This really blew me away.
Lifelike animation heralds new era for computer games
She is considered to be one of the first animations to have overleapt a long-standing barrier known as 'uncanny valley' - which refers to the perception that animation looks less realistic as it approaches human likeness.

Potential Huge Step Forward in Realistic Animation
Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

That is really something!!
By the way, why has virtual reality disappeared from gaming? It was such a big deal, and the future of gaming!!I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.

There are subtle things that I noticed that, were I not looking for them, would have just seemed odd, but I likely wouldn't have paid much attention. Particularly with her laugh. She moved wrong during the laugh. It's amazing though how far we've come. 5 years and you won't even be able to tell the difference.
If violence is not your last resort, you have failed to resort to enough of it.

Prodri and I said the mouth and overbite. If I didn't know that the girl wasn't real, I would think that she had a moderate overbite or was wearing braces.

I want to see more of this... everyone I have shown this video to generally has the same... "HOLY CRAP" moment.
Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

After all those posts on porn, I wasn't about to click on anyone's links, but I thought "Oh, it's Pae, it should be safe". I'm glad I did. I had a "WOW!" moment. The illusion of the target being in front of the screen is so realistic that I couldn't shake it until he zoomed in and the target got clipped by the edge of the screen.Originally posted by Pae

I got into ray-tracing in the 1990s. At the time, home computing power was such that when you did a single frame of moderate-resolution ray-trace, you could watch it rendering row by row; complex images and high resolution meant that a single frame was worth going and making a cuppa during. We've had ten or twelve Moore's since then. Are we at the point where it's possible to get something like the above demonstration with full ray-traced imaging? Could you move around in a photo-realistic scene?The man who gets angry at the right things and with the right people, and in the right way and at the right time and for the right length of time, is commended. - Aristotle (but not the Aristotle you're thinking of)
