  1. Better images forthcoming by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    He has posted a few images using Brazil r/s, a renderer capable of more advanced lighting/shading and skin simulation renders.
    Expect even greater renders in the future.

    However, great as the stills are, animation still falls short. This will be 'Next Big Thing' in CG characters. It's easy enough to do a monster (Godzilla) or even a humanoid monster (Gollum) as there's no way for us to tell whether they move 'wrong' or not. Humans are very well-trained on how other humans move.

    On hair... check the latest imagery from nVidia. Deep shadow buffers and the like make for some pretty sweet hair simulations.
