHunter wrote:Awesome, but it's still only "scanned" geometry.. !
. We've had pretty good face-modelling for a few years now, after all.It's the lighting/texturing and the animation. Admittedly the latter is helped a lot if they're mo-capping real people, but even then it's interesting to see it applied to a set of rigged 'muscles', and it'd bode well for the future if they can make it dynamic rather than recorded.
Not sure if its more or less impressive that they're superimposing the face onto film of the actress, though. I didn't actually realise that at first - I thought the cutaway bit at the end was showing off specmaps etc.

Not bad. But something is obviously wrong with the way they're making her mouth work.

It's good, but I can't pick it apart, due to the horrid limitations of YouTube quality

Agree about the mouth. Considering the muscle set-up in that part of the face, it's not surprising.
I'm trying to decide if things like Shrek had a more realistic approximation, or whether I was simply prepared to forgive more because it was a great film...

A nice try, but I'll only be slightly impressed when they do something like that from scratch. And I'll only be truly impressed when I can't tell that it's a fake within the first five seconds.

The eyes are about the best attempt I've seen, I'll give them that. Above the nose, it's pretty hard to tell.

She looks like she has a lazy eye or something...

Pretty cool, I think.

Whenever I think of facial animations I can't help but think of Jester from Crysis. That opening scene might have been the joint funniest and scariest moment of my life so far.

The opening scene of Crysis glitched for me, once. It didn't load character textures at all. By the way, it doesn't count eyeballs as a texture.

I did not think anyone would be foolish enough to chance their arm with a joke like that. Assuming that is what it is.BloodEagle wrote:The opening scene of Crysis glitched for me, once. It didn't load character textures at all. By the way, it doesn't count eyeballs as a texture.
