Awesome CG pic.

[tk149]

If I hadn't known it was CG, I would have said it was a real picture of a wax figure. Something about the guy just isn't "alive".

 

[bondboy]

That's pretty amazing, but there's something that always give it away. Like someone else said... maybe it's a lack of soul.

 

[StageLeft]

Look good, but obviously CG, since (other than the guy saying it was) he looks like a wax statue.

 

[0roo0roo]

well yea, the guy looks like he's made out of that rubber hollywood makeup flesh.

It's easy to tell by looking at the eyes. There is no emotion or "soul".

I'd wager $100 that if you didn't have prior knowledge of this being a rendered image you would have no clue.

It's just so obvious it's CG. I don't see how anyone could mistake for real. There's just some unnamable quality (call it a soul if you must) to a face that can never be fully replicated in CG. Ever.

That and the beard are what give it away.

They eyes defeitaly need more work.
Also his face is to symmetrical. Almost no ones face is symetrical.

Here's a good site with lots of interesting 3D artwork:

Here's one of my favorites:

I'd have to say digital characters are the hardest thing there is to create. You can easily create a realistic spaceship, but creating a human face is way hard because everybody knows what a human face looks like and even the slightest flaws triggers the "that's fake" button in our minds.

 

[CHfan4ever]

wow...just wow...

Oh, and here's another one of my all-time favorites:

They should do Spider-Man III with Vin Diesel as Venom

 

[mobobuff]

The only thing that gives it away is the hair, and I wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't know it was CG. Pretty nuts!

A bit over a hundred years ago, didn't somebody say that man would never fly?

have you seen Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? It's realistic, not completely photo-realistic, but pretty darn good. Part of the reason the hyper-realistic stuff isn't animated too much is because a lot of 3D images have tons of postwork done to them (color correction and photoshop editing and such). 3D characters = hard; animation = hard; animating realistic 3D characters = hard++.

With that movie, it's possible to suspend disbelief enough to "believe" they are real actors. But it would be interesting to see such a movie with newer generation graphics. With, of course, better writers.......
