Accurate Human Rendering in Game [2019-2021]

[cheapchips]

I can't decide if that's accurate, creepy or creepily accurate.

Gameplay model/shaders, looks nice. Definitely improved over Uncharted 4/TLL

You can still see the screen-space SSS artifacts on the edges of the skin so they are definitely using something similar for subsurface scattering.

One more, gameplay again

2018. Runs on current gen hardware according to 3Lateral.

It was running on 2x 1080Tis.

It was running on 2x 1080Tis.

But in the presentation he says (3:45) "we don't need hw from the future, we can run this on current gen". Two 1080TIs is not what I would call "current gen hardware".

edit: where did you read this is running on two 1080tis

I had first hand experience with it in 2018 after GDC.

Cutscene.

[Karamazov]

just for the comparison / evolution

UC4 Drake gameplay shots only:

 

[SlmDnk]

The lighting and shading is so flat in those The Last Of Us 2 gameplay screenshots. Surprisingly unimpressive.

^ Gameplay model/shaders.

Unflattering lighting conditions would do that to anything.
I think this shot looks much better. Gameplay of course.

Tlou2 In game model

 

[Karamazov]

compared to the UC4 shots above it's easy to notice how much better the skin looks in TLOU2.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

compared to the UC4 shots above it's easy to notice how much better the skin looks in TLOU2.

The eyes also make a huge difference. The eyes in UC4 doesn't look real and hence make the face look bad however the Ellie and Abby screenshots the eyes bring the face to life compared to Nathan Drake.

 

[Xbat]

It's not only that the way Ellie touches her face and fidgets goes a long way in selling selling it.

 

[ultragpu]

In game model at ideal lighting condition really showcases the improvements. This one looks almost real.

 

[Deleted member 7537]

Hadn't seen the shots @ultragpu. Great work. Looks beautiful.

Tlou2 In game model

Is the minions also got the same model quality?

Btw what even more impressive is that not only the rendering is ridiculously awesome, but it also awesomely animates! The Animations are interactive too (uh what's the English... Blends well?) !

Other games usually dropped its animation quality a ton while in gameplay.
