Insanely Realistic Creepy Computer Faces Are Here...

[@imomar5151]

In my opinion, they do look realistic but the physics and movement will make it look unrealistic.

@Hi Tony Maybe the movements are too slow ? I really can't tell what's wrong but I know something ain't right, but it's close. (The clip at 5:00 looked clean to me). But still know it's cgi

[@Poemwriter_Angelo]

graphics will know its limits too. i mean. if something looks real. it looks real. and things can't be more real than that. so there is no way to improve graphics. so i don't think they will ever laugh at that kind of graphics. because its just about not close enough to reality.

[@zecle]

Less graphics, more physics. I just want xbox 360 graphics with realistic physics and interactions. Smoother animations. I want real clothes on naked bodies. I want muscles squeezing under a deforming skin. I want hair. I want water flowing. I don't want photorealism. I want realism. I would trade gamecube/xbox textures with anything that behaves like a prerendered animated movie.

[@joelleyoutube4412]

[@Kellerkind80]

The interaction of the muscles are not on point. Like there is an unatural time lag.

[@Vysair]

Because of the physics and animation, the way their face move is unnatural, their animation of her hair is too hard (hard to define this one) but their texture is incredibly realistic. You just think it is fake because you know the fact that it is fake.

[@eytanmanor]

They don't capture the tongue and it looks a bit odd when they speak. It's a small detail but noticeable

[@wrathblack4950]

Eytan Manor You definitely got that right.

[@TheNajSD]

Their eyes are too bright and it's missing the subtle shadows within them. Also, I feel as if the gap between the teeth and lips is too far. Lips nearly touch the teeth and in some clips it looks like i could shove a pencil between them at any point. Skip to 3:13 for example.

[@theblackhole05]

That must be what it is. It's something about their mouths that throw me off

[@chypres89]

Looks good until they open their mouth and start talking. then it looks just weird.

[@tadeo517]

It looks too "smooth"

[@ilokikoval]

As beautiful as the graphics look, there's still that CGI "shine" to them that still makes it look fake. Like, sometimes the hair is too "perfect" or almost motionless (take the Far Cry 5 of the lady talking in a bar for example), the skin is too shiny or skin indentations a too noticable. There's still a way to go, but still stunning nonetheless.

[@Megalomaniakaal]

[@boombaby1769]

Most of the time, the designers don't get the eyes right, this destroys the illusion. One mistake they like to make is putting too much tear fluid in them, like we can see here. And the movement of eyes is almost never respected; eyes don't swing smoothly from left to right or stop moving to rest on a certain object, they are constantly moving around and focusing on new focus points. It's not that is wouldn't be technically possible to do this, I guess the creators are either lazy or they havn't done enough research on how the eyes' muscles work. All the rest is pretty impressive, though.

It’s definitely the eyes, hair, lack of texture, teeth and mouth movement that differentiate these from real people for me. The eyes and mouth movement get me the most, they eyes are just too shiny and reflective, the red inner part (I can’t remember what it’s called) sometimes look weird and movements from the mouth doesn’t quite reach the eyes and looks stiff and out of place with the audio. The high resolution weirds me out too.

[@BlinkingCursor]

Its very close indeed but the skin always ends up looking too smooth or rubbery

[@zecle]

There is no such thing as skin. They are articulated silicone dolls. Only prerendered animated movies have "skin"... And muscles and bones underneath. Real 3d bones, not the animation tools. Something inexistant in real time video game graphics.

[@gurjotsinghkalsi8622]

Bad textures with good lighting effects

[@PurestJoy]

The skin immediately alerts me that it's ”fake”. It's too. . . flawless? Yeah. As well as shiny and all that. Your eyes sees that at the strands of hair are, like, faded. The hair, it's too blurred. But other than that, it’s the most realistic I've seen. Especially the one at the Vicon booth.

AI normally has to be dumbed down because (unless you’re playing online) every single thing that they do is being processed on the user’s CPU. It might not be that bad in concept, but when you have 10-15 of them running around and acting independantly it really adds up.

