Just came across this site and thought the character to be quite good.

Looks like someone is going to give Guile3D a run for his money!?

Yeah I think they could easily give him a run for his money.  It makes Haptek characters look like antiques...

Nice to see someone finally using modern graphics card technology to create a higher quality character.

Dear Art! it is more and more realistic! What a nice quality of product! I so much like to know create a realistic virtual human! I remember research by freddy, with an almost real human! it is unconvincing! I admire the engineers!! Bravo! it is very captivating.

But the evolution of products go very quickly, soon perhaps that television will be programmed with human beings virtual, I remember annihilator, and a lot of scifi, new technology comes, of some scifi, the virtual perhaps will take realistic form in can of time, to see an almost human woman, Japanese archetype.

The faces look stunning indeed, almost captivating. The clothing on some of the images is still a give-away though, to bad. I wonder how they got those faces so life like, would they be purely drawn or captured from an existing person?

[Freddy]

Yes, I think for the past few years at least all the emphasis has been on the actual person rather than items such as clothing.

I think a lot of it is done by the clever use of shaders and texture maps - bump mapping etc.  Also the key factor is often lighting and the way it interacts with the subject. All very fascinating and pretty amazing really.

If only I could draw a straight line

I think that the study of the grimacing face of haptek, can evolved towards entire programming, of movements natural, rest has it, that haptek, indeed seem studied by other possibilities.
