It fascinates me how the human eye is still capable of realizing when something is not real, .. yet.

I think one of the things these animators should pay more attention too is the involuntary human movement. Like the shoulders moving, lip quivers, tiny head movements. That’s what made the real time puppet head movement seem so much more realistic and less… scripted

Mel's facial expressions even before they were animated looked like they were already animated😂😂😂

It's amazing that Melina wasn't even an actress before Hellblade. She has such a striking and expressive face. Her large eyes make her look otherworldly and a bit scary tbh haha

This is a gold mine for film makers and game developers this is truly beautiful

This is probably the coolest quick capture I've ever seen. The technology is spectacular! I love this!

I always found it funny how quickly and unnaturally the face goes back to its idle deadpan animation after finishing a line

The original Hellblade was one of the most incredible experiences in VR. It was like going on a journey with Senua as a companion, and it made it very intense with the incredible camera work and effects—there's a video on youtube of how they designed the camera for VR, and they took great care to get it right. There's something about being in VR when suddenly you're faced with a huge guy who clearly aims to kill you if you don't fight. It's so much more intense than playing it on a monitor. Shame it doesn't seem we'll get VR for this second chapter.

At 38 years old, I recall my childhood spent playing games, and it didn't take long for me to realize that video games were here to stay, and technology would continue to advance. I often envisioned how things would be in 20 or 30 years, and now I am grateful to witness the reality of those changes. It's amazing to look back and remember how I once imagined the future. this is it, so cool!

Amazing. This is how developers could allow any of their consumers to generate an avatar of themselves in-game with relative ease. Incredible.

The facial animations for the first game were incredible, I can't wait for the next one.

can you imagine showing this to a kid in the 80's that had an Atari or NES and saying "this is what graphics look like in 35 years." If I was that kid I would probably have a spiritual experience and cry lol

We are witnessing the future as we speak. I cannot wait to see what everyone is about to produce since 3D animation is getting extra accessible to anyone. What a time!

Amazing ! I like how they show you the process of what goes into creating these games.

Breathtaking. Excellent work, guys!

So this is why the animation was so good in Senua's Sacrifice. Really good emotion too. cant wait for part 2

IMO the mouth and the mouth micro-muscles are still far to be close to real. TBH is the only thing where you can absolutely say it's not real. But they are slowly improving year by year.

Holy hell that's incredible. Tech has come soooo very far. Truly amazing stuff.

incredibly cool! keep going! don't stop.
