Image Metrics animation

[Dr Mordrid]

Demo....

The demo comes from a company called Image Metrics, a Hollywood f/x company that has done animation and special effects for some of the Harry Potter films and popular video games like Grand Theft Auto.

The possibilities of this new animation technique are amazing. For starters, animated characters could replace TV commercial actors, news anchors or -gasp- politicians.

In movies actors and actresses could have avatars of themselves used instead of body doubles or stunt persons. Think of the ultimate possibilities; long dead actors could, technically, be resurrected via animation.

Then there's porn....

Ugh! Uncanny valley, here we come!

And... who mentioned porn? I don't want to see porn when the women always look constipated/angry/pained. I mean, SOME guys might get off on that...

And just how long has it been since you've seen a woman have an intense orgasm?

1. That doesn't ACTUALLY happen in porn.
2. She doesn't make that face ALL THE TIME.

Let's face it, that animation was SCARY. The animated version of the perfectly attractive woman just looked ... pissed off, hurt, and perhaps constipated.
