The consensus for when the technological singularity will happen seems to be between 2035 and 2050.

For me the stunning part is the eyes, they look like a real human's eyes, down to the unevenness between the two.

With games now have very realistic graphics, I feel like any big game companies could make a super-realistic image like this if they can find a way to make profit from it. Or any cgi animation company for that matter. For being self-taught independent creators though, it's a very impressive work.

Girls will eventually turn their drawers of adam & eve dildos into realistic organic human males.

So they've finally climbed out of the uncanny valley when it comes to cg images.

Now, climb out of there for 3DCG animation...


Yeah, that was one of my thoughts: She definitely looks lifelife, but can she move lifelike? That's something even motion capture can't do quite so well, as evidenced by how everyone moves in The Polar Express.



This is already achievable thanks to performance capture. See James Cameron's AVATAR.

It's a combination of good modeling/3D scanning, good mo-cap tech, and also of major importance - good facial/muscular rigging, the last of which is the usual culprit and requires major work and technical knowledge.

Also the actress should behave and act normally and not be a person trying to be an animated character.

Huh, I had the impression that motion capture was the basis for Avatar and that all of the movements were cleaned up and modified later on. But yeah, you're right. The Jungle Book (the 2016 one) also has pretty convincing animals.

Problem is that all of this convincing photorealism has only been found in Hollywood. Nothing else really has the budget for it.

Here's the thing, the only benefit of formal teaching in my opinion is the fact that you get a piece of paper acknowledging your skill which many companies will want to see. Degrees will show that you completed a structured course that not only teaches skills but puts you in environments that prepare you for the workplace. The thing about art though is that online portfolios speak just as well and things like learning to work in the industry can also come with experience. I'm starting my second year of games design soon so I'll see if my formal education is really worth anything since it revolves heavily around 3D and I'm a 2D artist.