[@bliglum]

Oh, great.. Another "graphics don't matter" person.. Yeah, gameplay is what matters most, but don't forget what they are called after all.. VIDEO games. Presentation is a BIG part of it.. Big enough that 99.9 percent of gamers have stepped up from their Atari 2600's into the bold new world of better graphics... And it's not just eye candy, superior graphics do very much add to the gameplay.. My favorite genre for example, PC racing and flying sims, would have been impossible without advanced 3d polygonal graphics.. And the further advancement in texture rendering and post processing effects bring greater realism, thus greater immersion.

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

*+KidAteMe1* _what. This isn't even the point of the video. Why even bring up gameplay?_ Because good gameplay and good graphics are what makes a good game. We've already had many good games _without_ photo-realistic graphics, hadn't we? *+bliglum* _Oh, great.. Another "graphics don't matter" person.. Yeah, gameplay is what matters most (...)_ Then why do you argue with me? Good gameplay and good story can make up for average graphics, but photo-realistic graphics can't make up for bad gameplay and laughable story. In your racing sims, are you really going to pay attention to all the "advanced 3d polygonal graphics" and superior textures in the middle of the race, with cars zipping around you at high speed? In the middle of the action, you tune out extraneous details and focus only on important stuff. Did you know that the newest Far Cry and GTA actually have simplified gameplay, compared to their predecessors? For example, cars in Far Cry 2 leave behind a trail of crushed grass, (as they should), but cars in Far Cry 5 don't. Concrete barriers in Far Cry 2 can be damaged, but those in Far Cry 5 are indestructible. Dead bodies realistically are thrown around by explosions in Far Cry 2, but in Far Cry 5 they simply disappear. There goes your immersion, sacrificed on an altar of advanced graphics...

[@fidonol]

If it wasn't in 60fps it would be WAY more realistic. Try switching to 480p, it's a lot better. Why? Because 60fps reveals the imperfections of the movements. And for the textures, 3D models, I think the key to achieving more realism is focusing on IMPERFECTIONS rather than perfection, because... perfection doesn't exist. If you look yourself in the mirror or take a picture you'll notice A LOT of imperfections, uneven jaw, tiny wrinkles, red-black spots, tiny little hairs, grease, etc... All those minor imperfections really count.

I don't think it's the eyes that are unrealistic. We are really good at making eyes both physically and digitally. I think it has to do with how well captured and smooth everything in the scenes are. We need better compositing technology.

[@Nagalior]

- gravity/physic are big giveaways when character moves, the improvement is great but we can still see how "plastic" they are - human eyes and certain facial muscles do involuntary movement at random which are not present - cloth...the damn complex cloth

[@TheHylden]

Another issue is the fake ambient occlusion feel, like a shadow aura the eyes sit in between the lids and the mouth has in it. Looks like the teeth are floating in some slightly dark liquid, or someone keyframed a shadow in there. It just isn't right yet. But it's amazing technology and far better than ever before. Especially the Far Cry trailers.

[@TheBurleybrawler]

We just need the power to do real time ray tracing for entire scenes now. That should get us past the uncanny valley. I'd say 10 years for high end home PC's.

[@TheBurleybrawler]

My prediction was based around last year's GDX1 server ($55k at the moment and already replaced by GDX2) being able to do real time ray tracing demo's today. Though the Star War's Unreal demo made on this server has no faces and low frame rate in it admittedly. I don't expect it to be in all the latest games by 2028 just real time demo's like the video above. Seeing as the the GDX1 server is better than 4 current Titan GPU's. I was thinking of a high end PC being measured as using the 2 best cards released in 2028. Say 2 x whatever the Titan is called by then. As for compute power progress I'm assuming a curve similar to the last 10 years as well. Where 2027 to 2028 should jump more than most of the first few years combined. Example cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/NVIDIA-Pascal-and-Volta-Compute-Performance.jpg I'm also assuming some of the movie industry ideas will filter down from Blender, Maya to Unreal's rendering (and more) e.g photo.qip.ru/photo/geopard/4007269/xlarge/95833997.jpg I may be fussier by 2028 but here's to hoping anyway.

