Animated Short - This Wonderful Life
dfluke2 writes "It's been around for awhile, but Lian Kemp's This Wonderful Life is a very impressive animated short. Over at rendernode there is an interview with Lian, where additional background information can be found about the flick, including other plans for more animated movies. The author also features a gallery with photo shoot style images of the female actress from the short."
Now everyone on slashdot can have a girlfriend!

Putting the word "female" into a Slashdot post is like pointing a loaded gun at this poor guy's server and pulling the trigger.
You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
You'd think with all the time they spend putting little tiny hairs all over her body, they would have found some time to give her some "down there".
Or am I the only one seeing "virtual camel toe"?

I don't know about you, but I'm plenty excited seeing the pictures.

Kuni: Ahhh, a red snapper! Mmmmm, very tasty! Okay, Weaver, you can either hold onto you red snapper... or you can go for what's in the box that Hiro-San is bringing down the aisle right now!
[Hiro-San emerges, carrying a table with a box]
Kuni: What's it going to be, Weaver?
Phyllis Weaver: I'll take the box! The box!
[Applause]
Kuni: You took the box! Let's see what in the box!
[box is opened]
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!! Stupid!! You're so stupid!!!

Hey! shut the door damnit!
That's right, he creates a virtual one. This guy REALLY needs to get laid.
5) Hair - too perfect.
6) Skin on chest
Dude! I read that as "Hair on chest".
Read slashdot while drowsy, be creeped out.
Seriously, though, tiny see-through hairs are natural, but not thick hair. If you're a seriously underweight girl, you risk getting more body hair growth to compensate for the loss of body heat.
Irene KHAAAAAAN!
I already have two girlfriends already.
A conversation about "looking too perfect" and you pick Tommy Lee Jones?!
but what do i know, i'm just a model.
Oh good, now I'll be able to pick out all those androids that are running around!

It is a little similar to what I call Stump the Baby. Babies shown a box where two cars go in and two come out will loose interest quick. Show them two going in and only one coming out- or the opposite- and they'll stare at it for much longer...
Actually, most babies will just pick up the box and use it as a hat.

Yup, those are definitely fake.

"BATMAN FOREVER" (1995)
Jim Carrey hams it up as the Riddler, and Tommy Lee Jones plays "Two-Face," a villain with one half of his face horribly disfigured. The other half is purple.
Your reference to uncanny valley combined with his "photoshoot gallery" totally suggests what this guy should be doing: making porn. Sure, it's cheaper to get a DV cam and some chicks who wanna make a few bucks together than it is to make a CGI short but uncanny valley suggests to us that the experience of watching porn vs the experience of watching rendered porn would be two very different things. Different reaction == different market, and as there's no-one in the business of making rendered porn (at least that I know of) that's a market that this guy could own. Of course, that assumes there someone out there who wants to watch rendered porn, but I think it's a given that the range of human perversen is infinite.
How we know is more important than what we know.
I liked this better the first time I saw it and it was called "The Sims 3".
Isn't their a statute of limitations on spoilers? For instance, if I were to say "ROSEBUD IS A SLED", ;)
surely you couldn't hold that against me at this late date.

Since most animators need to act out their parts to figure out how to capture the motion best, and any uber-obsessed render geek just ain't gonna get laid enough to make the motions look realistic. And if you're going to do mocap, then, you might as well just film the mocap and skip the rendering, eh?
Data is dead you insensitive clod !
I am not dead. I may not have posted much recently, but I am very much alive.
Urge to post... fading... fading... RISING!... fading... fading... gone.
