Amazing CG facial animation

[IPunchaUInTheFace]

In addition to sub-par lipsync... more muscles in the face move when someone talks... like... all of them.

[MegaSlivers]

wow

[ganaschico]

wants wrong about scrutinizing the lip sync? the part where she says" two days ago", her moth didnt move accordingly , it just moves up and down,

[Golemoid]

a touching story...

[ChristosPainas]

i saw amazing facial at first and i was like "what the....i remember googling you-tube"

[Molkifier]

Straight into the uncanny valley!

[shaunbot]

Haha! Anyone notice shes lying? look at her eyes... Very cool

[midvalley009]

its beautiful but feels kinda like an anamatronic :/

[drawmaster77]

needs better voicing and better lip sync :p

[gartrux]

i need a tutorial for this

[sAcRoSaNct17]

Impressive

[SilkRoadSpecial]

ey man what software use ? please...

[KING20007009]

I think I m in love !

[TreatyMusic]

This is uncanny valley as fuck.

[JohnnyKidder]

way down on the uncanny valley

[rollinfever15]

Her face looks to tight

[beaternator]

whats wrong with you people?!! >=0 the lip syncing is awesome, its like an actual woman in real life is being interviewed and they just animated her face....i wanna see some of you guys do better!!! >.>

[NelsonStJames]

Not to diss Avatar, but I'm not that interested in what people are doing that have millions of dollars at their disposal. Their sh$@t should look good, even if their stories are lame. I'm waiting to see some guy working with this tech that's going to do something incredible on all fronts.

[xXDemonWater098Xx]

@NelsonStJames some noob troll would reply like this: ID LEIK 2 C U DO BETAR.

[NelsonStJames]

@xXDemonWater098Xx I know right, but that's what trolls do. It boggles my mind that people are not amazed by this. We get spoiled by technology, but often forget what it took to get to where we are. And the best yet is that soon this tech will be so common place you'll have kids doing this stuff in the basement, and some of that stuff they come up with is gonna' blow peoples socks off. Heck some of the stuff on youtube can do that already!

[aniruddhahar]

90% of the guys commenting on this video with negative opinions have NO idea how old this is, who made it, and why it's one of the best facial animation demos from the early days of CG. Anyone who learnt 3D 8-9 years ago KNOWS this one and WILL recognizer it as a milestone, you retards. remember it. Look up Steven Stahlberg.

[enemay]

you guys want to see good facial animation of a CGI? watch Avatar.

[chopin999]

nice, heaps of emotion ;)

[SatanicGoomba]

Dude, the animation is jumpy in alot of places, lip syncing isn't all that great, but really great job on the modelling, texture, and picking an appropriate topic to make it seem realistic or normal.

[123hardcoretyp]

where is the "facial"?

[Reddsplinter]

Uncanny valley much...

[XxEmoLauraxX]

i fucked dios bitch wid my DICK HAMMER

[SolidSmush]

One thing that is a make it or break it moment in lip sync for me is when the corners of the mouth stick together. It's a sign in realism that people don't notice very often.

[TheMRN9]

LA Noire > This. And its not even CGI!

[TMANandMAISON991]

L.A. Noire RULEZZ

[KOSMOSandTELOS]

The beginning was easily the most realistic part. The rest was good, but sometimes she seemed a little stiff. Mostly the way she moved her head. Looked more like twitches than a casual head movement.

[richie4956]

fuck la noire.

[BrocxMalaak]

Why does this remind me of Kylie Minogue? I mean facially they look similar. This thing has more acting ability than Kristen Stewart though.

[ALPHAHXCORE]

some of the animation is very realistic, but she feels very rigid, the way she holds her head and stuff, very uncanny valleyesque

[rareisalive]

this video 0.06 is the same as watch?v=lDUOmY80GhU at 0.12

[XanderCallahan]

after L.A. Noire that looks bad.

[Kjubie100]

Do you do this professional? I think you can easily get a job at pixar!

[sonickills]

OMFG WATCH THIS BAEKD ITS CRAZY

[TheCheesyShorts]

the eyebrows look terrible even on a real person

[dreamca4er]

mmm, the greatest uncanny valley effect I've in a long time, grats

[Life28SK]

looks like L.A. Noire

[basacht8]

with facial i thought about...i really need a girlfriend i guesse.

[ganaschico]

needs better lip sync

[buraukkaforesee]

@ganaschico noo it's very good

[svele88]

@ganaschico

can you do even the modelling? if you can, you earn the right for complaining about lip sync NOOB

[ganaschico]

@svele88 that's like saying, why should simon cowell be a judge on american idol? he doesn't even sing! or why be a movie critique if you can't even create a movie??

i only say this because it think it needs improvement

[shairaptor]

ugly !

[KimoonTsong]

animation is weak, its to stiff not convincing that what the high ups will tell you... but the acting is almost there.

[Jessicanana89]

I think what is "off" about animations like this is an issue that is as simple as using unrealistic human models. She looks like a cartoon still, even though the movements are life like. It's like she NEEDS human flaws, marks and textures and asymmetry for it to be believable. Just look at the faces in the "Related videos" section, and the difference is clear.

[grogeriome]

q graficos!

[nerfbattothefacelol]

OH GOD WHAT?!?!?!?!!!!?!?!?

[TheHuesaturation]

@joocrlstba, vc já ouviu falar da teoria da uncanny valley? A partir de um certo nível elevado de realismo 3D, cria-se repulsa por parte do expectador. É como se víssemos um cadáver. Mas certamente é um grande trabalho de modelagem.