The parts that look realistic are captured directly from reality. The parts that don't aren't, put simply. It's like if you gave me a paper mache model and I pasted a real photo of a person's face on it, that part's going to look very real. The rest, not so much. :-D That's an exaggerated example but I think many miss that we're "capturing" reality at the moment in the most photorealistic CG characters. We're not "simulating" it, we're "capturing" it, and capturing has far more limitations than simulating (ex: we can't make these characters say something new without getting the actress back into the studio to capture her facial motions and voice). That's not a "CG character" in the truest sense, that's a "capture from real life".

Armour King i thinks thats because it almost looks realistic but at the same time you feel that its not %100 realistic. That causes confision and makes it look creepy (in my opinion).Also it would look a lot more realistic if the video was black white. the colors are never perfect imo

[@TheDrasgon]

That's what is called "Uncanny Valley" :D

[@mjt1517]

100%* The percent sign goes AFTER the number.

[@bulut6759]

yeah, in my native language its before, so thinking in native language and writing in english causes that type of issues lel

[@IonKattTMCE]

I guess VR is gonna go quite far

[@felixsvan2982]

The movements of the fingers, hands, facial expressions etc is too smooth, if you would compare it to your movements... they should improve on that for now instead. It’s much more important

[@deividasjanuskevicius9268]

Movies without CGI is a dying breed. Appreciate them while you can!

[@peperle]

This is very impressive! For me, what gives it away is that the movements are too smooth. Here, the eyes move in a uniform way, all the movement seem calculated, a little too graceful. With the two hands, when the fingers touch, they don’t REALLY seem to touch. In reality, eye movements are fast, they go from one side to another in rapid bursts. We have little twitches, our actions aren’t perfect and smooth

You know what's up!

[@xamurai00]

Is it realistic if its just mapped on by computer from a real life model ?

[@user-be8ep2zd6r]

xamurai00 machine learning will generate natural facial animation soon enough. Don't worry.

[@clray123]

Exactly, it's all just capture/playback at increasing resolution. Yawn.

[@Linkz64]

xamurai00 You say that as if it’s the easiest thing in the world...

[@Carfilliot]

I just don’t see the point, may as well just use FMV like the old games of the 90’s...?!!

[@digitalnomad9985]

We're already starting to see FOIP (Face Over Internet Protocol) which will soon be integrated into games, so that your character in a multiplayer game echoes your lip movements and facial expressions in real time. Also, all this mocap generates a lot of data which could be used to facilitate a machine learning generated NPC ability.

[@psalm23sheep53]

There's so many people criticizing this amazing work, its ridiculous.

[@robbiecameron2339]

Mike, from 3.00 - 3.32 was the best CGI out of the lot.

[@PrinceJes]

It would convince me from being far off but it's still not real. It looks like they're made out of plastic or some sort of matte clay. I believe that real life will never be recreated; bold statement yes, but it's also bold to say that video simulations will be indistinguishable from reality.

[@PrinceJes]

@@gustofing Go right on ahead.

[@David-un4cs]

For humans who knows, but CGI technology for photorealistic landscapes, objects, and buildings are already there.

[@PrinceJes]

@@David-un4cs Sure.

[@depopa1033]

they look creepy not realistic.

[@Domestofobia]

One of my friends told me about a study which revealed data about how people feel after seeing artificial faces. They visualized the data on the x y axis and it was almost linear, but there was a huge fall just before the real face. Small, but not obvious imperfections made people feel creeped out in general. Recommend checking it out

I still don't understand what is with the crew 2 trailer is that also cinematic because that looks so real!

[@alabasterindigo]

I love how Circus was was trying his very best to accentuate his facial expressions.

[@dreamingblue3939]

I think it looks great and I'm honestly glad it's obvious that it was made on a computer and isn't real. If graphics ever get so realistic it becomes hard to distinguish from reality.. sounds scary to me.

