Accurate human rendering in game [2014-2016]

[Cyan]

Pretty convincing, especially the lips

The lips are in the uncanny valley for me, too, and the extra shiny shiny surfaces on the skin don't help either.

Why not just Photoshop an actual face, and make it into a game, something similar to this? (the woman is supposed to be Kim Kardashian)

 

[Nesh]

Thats CGI?

This guy looks pretty convincing, from the latest COD trailer:

^ I'm willing to bet that this and some Kevin Spacy scenes are not realtime.

Santa Monica is preparing some awesome stuff for facial animation it seems.

Hopefully they will not only use this tech for Kratos. His stylized games does not require much for convincing acting.

Avatar like graphics inbound ? Sometimes I do wonder if the devs are trolling because they can. I'll believe it when I see it.

Order 1886 and U4 teaser are already proof enough that Sony devs are really making incredible progress by moving from oldgen to nextgen. 1st wave of exclusives was technically very nice [KZSF and Infamous], but next wave can really blow us away.

BTW, this is a good thread for posting AC Unity "character showcase" trailer:

(snip gigantic pic because B3D doesn't know how to scale images)

Hmph. Face aside, look at the gear he's wearing.. no way in hell that's realtime. Especially for a CoD game. Kevin Spacey's in-game model is only a fraction as detailed as this.

Kevin Spacey talking about filming process for for Advanced Warfare, plus short cinematic from the game.

IMO, it facial animation looks bad, puppets with dead eyes. Beyond did it way better.

 

[L. Scofield]

Yeah, the muscles around the eyes are very stiff. They should've upped the sensitivity.

Not sure what you mean by that... But he didn't move his eyes or eyebrows in that scene at all.

Why can't anyone talk about the other shots?

Pre-rendered.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Yeah, had some looooong nights with that

 

[Nesh]

You worked on that?

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Well how else would I know about the actual performances?

Yeah I've been the character modeling lead on the project.

 

[Nesh]

Great work man!

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Some of those scene are frickin' unreal! Amazing CG work. I thought your .gif was video.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Thanks guys! It was a really exhausting project and everyone pushed very hard to make it the best we could

Also, I guess you can now understand my previous post about working with scan data...

 

[Malo]

Was he good to work with? Some great work there, kudos to you and your teams.
