AlterEgo: Impressive 3D Facial Modelling and Motion Software

A very impressive, if somewhat hilarious facial expressions and 3D rendering software demonstration. The software is apparently intended for future use in console/PC video-gaming and is quite comparable to 3D work in Hollywood, even though it is software-driven and in real time. Nice.

I was waiting for the operator to begin speaking (the true test)!

So finally, we have great-looking CG modeling that actually looks like it can speak (I'm looking at the lip/mouth animations in particular).

All the Hollywood CG films I've seen that attempt this kind realism-even-while-speaking (Polar Express, Final Fantasy, Beowulf) fail. Sure, those films look great...how could they not? But the characters in them do not look much like they're speaking.

So I'd say it's not comparable. This is better.