[@danteness5191]

i don't care about all that, we wanna see real gameplay someday with that graphics then i will care definitely, for me now !!! i just watched an empty video🤠

[@joshuacalkins]

DmC_Alexander 666 I’m reminded of the difference between Final Fantasy game and cutscene footage over the years. The amazing FFX cgi was shocking, and the game engine had many limitations and tricks to consider when trying to even look consistent. The effect can be so jarring that I greatly preferred the N64 limitation of in-engine cutscenes in a game like Starfox, to the crisp cd graphics of PS1 that gave way to muddy graphics and foggy worlds. It’s getting better all the time though, so the gap should be narrowing.

[@timonsolus]

And that’s why Knights of the Old Republic (2004) is still one of the best games around 14 years later. Still play it on my iPad today.

[@budiisnadi]

It's time for the movie S1M0ne to be remade.

[@Silk-hj5jm]

I think the teeth and mouth movement needs work. For me it's the first thing that gives it away.

[@oari1150]

teeth movements? wut

[@thatonepanch]

the first demo looks the realist. their shading was on point. and the virtual mike was quite impressive. i bet 10 years later this wont look anywhere near as good

[@bananasandbass]

The graphics level of lighting and detail is there. But the movement/animation of eyes and mouth is soooo crucial. Humans are so good at recognising other humans speak, reading their face and their body language. I can still very clearly tell it's CG when the images are moving. If you freeze-frame some of these shots, you could fool people. Though give it some more years and it will be indistinguishable. Corridor Crew did a video on why the Star Wars faces of Lea and Tarkin were still in the uncanny valley and what would make them convincing looking/moving.

[@Chaoticlimbs]

Stepped up to the hip in the Uncanny Valley.

[@alkeryn1700]

Well it is gorgeous but you can clearly see that it isn't real ^

[@ms2k7Gaming]

That is creepy imagine in like 40 years

[@christhelostsoul9927]

Everything technologically Advanced is "creepy" to you

[@calliph]

Minus all the gripes people have posted, in my lifetime I've gone from watching Mario on the Nintendo and the Atari games to this. It's mindblowing. Ten more years and it'll be indistinguishable from real life.

[@MegaBlueVein]

Love it, as long as insanely realistic Nagging AI can be switched off in game play options.

[@mxfussodd9856]

What if it literally was just a clip and we were all lied to?

[@tamimkhan9093]

2040 you will laugh when you see this graphic 😂

[@a-mellowtea]

It's not just knowing beforehand that it's not real. They haven't quite nailed the physics or the movement, but there's something about all of it - even the most realistic-looking - that's just too clean, too polished. Still, it's absolutely astounding that they've gotten so close to mimicking human appearance and motion.

[@cultofape1000]

The holy grail of realistic looking CG people is getting the talking mouth right. That´s where I always spot it first. There are other tells, that you can get away with if you only see the character in short cuts, but that one seems to be the most difficult one to solve.

[@aleisterseverusgrey3778]

[@-JamesChristopherI]

Run this in 30fps and they will look realistic 🤔

[@Hellseeker1]

They are getting past the uncanny valley

[@nathanahubbard1975]

Not at all. They are right in the uncanny valley. It almost looks real, but the movement is very odd so it doesn't look right.

[@mjt1517]

Nope. Still a long ways off. These weren't realistic at all. Very cartoony and the subtle movements are unnatural. 10 points for the chick in the bar, though. That was a well done cinematic.

[@AnthonyBrusca]

I agree, they are still in it but not in the bottom anymore

[@SlideWreckDan]

I feel like the tech is still at the uncanny valley. Maybe about to exit the valley, but at the edge of it. Can't wait to see all the integrations for it.

[@abesapien9930]

It seems we all agree the dead give-away is when the characters start talking or moving. Real human movement is imperfect, quick, and tense...as soon as we see perfectly smooth mouth movement, or an arm that hangs in the air for an extra second, we know something's off.

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

It still looks plastic😂😂
