Accurate human rendering in game [2014-2016]

[Deleted member 86764]

The faces look incredible. I wouldn't go as far as to say realistic, more of a stylised look. They all look like they're wearing heavy completely water resistant makeup.

It's only a matter of time until Assassin's Creed Unity gets posted here and we're told how much better it is.

Edit: next technical evolution; emulating porous skin!

Well they are supposed to be androids after all

That's not funny, actually. Lots of faces in ACU have looked miles better, shading, textures, facial animation, even the general realism was much better in many cases.

These here look like puppets from Madame Tussaud or something. Even the lighting looks rough, not like PS4 at all - which is strange considering that even the Sorcerer demo had a lot of things looking much better.

Got some pictures handy from the PC version

Not sure i'd say "miles" better, there are quite a few things Detroid does better (eyes and skin detail for example). Until Dawn is still king though.

Not sure why Halo 5 is not being talked bout here..because it has some of the best character facial animations and models ever during the cutscenes,,

Locke doesn't look that good, face is a bit plasticy. I like how they made Nathan Fillion though.

I respectfully disagree...I find Locke to be more realistic it terms of skin shading

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Yeah Halo 5 is very, very good, particularly in the facial deformations and animation which are nearly flawless. It's all scanned of course but then again Detroit is supposed to be as well.

As for the ACU examples, you've managed to post the only two major characters that are not based on scans

Mike Colter (Locke) is kinda shiny in real life too.

Here are some screen captures from that video, one of them showing the triangle count of Kara:

 

[London Geezer]

I can't see the triangle count

 

[Laa-Yosh]

I'd say it's about 60K triangles.

 

[Shortbread]

I can't see the triangle count

Vertices (I think) 45K
Edg*** 87K
Fac*** 42K
Ir*** 68K
UV* 59K

The best I can do squinting... lol

Yeah Maya HUD lists the following:
Verts
Edges
Faces (polygons)
Tris (triangles)
UVs

 

[London Geezer]

So that particular model has about 60k polys. That kinda makes me think that the environment will not be as closed off or reductive as one would have expected with that nice sorcerer demo where the guy was made of a lot more polys.

Wasn't the guy in Infamous-SS made of around the same amount of geometry? Could QD be making a more open world game?

 

[Clukos]

Second Son is double, 120k according to this:

Delsin's face

Beyond Two Souls was 30k

So Detroid Kara model is 3 times the polys in comparison to the original demo and twice the polys of B:TS

 

[London Geezer]

Wow. I would have though QD would go mad, at least in character models. Not that it's all about geometry of course, but still.
