The 'after' examples get way better around 11 minutes in.

Think of it more like experimentation rather than a full solution to a problem.

Alloy looks a lot better but the Final Fantasy and Street Fighter characters look awful IMO.

How people can prefer this smooth butter face without facial detail?

I prefer the original to be honest. I prefer the stylised look in games, it's less creepy looking.This is amazing. WOW.
Now if you posted the Starfield face morph I would have agreed. (Heh, you did)

looks like shit, smooth plastic isn't what faces look like; unless you take botox weekly.

It completely falls apart in uncharted removing all the handkeyed animations. they point out how this tech will improve the faces where the devs put in zero effort into animating because they are RPGs with tens of thousands of lines of dialogues.
Thats why starfield, mass effect, and fallout look so much better because their baseline is trash compared to other games.

Makes sense, I would absolutely welcome it for those huge ass RPG NPCs.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. The Facemorph clip has all detail scrubbed away and the expressions look extremely robotic.

Absolutely horrendous jesus christ, all detail scrubbed away, edge compositing shimmering, animation compressed (the eyebrows barely move), and her left eye is just completely unhinged from the rest of the morph, it's completely confused on where to look, the way it stays in place while the original looks to the side it just disgusting.

Only Starfield and L.A. Noire look better.The rest looks weird. This AI shit is useless. I haven't seen the video but i can imagine how it'll be.

the detail is gone, but the face still looks more realistic.
same thing happens with elana. all those ND facial animations are gone, and yet the face still looks better. im sure they will figure out a way to retain that after the AI pass.

I much prefer the uncanny valley originals over the freshly botoxed Instagram plastic doll filter AI versions.
They just look out of place and somehow more fake than the originals because every bit of facial detail is gone.

No thanks. I prefer the natural skin textures, wrinkles, and subsurface scattering.

Still looks better than that AI generated fake make-up vomit.

This is amazing. WOW.
er .. really ?
It just looks like they ran a smoothing filter and pretty much removed any defining features on the face. Everything is like a wax doll now.

Agreed, the Uncharted ones in particular are messed up, but 'ooooh', 'aaaah' until they see it animate and then... 'ah...', I don't think they realise that many games could go the very realistic route but they choose not to mainly to eliminate the uncanny valley issue. Even many CGI films do this and they have a practically unlimited poly budget.

You guys flopping back and forth in opinion between 'this is good' and suddenly 'this is bad' just need to realize two things:
1) This was experimental. They most likely whipped this up in a day, a few days, or a week at most
2) This experiment works better on a case by case basis, which is why Sarge from Halo looked better, Agent 47 looked better, and Barrett from FF7 looked better, but Cloud looked worse.

Alloy's biggest offender is her terrible hairstyle. Saving the world while trying to look like ace ventura

Looks good sometimes, and awful others. Seems to work pretty decently on games where the little details are poorly animated, but otherwise it breaks a lot of the animation around the mouth and eyes which makes it seem very fake and plastic looking.
