Accurate Human Rendering in Game [2019-2021]

Really nice clothes on those RoH characters too.

that woman and soldier looked real in some shots.

In the second 1943: RoH talk, they said the scanning and rigging was done by 3Lateral. There's obviously other companies doing good work, but they seem to deliverer every time.

Hellblade 2 has the best characters I've seen in cutscenes even exceeding Callisto Protocol. Top character and animation quality. The characters also look good during gameplay but there they don't stand out so much from other games like Callisto Protocol in terms of quality. In addition, the lighting sometimes bleeds through the clothing. That looks unrealistic. Pathtracing would help here.





Other (main) characters in cutscene, my camera placement (camera and characters can be moved in photomode in cutscene). Like in other games there are different quality tiers for characters.



Focus on silent tertiary character during cutscene

There is something very wrong with those animations and expressions. Doesn't look right.

Simultaneously cheap and high quality somehow.

 

[Tkumpathenurple]

A bit of a mixed bag and lots of uncanny valley, but the high points are astonishing.

 

[Karamazov]

it kind of reminds me of the PS1 era CGI, where sometimes the modelisations were looking great (for the time) but animations were bad.

The coat, static from the waistline up. Ew.

I don't know why, but certain parts of that reminded me of that PS3 CGI demo - Killing Day.

KojiPro, 3lateral Metahuman & Decima, incredible lifelike results.

3Lateral absolutely killing it.

Very good gameplay character lighting thanks to RTXDI and RTGI. The hair rendering pulls the visuals down a bit. The eyes are also a too wet. NPCs are often the same models and therefore many look the same.

They kind of look like animatronics. Especially the protagonist. The style they chose goes towards the uncanny valley a bit too much.

I think the protagonist in the game looks fine. I also can't understand the internet hate for her. People should play the game and form their own opinion before hating but DF was right when they said that animations of the cutscenes can look strange.
