Question: If this model were in a shooter game, or any other game where you kill stuff, would you feel strange putting a bullet into that head?

No, probably not.

 

[subversus]

looks more impressive than the latest AMD demo.

now this is what you call next-gen.

 

[PuppetSlave]

No, probably not.

What if he opened his soulful eyes and looked beggingly at you like a puppy?

yes

I think we'll see reduction in violence next-gen.

I think more games should do that anyway. There's not enough emotional feedback in our shoot-em-deads.

Not even a little. I would observe the effects with shamelessly horrific delight. Then I would say "MAAAANNNN THAT'S FUCKED!" and do it again.

 

[Haunted]

Cool stuff. I always love tech demos I can actually interact with and control.

 

[-SD-]

Next gen, everyone will have pockmarks to show off that technology.

Then next gen was already in 2006. Guess the game. I bet you can't.

 

[Melchiah]

Just what we need, more realistic looking pimples. The video looks good, but there are some things that I don't want to see when I play a game.

 

[Krauser Kat]

Demo looks nice but i wish you could add more heads. No use if there is only one person on screen.

I'm sure there are whole genres that's won't use this tech. I can't imagine pockmarks on a JRPG protagonist, for example.

Crysis?

Weird, it runs fairly slow on my rig with a 6950 and a 2500k. Ah well, was fun to see it.

came here to post this. Crysis did Subsurface Scattering back then on character models and the environmental foliage as well.

 

[dk_]

Looks good, but yeah... Crysis.

Reminds of the southpark episode with butters being dr doom and that other guy screaming "The Simpsons did it" Now replace Simpsons with Crytek.

*crysis head*

That looks like dogshit compared to this demo.

 

[wabo]

Did Crysis Separable Subsurface Scattering? Just asking.

 

[Rodney McKay]

That looks like dogshit compared to this demo.

It looks slightly blurrier which is incredible considering that is (I think) an in-game face model wheras this demo is, well, a 6 year newer DEMO.

though one has to admit, that they haven't gotten white skin as good as black skin.

 

[HyperionX]

It doesn't look nearly as good, once you take a closer look. The texture quality is a lot lower.

 

[abasm]

I'm sure there are whole genres that's won't use this tech. I can't imagine pockmarks on a JRPG protagonist, for example.

Subsurface scattering is definitely applicable, if they want to bring a rosy glow to their protagonists' flawless skin. That's what this demonstration is for. (Normal maps, which cause the bumpiness, have been around for a long time.)

 

[EatinOlives]

I just realized that we're in for some serious Uncanny Valley shit if we pair up faces like these with those assy facial animations we see in every other game today.

 

[TAJ]

The Crysis comparisons are just ridiculous.
It's like comparing a blur filter and 2X supersampling with 16x MSAA, and saying they're the same thing because they both reduce aliasing.

 

[SapientWolf]

His face looks like it's made out of ballsack.

 

[civilstrife]

next-next gen is going to be awesome.

Next-gen not so much.

 

[PaulLFC]

Looks fantastic, but why does he have no eyelashes?

 

[TAJ]

Looks fantastic, but why does he have no eyelashes?

His eyelids being like 50x too thick is far creepier.

 

[squidyj]

That's pretty cool, can't wait to hear more of the technical side of it. Think I'll read the code tomorrow.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Good stuff.

LMAO, just when I'm shaking my head at other threads NeoGAF spurts out another gem. Seriously good catch...

 

[vagabondarts]

J. Allard.

The Game.

 

[Dennis]

Looks more real than the ridiculous photoshopped woman GAF fawns over in the |OT|

 

[Rodney McKay]

Well of course, it's a close up of an in-game face model from a 6 year old game. If Crysis had been a face simulator I'm sure they would have had a lot more space for head textures.

You rarely get close enough to faces in most games to appreciate this crazy amount of minute detail.

Uncharted 2 did, Naughty Dog released a paper about SSSS:

[BigTnaples]

This looks stunning in real time on my 6950.

Next gen needs to get here ASAP.

 

[-PXG-]

I was gonna post Crysis screens as well.

 

[MacBosse]

Well as someone pointed out, this sure looks awesome, but without the animation to carry it, it will look like shit ...

Nice glimpse into the future though.

 

[-PXG-]

Looks and runs great on my rig.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

That's genuinely incredible. The last time I was this impressed by graphics was when I saw Crysis running maxed for the very first time. The fact that I couldn't make the FPS drop below 90 regardless of how much AA I added or how many SSS samples I ran blows my mind.

I really hope animations and physics are up to par next generation. It would be a horrible shame to see something like this go to waste.

 

[Akuun]

Holy shit.

 

[Dennis]

More than 60fps.....implement this shit in games nao!

 

[charsace]

Did they release the algorithm for this?

 

[.nimrod]

Did they release the algorithm for this?

Have a look here

I also posted the direct link to the whitepaper a few posts up

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Yeah, you already see it in current gen games like Mass Effect where the animations don't add up to the character models and you end up with Uncanny Valley type scenarios that just look creepy.

 

[tsab]

*insert no hair unreal engine joke*

nice btw

 

[Monty Mole]

EDIT: Wrong thread.

 

[jufonuk]

Well Time to destroy my laptop, lets see it run this? will get about 1 FPS lol may .5 and the cpu dying

 

[lefantome]

a lot better than this still awesome old demo by nvidia:

OT: the guy's head looks like peter bishop from fringe, but hairless.

 

[ThankeeSai]

Eyelid looks like

Homers mouth. Can't unsee Otherwise though very impressive can't wait untill this kind of tech is the standard

Damn you!!

My god i can't unsee it!

 

[ss_lemonade]

wow, this thing runs on my laptop at work. That's pretty damn amazing, considering a similar nvidia demo years ago ran like shit on my 8800gts equipped desktop