[TheHuesaturation]

PARECE UM CADÁVER

[allluckyseven]

This is quite old. It's a keyframed animation from Steven Ståhlberg.

[CpsLock3]

Something still seems a little ..........Off

[PrinceOF9Imagination]

Whenever I read CGI I remember my beloved FF games cuz they have the best CGI ever :)

[arva58]

excellent i dont have words i wish if i will be able to do something like that 

[3DOnur]

ohaaa veryy sweet

[RWtubb]

and thus megan fox's face was born

[MarcelZager]

L.A. Noire looks better

[YouLikeBosch]

Looks like 2001 tech.

[justtobyproductions]

really nice, a little out of sync tho

[Cooprocks123e]

her face is too angular and too smooth

[10taclearts]

a clear case of uncanny valley

[tlast2O12dude]

looks like a crazy person full of botox in her face.

[Mrcrazy80]

Make porn.

[MFAtlas]

Uncanny valley!

[violinmerchant]

@MFAtlas I thought it looked familiar!

[rahkriga]

Very good, but if the animation could be more relaxed it would be better. all in in all great work though..KEEP IT UP!!!

[TheLukaszencja]

this is nothing, check our L.A Noire face animations, they are edge cutting!

[joshwashposh]

it's no na'vi

[Verynicepro]

look great except for everything that’s wrong with it.

[betastate]

@Verynicepro +1 , the model is brilliant , but the texturing is nothing out of the ordinary and the animation is a bit shit... Better than what I am currently able of producing , but still not impressive....

[Verynicepro]

@betastate well keep up the good work the model looks like it is off anatomically a tiny bit but I can't see the full 360 view so I can not be sure. the face flex if off but is you said your working on the animations. but it likes like something you chould stick in a portfolio so good luck and build your portfolio.

[betastate]

@Verynicepro That's not my work mate , the guy who posted this has a similiar nickname :) I just started doing morph targets for my face expressions and am a few months away from making my first complete and rigged model(given I have other stuff to do for my course). That can't stop me froim being a bitch about other peoples work though :P

[Canal3dfull]

:O awesome

[GreenEyeDesignz]

fantastic!

[FatadeiFiori91]

the best !

[larke24]

This is Steven Stahlberg's work from some time ago.

[duleziv]

This was done by hand if I remember correctly, which is what makes it amazing... no motion capture was involved.

[lime705]

приятный голос, приятная внешность!

[AllSentientFreeman]

Mass Effect characters look more convincing,this bitch is up to something..

[OneSaile]

i think she is hot...am i a pervert? =)

[purejshots1]

@OneSaile no.

[pufixas]

@OneSaile

yes

[BeBeAyumiReturns]

too fake....

[GaroCARP]

great rigg!! awesome dudee!

[MrYogsothot]

heheh i knew it is Steven's work.

[RobAngol]

you realize this was one of the first cg humans to have been animated like way back in 1996... look up Steven Sthalberg.

[element5333]

i wish there was a girl that actually looked like this. sigh.

[Decnet01]

extremly good work.. but.. The zero alignment for the eyebrows,lips etc is set to hard.. Its almost as it disgards the emotion and/or movement becouse it wants to get back to "base".

[legolasgrof]

Excelent work! I think the cheeks need to be affected a little more by the movement of the mouth. I think it will give the face more character and emotion.

[creapah]

Wow... why dont these cgi nerds get together and make movies?

[enohack]

not bad

[Elzandor]

what program did you use?

[utkrocks26]

1 no.

[brudleyx]

Tell Suzanne to move out then.

[TimedropStudios]

not bad, the arc's could be smothed a bit and there should be a bit more general skin movement all around but pretty good

[mosj9876]

this really cool and amazing. was this mocapped? and what is hand keyed?

[Cryptic696]

Stop comparing to la noire, If i'm correct this is hand keyed and la noire was all motion capture.

[ChrisXPZ]

LA Noir did it better and that was realtime... on an Xbox 360... in HD :\

[cannoir]

those brondes and blue eyed eurasians are creepy as hell. Just Yuck. I thought this sheit woulda been dead a long time ago. circa 2003 SMH!

[SteamGrace]

Better than the Bioware Face.

[F1zzyHD]

Meh it's really cool but not too amazing

[Noyonboldoo]

this is not amazing. Not even better than LA Noire

[wayneakrid]

the question and answer givin does not seem like it should b with the vid, sounds like an affair

[oxking0815]

Welcome to the uncanny Valley!

[xXxAhmedTarekxXx]

Looks like a Disney Movie, Like The incredibles !

[Atvishees]

... scary.

Ever played LA Noire before?

[emotechschool]

it looks like just interview 3.. where can i find the whole interview?

[emotechschool]

i can feel the emotion, awesome..

[Mistergonzalom]

Megan Fox?

[xenophobe76]

nice DSLs

[nisetsu]

Looks more Pixar than human, humans don't move like that.

[ianajax]

@nisetsu

Well yes human actually move like that. If it's hand-keyed it's amazing.

But the STYLE of the model is stylished like in som Disney or Pixar movies. Maybe that's what you mean?

[SpontaneousPudding]

@nisetsu

Yes they do, you just don't see enough people to notice

because your a shut-in.

[wRisingphoenixw]

@nisetsu Pixar characters aren't animated that way either.

[nobs8]

Nice job.



[UtubeH8tr]

i can truly feel the humanity in her expression...

[iiAronii]

most realistic facial mouth animation on youtube! youre awesome at this
