Japan’s newest popstar outed as CGI creation

on Wednesday, June, 29, 2011 2:00 AM
It was revealed that the newest member of AKB48 (a Japanese all girl music group) was actually a CGI generated composite of 7 other band members.

The effect is a little better than CLU/Young Flynn, but there still is bit of uncanny valley around the mouth. The technology is definitely getting closer to being indistnguishable from reality.

The article and video can be seen here:

Are we sure that's a 3D model and not a 2D composite? I know they placed tracking dots on their faces, but 2D compositors commonly use those as well.

The reason I ask is because if the footage of her is just those standard locked off shots, a 2D composite wouldn't be that difficult to create, and it would end up looking far more realistic than a 3d model. It would also be a lot easier.

And if that's the case, and it is a 2d composite, then the technology isn't even remotely as groundbreaking as Clu was. Regardless of how realistic it looks.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
