The end of actors: hyper-real looking cgi people

[larryhead]

A taste of things to come.. video shows a cgi rendered actress that is nearly indistinguishable from a real person.

Rendering is from Image Metrics.. Some of Image Metrics clients: Capcom, Activision, 2K Games, ATI, EA Games, Epic Games, Konami, Eidos, THQ, Vivendi, Sony, and more. They've also done significant animation work for movies like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and dozens of video games, from Devil May Cry 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Unreal Tournament 3.

that's just sick.

on the upside, they can start making new tupac videos to release with his albums.

it's not really 100 percent CGI though. I mean, it's neat and all, but they still HAVE to use real actors' faces with all those white dots over them in front of a green screen or whatever it is in order to get that realistic of an effect.
